Yes. But if she continues, it will become normal. It all started with her reaction to Ab's accident. She saw Nav's insecurities and his tantrums after they went to Kasauli... he even threatened to leave her. So she fears that the only way to keep the facade going is to indulge Nav. She has lived with him for 6 years, and she thinks she knows him well, but the truth is she only knows her friend Nav well. She is now not the same shrew that she was when the leap started, she has shed that facade of hers and is presenting him with her softer side. The only point of hesitation is intimacy.... when she has to give in she still has reservations and she still has to convince herself that Nav is her husband. But for all other purposes, including rituals, she is willing to share with him, her mind has made him a friend with benefits now..... with time she will get there. When she does, if she is honest with herself she will realize intimacy with Nav can never be the all-consuming passionate love she had with Ab, Whether she is ok with that or not we have to wait and see.
Secondly, as per her nature, she is once again prioritizing everything under the Sun except her and Ab's happiness, and Abhir's true identity. Her original list of objections to revealing the truth was simple. She explained to Nav when Ab left Kasauli, it only included her anger at Ab's ignorance of her calls, coupled with the fear that if he did find out he may take Abhir away from her. And Nav cleverly understood that it was not him who needed her to give him the family he craved but it was her who needed him to continue her facade. He made a curious statement regarding haq (right) and responsibility and assured her that he had not taken any haq. Only he started after that! But it assured her then and their power dynamics altered from that point itself. Nav was no more hesitant or scared, and in fact, he took the decision to go to UD, go on a flight, and so on. They were all small decisions, but it showed him that she was so desperate to keep her facade that she is willing to compromise. And his demands have only gone up since then.
To her list of objections, she has now added Nav's love for Abhir, which after 6 years she cannot snatch. And next is the newly added impending Ab-Ar marriage. As time goes on, she will keep finding reasons to delay the reveal. And every time, she adds an item, she is making herself more vulnerable to him. He may be a very good guy, attentive to her, but he is definitely selfish. And he definitely dislikes if she gave attention to Ab, so he is getting possessive. Otherwise, why would he feel the need to walk into the ICU room of a sedated patient and taunt him for his loss and gloat over his gain? And yet he was unable to take the retaliation from Ab.... did he confess to Ak what he did?
