One can obviously never forgive nor forget the people who betrayed and humliated you,the hurt will always be there but mauli is still so vulnerable and shaken at the mere mention or memories of kunal nandini too(and of course her condition was worse when she actually saw him).She handles herself well in front of him but to the viewers the turmoil inside her is clear.She must have busied herself in work and raising mishti all these years so may be people around her think she has moved on significantly but has she really?She is still hurt which is understandable but if something like this happened to anyone around me and I would see them so vulnerable after 6 years I would advise them to seek therapy if they would be unwilling to share their feelings with their loved ones.
I think it's quite unusual for her to still be so affected by him and definitely abnormal to still be in love with him. I guess deep down she can love the memories they had prior to the affair.
I know at least 2 real life examples where the person who was cheated on, moved on and is very happy. They do not think of the person who cheated them; one of them have children involved.
I think the other thing too is that in real life at least one of them, because of shared custody, saw the ex and she saw his life was not all roses. I think that's the disadvantage here; the ema and the aftermath is still presented as divine.
I can understand if he triggers some uncomfortable feelings; this is natural since he made an unexpected appearance. But to still be in love with him😕 I don't think human beings can continue to truly love another person who has utterly destroyed their lives. There must be some self-preservation mechanism that kicks in. Does he hate him? Is she angry? In love? seriously, I don't think these writers have done any true research of the topic.
Mauli needs to get therapy; Kunal may not have beaten her but his actions and words (at least in the end) were abusive. To still have lingering feelings for that man is not mentally healthy.
And I have been really wondering about the state of deep, true, romantic love. Doesn't it have to be returned? Even if Mauli thought she was so in love with Kunal, how true could it have been especially if a part of him always held back (we know this because of side chick is supposedly his true love.) I would think once she meets someone who returns her feelings with the same intensity then maybe she could understand that Kunnu was not her true love? I don't know. I just hate how her character is developing. I truly expected something else.
