hey we used to share very similar perspectives earlier. After aag episode my read of Ani has been way more critical than yours - and thats where the main diff stems. You give him leeway by interpreting and excusing his actions as writer proficiency issues. I only assess the story based on what I see, not assuming writer meant this but poor writing is indicating differently.
At least thats what I think is happening.
J is nowhere perfect. I do believe she was hurt by Ani's initial abruptness while considering her request to marry him. NO she never wanted him to nibhaofy that relationship, but after seeing him be so supportive of her - that sullenness and blaming of her, Ani did on the day of the forced marriage and the first few days in BH I do believe contributed to her firm resolution in not asserting her relationship with him against his with Arshi. She did have expectations from him, once he applied sindoor on her, even though it is not justifiable, thats why all her comments have always been tinged with that edge where she shows her bitterness without meaning to. So many incidents - her insistense in the car that he drop her on the road when Tejas was pursuing them and Ani felt bad lying to Arshi, the way he reacted when she burst into his room where he was doing pda with Arshi and he yelled at her...the whole saree situation...J had expectations from Ani from the moment the sindoor hit her forehead, whether she accepts it or not. She says something but her accusing stare and words conflict. Everytime she says I will leave for ever it seems more like a threat to Ani than a true desire to leave and let Ani Arshi be happy.
Even when she left for Kashmir - she told him - I would never take back a gift and give to another. She held the marriage reversal against him even though she herself denied the marriage. She has said that once Sindoor was applied her whole perspective changed. She also has always considered him her husband thats why she always gave in to him before she left for her exams in Kashmir. She keeps saying she has no one to Ani - always in an complaining upset tone.
Ani is a flip flopper who does not know how to assess his own feelings and is very short sighted. J is passive aggressive contradictory woman who knows exactly what she wants but lets the happenings of the past cloud her judgement and sense. Both are flawed. I sympathsize with J more only because she has cause to be the way she is. Ani could have had better sense given his relatively easier life. Deceiving Arshi and hurting Jhanak for the sake of his hurt ego is a very childish thing to do, and I am very glad Leena gave him the due consequences of his actions.
Ani says his marriage with Arshi broke independently of J. But when he thought J was dead, he wanted Arshi with him. He thinks of J while making love to Arshi. He demands J give in to him and stay in toxic BH and listen to his toxic family when her father just died. It's all about him. He was willing to help her till he learned abt AK marriage acceptance. So his love for j is selfish. Its never been about her happiness.
Lets see how much Arshi pregnancy affects J and then we can see if your theory of J not understanding the practicality of what she believes. I am curious to see how Leena handles this. My take is while she wont be jumping for joy, she will not be overly impacted.
