So far we always felt like Tulasi is dependant on TA...and when TA is not around Tulasi will suffer...
Though it is true that Tulasi suffers financially and dont have any security when TA leaves her...still mentally Tulasi is way too stronger than TA...
TAs behaviour is more like a kid...who always tries to put the blame on others like "He only pulled me", "He only hit me"...
When a child does a mistake it will try to go behind his mother and would want his mother to talk to dad and protect him...similarly...TA is searching for someone to protect him..as he is scared to face Tulasi...or rather the truth...
