My idea is he is sad. He says he has got nothing to live for. According to that he had nothing to live for when Neil and his unborn children died and he threw Akshara out. But he still found a reason to live in Roohi and his mother. The fatherless child of his brother. She became one of the sole reasons apart from his mom to live.
Now he gets Abhir, Roohi takes a backseat for him. It was explicitly shown in some episodes especially picnic ones. Now Abhir has rejected him and wants to live with his parents. What Abhimanyu Birla can't take is rejection. He becomes sad. Anyone will be. Even Akshara was when she had to give Abhir to Abhimanyu.
But saying I don't have reasons to live when there is Roohi who loves her poppy to the core, it feels like just because he cannot be with his khoon, nothing else matters. And it is not even like Abhir is dead (God forbid), he is with his mom where Abhimanyu can meet him anytime he wants. He is financially so well off, he can fly to Kasauli anytime he wants. That's how custody works in divorces, right? Do parents wash their hands off the other kid's responsibility because one of their kids is with the mom is the question? Akshara got weekends. He can come visit Abhir on weekends. Why is he blowing this out of proportion? Akshara used to wait for weekends so she can spend time with Abhir. She got sick only when Manjari suspended all kind of her visitation rights.
Again, let's see today's episode. Your 6 year old son without whom you cannot apparently live with is, standing behind you, hugging you. What does he give prominence to? His feelings, not the kid's. Who will make a kid feel guilty because the kid just asked for their wish? (I know Akshara and Abhinav did and I do not agree with it all but the context is different. It was not selfish reasons or taking revenge on Abhir because he hurt their feelings or anything, not supporting what they did. Just saying context is different.)
Abhimanyu's character has been very consistent since the beginning of season 3. He hasn't changed even a bit. And that is exactly the problem. In a way the core of his personality is just like Aarohi's pre leap. Both of them want to be the centre of the universe and everyone else to revolve around them. The only difference is the modus operandi. Aarohi schemed, plotted and manipulated. Abhimanyu shouts, breaks stuff, cries and gaslight others. I think Abhimanyu felt entitled for this wanting to be the centre of attention because of his mom and how she raised him. And everytime Akshara showed any priority towards anyone other than Abhimnayu he used to behave so badly making her feeling extremely guilty.
I hope this is clear.
Just tagging Noorain here, since you asked about rejection.
