I get it that you have expectations from Ak, but why are there none from Abhim? That is my point. As I mentioned earlier building trust is a two way thing. And no I don’t see any growth in Abhimanyu, might be we are viewing things from different perspectives Idk, but that is how it is. No matter what, Abhir is a child, and Abhim treating him that way is not cool. We expect maturity from adults, not 6 year olds. And about Ak trusting Abhim, the guy has not done anything as such to win her trust so that kind of expectation is not right. Neither do I expect Abhimanyu to understand Ak right now, nor the opposite, because there has been a lot of differences between them in recent times which cannot vanish just like that. Both need to build back that trust organically with time rather than just randomly out of nowhere. That’s not an idealistic situation, Abhim also failed to trust Ak when she was telling him that Kairav didn’t kill Anisha, Abhim also failed to trust her when she was telling him she did not reveal Neil’s DNA test result, Abhim did not trust her during WD either, and all these times they still had the husband-wife relationship binding them. So, why set such expectations from Akshara to trust Abhim over BP while Abhim-Ak don’t have any relationship binding them close anymore? Sorry to say but I don’t see how that viewpoint is neutral either
How is Abhimanyu supposed to build the trust when he is the one who would be questioned? That is again his proving his innocence, not showing trust in anyone. And I am not expecting anything one sided, Abhimanyu trusted Akshara to tell Abhir the truth, the right way, Akshara was the one who got angry because Abhimanyu saw Abhir tensed and no more wanted to live according to her sharte. Akshara didn't trust Abhimanyu with Abhir for a single day, she was over every day, when Abhimanyu requested a few hours of his son's time, she said he can be anything BUT his father and that is something she as the mother will make sure, and she did in the end. Abhimanyu trusted Akshara and Abhinav to never poison Abhir against him, but they did when they said Abhir's father wants to take him away. Abhimanyu showed trust in Akshara and Abhinav when it was needed, he even trusted Muskaan and Kairav, but when has Akshara shown trust on Abhimanyu? She "trusted" him to accept her without explanation after she turns up a year later, but that's not trust, that's her assuming he should live according to her. Trust is given free initially, and then has to be earned. While Abhimanyu lost the trust on WD after losing his brother, his kids and seeing his mother break down as his wife refused to let them mourn because she had to say bye too, Akshara lost it by spending all this time erasing Abhimanyu from Abhir's life and then ensuring Abhir can never love him as a father. For me, Akshara became worse than Abhimanyu the day she allowed Abhinav to say to Abhir that Abhir's father wants to take him away when it was BP who started custody with the condition that Abhir will never find out the truth, because it suited her. She was so over confident of winning that she even told Abhimanyu that she is nice so she'll tell her son when she wants to, which would have come when Abhimanyu was dead, because she didn't tell even when he was dying. As a woman, she had full rights to move on, as a mother, she had full rights to protect her son, but she didn't use the later rights, she rather chose to protect her perfect family illusion than her son.
