In almost every serial heroine backs off because other parallel female lead is weak and needs to get married to male lead
And vice versa
But it's not like job or non living thing or property that can be easily transferred and it won't ever came back to you
But with humans if they are attached to someone else how can you stop your heart or someone else heart to stop feeling the emotions
Yes may be they can marry someone else but their heart will always long for someone else and seeing them near like being SIL or BIL one can never get over
Back of the mind they will keep thinking about getting back to their first love
And real world either they cheat or leave their spouses
So in the long run it will hurt all of them or atleast one of them
So how it is useful
Never got this logic of ITv serials
Confusion is one thing, family reputation one thing but marriage is life long commitment
