The thing with Mihir is that he’s the first born of a first born. This goes back to the roots as Mihir was always an adored child as he was the first grandchild of Baa Bapuji. Amongst the cousins he was the smartest when it came to education too, I mentioned just a couple of pages ago how Chirag felt so overwhelmed and inferior in comparison for failing repeatedly while his dad cited Mihir as an example as he was smart enough to go abroad and study. His younger brothers and sisters also looked up to him.
Mihir has been a good grandson, son and brother. But he has time and again failed as a husband and father. Unfortunately, Mihir has been unable to comprehend that his perfection, as his family, made him believe doesn’t extend to all spheres of his life. He may have been a model grandson, son and brother; he was an exemplary student but he hasn’t excelled as a husband and father.
Now with time and age, he has effectively donned the hat of the patriarch of the family too, thus he doesn’t really have people calling him out on his problematic behaviour and decisions either. They literally had to keep Daksha alive and bring her back for one episode to have someone literally slap him for cheating on Tulsi again.
Amongst all the children he has with Tulsi, ironically the only child who came to even fight for Tulsi with Mihir was Karan. Karan isn’t even Tulsi’s biologically! He’s literally her stepchild who fought with his biological dad as he was enraged on her behalf.
Amongst Tulsi’s own children - Shobha has been trying to get her parents back together again as if nothing major happened and what her mom suffered doesn’t matter. Pari is ashamed and guilty. Hrithik, Angad never have once said anything to Mihir. Gautam and Harsh didn’t even show up. Ansh is dead and I doubt he would’ve cared had he been alive and around either about Tulsi.
That’s literally 1 child out of 8 who confronted Mihir and asked him what was he thinking. How could he do this to Tulsi. Imagine that. The only one with a valid excuse is Ansh 
When someone is raised to believe in their superiority it becomes difficult for them to believe and accept their faults and mistakes. And it gets worse when no one’s there to correct them or with an authority to punish them or the gall to challenge them.
Mihir had all this going. It’s what made him hate the fact that Tulsi challenged him and his decisions. Noina played the humble supportive friend and he didn’t even realise that he was nurturing a snake.
Daksha disappeared and Mihir is sulking now because he’s aware he’s wrong but he’s also done something so monumentally wrong that he can’t even seek help or guidance from the one elder of the family who’s around - Gayatri. Not that her advice is worth much, given that she was team Noina and is also responsible for this mess.

to continue the discussion, yes I totally agree with each word you wrote. So if this was a literature/novel, Mihir should ideally have an uphill task of unlearning and relearning certain traits! He should not try to be perfect.. rather try to be a husband who can understand what his wife (or for that matter his kids) need from him! What’s good for one woman (as a wife) may not be what another woman needs from her husband!
But then this is a tv show so I am not sure how much depth they would bring to this aspect, if any!
today he sabotaged noinas speech by his ulti patti to her! This much is fine but let’s hope he doesn’t again do something (to make Tulsi win) that ends up hurting her self respect yet again
