First of all thank you, and I completely see where you are coming from. He does tend to make most of his mistakes where Adi is concerned, and this hurts Ishita. For this I hope Ishita knocks some sense into him, and makes him realize fully what he has done. He has broken his promise and her trust, which are two difficult things to get from a woman of Ishita's nature. Ishita has never made a grave mistake that calls from criticism, therefore, I have never had to defend her. She is always right. If a woman (in my pov) endures to the point where she is being tortured, then in that case her goodness in itself is a flaw. Because being passive when your self-respect is at stake, for me is also a mistake. But Ishita is not like that, she is strong-willed and will stand up for herself. She has before, and will, I am sure. She is a strong self-sufficient woman, and those ladies are often born from their own ashes. They think things through, and have a fiery resolve, which is why we don't see Ishita making as many stupid mistakes.Raman as I said makes mistakes only where Adi is concerned. He does not blow his top off for everything like he used to before. Neither does he resolve to drinking and misbehaving. It is rare that we see him displace his anger at Ruhi, and when he did so today it was the whole 'adi bhaiyya ki kar' that sparked it (not an excuse, just a trigger). He is more respectful with everyone, and was actually making a conscious effort to change before this drama. So he is trying, he has setbacks, and I am not defending him, but I hope Ishita deals with him differently now so he fully realizes what he has done. He is always pampered, even today Toshiji was all worried as opposed to being mad at him for yelling at the poor girl. Ishita needs to fix this ASAP.I don't agree with you that his preference to Adi is because he is a boy. I think if the roles were reversed and It was Ruhi who was his first-born that hated him, he would be just as desperate. I hope the CVs emphasize on that, because it does send a mixed message. It doesn't matter if a kid is a boy or a girl, they have the same potential for love and greatness. But I personally think, its just the case of wanting what you cannot have more that that which you have.
That's the point...CVs are giving mixed signals through Raman's double standards. And, it's now more than enough the number of Raman's mistakes. It will go uncountable after few more mistakes of him. I hope, we don't have too see that day.
