Agree with you completely. But:
1. He told Ruhi about his deal marriage coz his character is like that. He is a people pleaser and doesn't want people to dislike him coz he seeks validation from everyone who he loves. He just wants acceptance. When he saw that Ruhi is getting angry and crying coz he married despite telling her that he will always only love her, he told her about the deal marriage to pacify her. That doesn't mean he wants to lead her on, coz later he made it clear to her that she needs to move on with Rohit coz his love for his brother far exceeds his love for her. She was ready to move on as well during Rohit's disappearance.
2. Him blaming Abhira will happen till he starts feeling something for her and starts trusting her. His idea of ideal women are Poddar family women who do not create trouble or oppose Dadisa. Even Ruhi fits in that mould. Abhira is a completely different personality. He doesn't know how to deal with her kind. He sees her as a trouble maker, that's why blames her. But unlike other male leads, he apologies for his mistakes also once he realises he is wrong. Their relationship will be a slow burn and both characters will have misunderstandings and differences initially.
3. When Ruhi got hurt, he was rattled coz he still loves her. He didn't consider anything and lashed out at Abhira in heat of the moment. He was wrong, but again, had he lover Abhira and she had met with an accident, he would have gone crazy for her too.

I agree with every point but the third one. He never loved ruhi. It was infatuation. Writers have already established that through abhira. He will learn the real meaning of love when he loves abhira and I think armaan will himself admit this one day. Mark my words
