Good post.
It pains me to see RKB like this. In the early days of their marriage, he would get angry but he never taunted her this cruelly in anger. His anger was more often than not justified but he also owned up to it. He never once asked her to leave and when she did leave, he never broke the relationship between her & Ruhi.
Then around the Mani track - he became crueler. Since the turn of the year - he spews these vile low blows in anger, and it's harder to shake them off. There are times when it even makes full sense for him to be mad, but then things get taken too far and any relatability is gone.
This isn't the couple I grew attached to, and it pains me to actually say this is an abusive relationship.
No woman deserves to be treated like a doormat. We have been waiting for Ishita for Ishita to take a stand, but she hasn't thus far. Since they've fallen in love, she allows this to happen. Does she as a character or the writer realize what they are showing? Something needs to change soon.
The CVs don't understand balance. They could've shown Raman being short tempered about these situations, leading to distance between the leads, but no...for "drama," they have been adding in crass dialogs & make the entire situation unbalanced where Raman is the dominating, hypocritical male while Ishita is left to suffer. And that's not the dynamic anyone fell in love with.
I can empathize with a short temper but not cruelty, and the CVs started to crossed that line during the Sautan Sagas when Shagun/Adi went missing.
This show used to share strong social messages, but now it has become this regressive show with a few episodes of beautify & class thrown in.
