I think deal breaker depends on each person. For some itās love, others security, others respect. I recall one of my mumās friend found out her husband cheated on her and got that other woman pregnant and said to his wife that he will not divorce her but that other woman is his de-facto partner. She was so casual about it I was very surprised that how can you allow yourself to be in that relationship where there is no love or respect. She said I grew up very poor and lived in a trailer park and all I want is a home, money to live very well, and a status and this man gives me all three. He can take his love and shove it where the sun donāt shine I donāt care. So I asked but didnāt you love him when you married him and she goes maybe for a month but I knew he cheats so I went into this with my eyes open. I donāt want to work and he will fight me tooth and nail for alimony so thatās a no too. This works and I will go find me a man too. I was shocked and disgusted to be honest.
When I met my husband there was one thing for me- a marriage similar to what I saw my parents had. My criteria is respect - thatās my deal breaker. But if he were to cheat then I know he doesnāt respect me or my love so I am out, if he gets abusive that means no respect for me and I bail. With my ex he told me he was attracted to another and he finds if he continues being with me he may cross that line and he respects me enough to not do that. We broke up and he is still a good friend. I respect that - tell me straight up and we good otherwise I will kick you out the door and take you to the cleaners and then I will take your respect too. But I have the financial security and a great support system who will have my back when I do all this. For some, that may not be the case.
Here I think zainab is stressed maybe because she doesnāt want to be a failure. Why I say that because her relationship with her brother only mended when she decided to defy wheelchair bandit and her brother had an attack. Romeo is her nephew one she probably saw growing up and thatās another love. Ushna her non biological child but she cared for her like anything so that proves that zainab when in love loves dearly. I think she cares for Wahab but itās not love. She is too unaffected when he takes that bandits side.
I think for her the deal breaker is Ushna. The minute she realises Ushnaās marriage is going south thatās when she will give in to save Ushnaās marriage. Then Wahab whilst she may miss him he will take second place. Same with Ushna she loves Shehroz but her mother is her deal breaker. She is tolerating because I think she doesnāt think the issues canāt be fixed. To her she knows itās her blood thatās bothering that blood sucking leech who thinks she is unworthy but she also knows she has her husbandās and mothers support. The minute she feels her mumās place is not that secure and her leaving will make it better she will go too.
On another point, I noted that in PTV, they donāt show many self respecting characters that leave when that is affected. I guess everyone is different otherwise why would anyone want a silly hamza or the before or even after Shehroz? Drama wise itās okay but I saw posts saying I want hamza and I thought whaaaaa - that guy is nice but thatās it nothing special šš
For me love is respect as we were raised to respect ourselves and with that love will follow. If you canāt respect me enough to be loyal, kind, gentle, caring then you are not worthy of my love and you can leave. I will grieve the time spent but I will move on. Like Gloria Gaynor said āI will survive ā thatās my theory lol š
For my mothers friend love was irrelevant, and so was respect to her security mattered. For my friends cheating is deal breakers and for some itās lying. So it depends and I think as you mature you have better understanding. Poor Shehroz or Ushna has nothing to compare whereas zainab had her first husband who was amazing.
So here I think one love needs a lot of growing up to do and another is more of a caring cold (like not hot) relationship.
