I am glad someone touched on this point of what Ak was actually doing with this outburst. She got triggered by Abhir's comment and annoyed that Abhi was blowing hot and cold, that's fine. But I felt her issue was something else and it connects with what happened on the WD.
On WD, Abhi pointed out every single incident that caused an issue between, he didn't leave a single one out. Ak rejection of him coz Ar, interfering in family matters, leaving him for his hand, telling Neil about Al's fake pregnancy and concluded that Ar was right about Sirat. And all that time Ak thought they had resolved those issues and moved on. Hence her comment today that this is your old problem, you say you forgot but expect everybody else to forget. So basically he never forgived her mistakes and punished her on WD, but wants Ak to forget what happened to her (he wasn't asking her that but I am trying to highlight Ak's mindset here).
She said you know why I am giving so much gyaan bcoz you want to remain like the old Abhi (who caused her lot of pain and tried to control her). But she is not the old ak who will always try to calm him down, she has become bitter and argumentative. So they should never forget their responsibilities. and that means they will end up fighting. So when Harsh and MJ fought or whatever problems, who suffered the trauma of it - it was Abhi. and what happened to him. He had so much anger that he unleashed it on his loved ones. This is the trauma she is referring to.
and she raised another amazing point, she drew an analogy between the smelly jacket, and said one minute you care about me so much and another minute you don't even want to see my face. Which is exactly what happened on WD.
This is why she pressed him to reveal his issue because she does not want to make any assumptions on what is troubling him. She used to think she understood him before divorce but she realised that she never did as he always had issues with her. Now Abhir is involved so she cannot make assumptions as they cannot keep fighting.
Also, the old Abhi surrenders to his anger but new Abhi does not. So why will she want to the old Abhi. That means he can do the same thing, lose his self in anger and repent later. But who will bear the consequences. I think she wants the new Abhi. But Abhi's point is that his love was always there. I think they both misunderstand each other here.
Such important points, this warranted a proper discussion whereas I am not even sure if Abhi understood her. I think he did that is why he said the truth and was honest with her. he gets her grief but he has no opportunity to set it right.
Very nicely written. Your observation and break down of her whole speech is correct and proper.
