The topic is not limited to a show, let's discuss what do you think can justify EMA or can it even be justified?

I personally believe that the word justification is not the right word in this case, because there are two parties involved and justification means proving it right, like writers are doing by using God, they want to prove that this is how their life was supposed to be so they are not responsible for their actions God is responsible for it, I remember reading some book on space science, it had Arostole's findings about eclipse, what caught my attention was this story about Vikings and Eclipses, Vikings used to yell at the Sun during eclipse thinking if they scream loud enough the Sun will come back and coincidentally it did come back, increasing their belief in the practice, they started worshipping the Sun and The Sun is considered a God in many religions, moral of the story is that humans blame everything they don't understand on God, if you don't understand something just say God is doing it, this is what baffles me the most, makers assumed that Indian audience of 2018 won't think about the concept logically, they will serve us anything in name of God and we will accept it, to be honest, one of the reason I am against KuNan is this God and destiny thing, other is that they are trying to belittle working women (It is debatable but not under this post).

So let's move on from the show and discuss does EMA needs justification? If you are not happy in a relationship what's wrong if you end it? Or if you think you can be happier with someone else, why not give it a try? What's the point of a life of compromises? If we are living, why not live happily instead of with the guilt of not choosing the right person at the right time?

With Kunal and Mauli's relationship, I think Kunal falling out of love is not a big deal, he was too young when he got married when you grow up you understand your needs better, you are stable and you realize that you want more or different, it...although I believe that Mauli falling out of love with Kunal after he left his job is more sensible considering that she has many people who are successful doctors like her, so Kunal married Mauli with all his heart but I can tell you that I will marry Harshad Chopda right now if he asks me to but what is the guarantee that my TV crush will remain in my heart forever? Maybe Kunal is just tired of vanilla, he wants something different, is it selfish? Obviously, but is it wrong? Who am I to decide when he is going to live a life? Why should an individual live a life according to my definition of right or wrong? It's his life and he has every right to live it like he wants to but when your life or your action hurt people around you the least you can do is minimize the pain, the pain is inevitable, you can decrease it , but Like if you are not in love discuss with your partner, maybe you'll find that what you want is in her or him and she or he is not disclosing it for the same reason you are not and the reason is that you are afraid of the change, you don't want things to change, you think one question from you will change your whole life for the worse so you suffer silently. My high-school teacher used the term "Spring" to describe women empowerment and feminism, he said that the women have been pressed with such a force that like a spring they are coming back with equal force, which is creating rifts between two sexes, the example is not important, important part is the spring, the more you hide your feelings, the more powerful it will be and in the end ruin everything you could have saved by communicating.

So I don't think EMA is wrong and your reasons can be yours, none has a right to question you but you are answerable to your partner, just make sure you don't hurt people...

No justification for EMA

If you are not in love with your partner -
talk about it with partner and move out...

if don't have guts to do that...no right to be involved with someone else...and riding twosome!

Only situation ...MAY justify EMA: if spouse is terminally ill since years and you do NOT want to leave her/him alone in that condition...and need partner for your life...to move on... (and not hurting anyone else)

That's what I said, there can't be any justification and people should communicate their feelings to their loved ones

I personally don't endorse two people staying together even when there is no love. Even if it is one sided even then the other has the right to move out of that relation if they don't feel the same. It may hurt in the begining but eventually both will be content with that decision. Staying together might just make them miserable.

Now having said that does that really what happens with people who fall out of love? People who cheat, have an affair and come back home pretending to be the best partner ever , do they really have the right to say they are doing the right thing ? No. Humans mostly don't even know when they are in love and when they are just freaking confused or just plain bored with the same life. Marriage is not a game that once u don't feel like it to play anymore u can opt out. If that was the case then I must say people need to stop getting married if this is how fickle their life and emotions are. They will never be able to be committed to anyone. Marriage is always built on trust and commitment. Partners believe that this for life and thats how they begin with. Yes problem arises but its such spineless act to go and cheat on your partner rather than talk with them and convey what u feel first. If this is how easily people can fall out of love then please tell me who will invest emotionally in a marriage when despite doing everything for your partner he walks away to be with someone else and doesn't even care about what it will do to their partner? EMA is the worst thing and the most selfish thing a person can do in a marriage. They crush the soul of their partner by not only betraying them but also humiliating them in public and infront of their families and relatives. If you believe you are in love with someone else do everyone a favour and let them know and walk out of that marriage right then and there. Just because your emotions have no control doesn't mean u become a monster to your family. Cheating is not a justification for falling out of love. It is just an excuse to hide what a coward and weak human being they are who can't even stand by a decision they make but keep hiding it. They are not concerned about hurting their partner they are more bothered about how people will judge them for their actions. This is what is the reality of ema. As long as they can hide they keep doing it because its convenient to them and when things blow up then the one who bears the most is the one who had nothing to do with it.

Dont get me wrong this theory is totally wrong that kunal never luved mauli or kunal had crush in mauli
Kunal mauli were almost living a perfect life before nandini arrival, yes kunal did fell out of luv

Mujhe 2 ye lagta hai ki kunal ko nandini pe crush hai, aur nandini ko pyar ka matlab nhi pata

Nandini mai aise koi quality nhi jo usse mauli se better banati hsi , i really doubt what made kunal fall 4 nandini

Luv meaning giving not snatching or cheating

Kunan relationship cant be related with luv

Very practically speaking nowdays men mostly prefer mauli kind of grls who r working & self dependant not nandini kind of u r always dependant on u or who r abla naari or nonstop crying machines

From kun side it is: sympathy + attraction
from Nan side it is: gratitude + attraction

None of them is in love, this affair...will not last longer.

agree...Kunal and Mauli had their career to bond over...their profession...their busy lives...that chase of trying to sneak in time for one another while balancing busy workk schedules...

theres not much in common between KuNan...except their joint betrayal of Mauli...and food...😕

No, I am not talking about what they have shown in this show, I am thinking what could have been more acceptable for audience, none has to be a bad person, you don't have to be a victim of abuse to fall in love with someone, there's nothing wrong with lust as well, we are all humans, love, lust, greed, envy everything is a part of our life, none is a saint in pure sense, when people say that they wanted to watch the show to know how people go for EMA, I don't think this show is even remotely close to reality.

really interesting question -- am not sure if they could have made extra marital affair more acceptable without making anyone super negative. in the real world, when you see such folks, you feel sorry for them in a way and wish they made better choices for themselves. the reason is that you know them and you know there are also these other sides to them. so they are not defined completely by just this one part of their life - the affair...

I don't think I need a negative character to make the show acceptable, I think there should have been a more realistic approach, start with lust for the heck of it, most of the EMAs start with lust, it's always about physical relationships, then gradually make them fall in love with each other, it's better that two people who love each other live together than living with someone who's not in love with you and thinks that you'll die without him, in this situation best thing for a partner is to leave the cheater, don't give them 2nd chance

Here none is bad or wrong, EMA can be presented nicely but unnecessary layers of Nandini's friendship with Mauli, Nandini's abusive marriage wasn't required, it's just damage control and there's no need for it
