Anuj has married a woman who already had three kids n was maintaining relationship with ex in laws too. There is a reason why ppl dont want to marry ppl with children from previous marriage. Not just men women too. Anuj already knew how anupama is living with shah's even after divorce n how she is like a slave to Shah's.
Also he can see how problematic anupama's children were n still r. So u can't just break a marriage on those grounds because most of the things anuj knew before. Anuj didn't married because he newly fell in love with her but he married because he was longing her for 26 yrs.
So now it's like once u marry a woman u lose interest in her. And marriage in this show depict same thing.
Anuj anupama didn't had a normal marriage. No business tycoon would marry a middle aged middle class woman with three grown up kids. Instead he should have married Devika who was his best friend n more practical n free from liabilities.
Though it's absurd that why kapadia's n Shah's celebrate all festival together. Generally ppl celebrate festival in their own home n not others.
I have never ever seen a mom baby her grown up children and spend so much time in their house. In fact marrying someone with grown up children is same as marrying someone with no children, as in former case, the grown up children have their own family and can live by themselves. My parents meet me perhaps once a year
And no, i dont think anuj knew anupama will emotionally cheat with her ex and spend 90% time with ex in law family. That's not how someone in a new marriage behaves. He wanted to save her from shahs and save her from being a slave which is why he married her. How will he know she loves being a slave and will go back for abuses?
If she refuses to be saved, its a valid reason for separating. Anyone who loves someone cannot see them continue to be slaves and not moving on. Even parents break-up from children if they see them doing something hurting themselves and cannot save them after trying. It hurts less not to see them like that
