Marraige became the ultimate destination of romatic love only because it is expected by the society, not otherwise. In my opinion, the ultimate culmination of romamtic love is undertanding, accepting, caring and being there for the person you love in each & every circumstances.

I agree with you but want to add that there is a physical angle to it which dominate after being in love for some time with a person.

But can one person feel all these for more than one person. They can probably, can they do it without hurting the first person? Hurting sometimes happens because of these social binds. And not inflicting hurt on the person you love is one of the basic necessities of love.

Whether in marriage or not the third person will feel hurt. Love requires full devotion and honesty. One person can't do justice to too - there will always be more inclination towards one. Its the quantum which hurts the other.

As a woman, I would feel socially inferior if the person I am in love with is also in love with another woman. I would feel less of a woman, I would feel there is something lacking in me which made my partner take up another woman for love. But women of centuries ago might have not felt that because at that point in time, it was socially acceptable. And if my partner really cares for my feelings and undertands me well, wouldn't he not put himself in such a positin to fall with love with someone else too.. And if he still does, can I assume that he doesn't care for me enough and just maybe his love is dying?

Here I have disagreement. It may not be a deficiency or lack of caring but the third person may have a greater spark.

I said until there's a hope for a reciprocal, we don't let it turn to love, it would remain and attarction + care + liking. And it is not just true for reciprocal, but also hope for acceptance. If the love is not socially acceptable for whatever reason, it should not be nurtured, and it will die away.. Rather, it has to die away for the mental peace of all involved.

And I too had some doubts about Kabir's sudden departure to Singapore...

A question which struck me was has he actually gone there it is it just s cover-up for his absence... maybe h wants to be away from all to.gather his thoughts and analyse his Thank feelings for Ananya? Let's see when this mystery is unraveled...

My comments in Bold

There are two relationships - physical and emotional. Some people think physical relationship is more damaging but somehow I feel emotional relationship is more damaging than physical. A breakup in an emotional relationship is more painful.
