Yeah now their relationship feels one sided where Pallavi is there to clean his mess. He needs to literally grow up and take responsibility for his actions. It's high time.
I won't call Raghav mental. He's had a pretty traumatic past and he's shaped this way because of that. His ways aren't always right but he's a nice person at the end of the day and he loves Pallavi more than himself. This is what i want to remember.
 Unfortunately he will believe he's cheated Pallavi and did the same thing he hated once upon a time, he's going to go crazy thinking of this. I really hope he comes clean to her. I feel so bad for him- he's too naive and stupid to fall into this trap and by lying is digging a bigger grave for himself. 
I've always believed Pals is more practical and she'll survive without him (she will walk out for sure), he won't survive without her.
Raghav's excessive sympathy gets him in trouble many times. While we might hate what the CVs are showing, they are clearly tying all this back to the Anjali track where we were shown how much Raghav hates cheaters and then how he underestimated Anjali and her capability to take revenge, and ended up being assaulted by her. He is indeed going to go crazy thinking he did the very thing he's always hated in others. Reminds me of the scene where he puts drunk Pallavi to bed and pleads with her to understand him. He was drowning in guilt and almost made us think he was the one who had hit Mandaar with his car. If he can feel like that about it even though he knew/thought it was Keerti who did it, imagine in the current situation. 
@bold it's interesting you mention this because today he was curious to learn how Esha fared after their breakup. He had imagined that she'd happily married a rich guy and was enjoying life while he was completely broken and then eventually worked his way towards professional success (but with an increasing amount of bitterness within himself). Now he finds out that he is in a better position in life than he thought she was and has found a great life partner in Pallavi (even if the circumstances of their marriage were not ideal), while the person he hated all this time for destroying him was actually the one whose life was destroyed.
Putting aside whether she's trapping him or not, if we go by face value of what she said to him today then she really struggled because she was left behind loving him and holding on to the remnants of their memories because of her sacrifice. He also learned that her husband was abusive, so this made him feel even sorrier for her. They were good friends before falling in love so their easy banter and knowledge of each other's preferences makes sense. 
Now, whether or not Esha is trapping him, Raghav will have to reconcile the fact that he has moved on and that he shouldn't feel guilty for having a second chance in life while she suffered. Otherwise, his sympathy, combined with the fact that a huge weight has been lifted off his chest knowing she didn't actually betray him, is going to make him drop his guard and want to go back to that part of his life where there was no betrayal and where he felt light. 
This is a bit like what Pallavi was feeling where she had moved on but Mandaar was still stuck in time, from what she could see (as she didn't know he was cheating everyone with his fake memory loss drama). Mandaar took advantage of her sympathy and insaaniyat. It remains to be seen whether Esha does the same or whether instead of Raghav getting closure through her, he ends up being the one to give her closure and help her move on. I don't know why but I'm hoping she doesn't turn out to be an evil or psychotic ex. I can't take one more track like that. I'd rather see her being wistful and then wondering about all the what ifs in her life, and falling pray to her feelings/moments of weakness, instead of plotting with a third party to destroy Raghav's marriage and hurt Pallavi. Then it would be for Raghav to tell her to back off and show her that their past belongs in the past and both of them are on different paths now. 
Main kya bol rahi hoon? All this on ITV?? I need to stop being so optimistic. 😆
