Honestly, it is a moot point, but whether she stayed with the Goenka's or went to Goa to party hard, that wouldn't impact how Abhimanyu's life turned out be. Divorce frees one from the obligation of coddling their manchild of an ex.
Btw, Akshara paid the price of her allegedly bad decision and moved on with her life. If Abhimanyu, the greatest, wisest, adult couldn't deal with the consequences of cormering his traumatised wife into a divorce, that's on him
Divorce implies you would have no further say in your ex's life whether or not they live in the same city as you. Divorce implies your ex would leave you— emotionally as well as materially.
If a machure Abhimanyu didn't understand what a divorce entails, then honestly, I don't think he was emotionally ready to get married either.
Good to know you find Akshara's loneliness derived from her husband dying to be soothing. No judgements from my side. Truly. I have no right to moral police anyone; neither do I like to do so. And, just to be clear; I am not mocking, moral policing, bashing or academically analysing any character/actor/member/fandom. Everyone should find daily soaps to be soothing and entertaining.
But factually speaking, Akshara's suffering as a widow is still not same as blaming one's ex for moving on after divorcing her on a whim while she was traumatised and physically sick. Because, for me at least, widowhood is not the same thing as a divorce conceptually. There's no choice in widowhood; one chooses to prompt a divorce.
