but it's time he becomes a little selfish and actually does complain how much he is hurt...without the assistance of alcohol
I think Armaan has a right to tell Riddhima to stay away from him so that he can move on...he has the right to tell her that he doesnt want to let go of his love
When Armaan fell in love with Riddhima he did not have no guarantee that she would love him back....so should he just switch of his feelings?
For Armaan his memories have become his support system. It gives him pain when he thinks about them but also a drop of happiness that he once has such a beautiful life.
I agree he should not spend the rest of his life longing for a love he knows he can never have...but I think he just needs time...it's not easy to let go and it's ecspecally hard when the person you love is right in front of you.
Rather then being realxed around him I think Riddhima should just givehim time and space because when he is away from her he at least thinks about moving on.
Remember there is a difference between loving someone and gaining that love. Armaan knows he can never have Riddhima but he doesn't want to stop loving her. He doesn't want to attain Riddhima's love but he just loves loving her. Something he has always done.
