I donāt think limitless love is the problem or I would even say that love is mostly limitless. Abhimanyu doesnāt have good role models in his family - like how to handle relationships. Since childhood he has been overprotective of his mom - and it is this trait of his that starts reflecting in all his other relationships too - and he neglects the healthy boundaries in a relationship. Its also the reason I guess that he didnāt want Akshara to make sacrifices for him - he would have to be more protective of her too. Neil used to knock some sense into him at times but ironically it was his death made him lose his mind.
Immature and childish is what I would call Abhimanyuās approach towards Akshara during the initial phase. I would say even Akshara was highly immature then - but with her sufferings she just grew more and has become much more guarded now. Abhimanyu though protects others, doesnāt know how to protect his own interests.
Also, even if his approach towards Akshara was childish - he acted only because he felt she likes him too. After the temple confrontation he has respected her choices and never made the slightest move on her in spite of his limitless love for her even after Akshara blurted out that there isnāt a husband-wife relation between them. There is growth in his character too right now but how long he will behave maturely when his family is back in the picture- remains to be seen.
Coming to Abhinav - he is similar to Abhimanyu in the sense that he doesnāt have his guards up or expect others to care for him. And I think this along with their charitable natures- made it easy for them to be friends to each other regardless of the circumstances they have been in and have developed respect for each other. Abhinav also goes to extremes to keep his family happy - and I donāt find it healthy either - since others will not be able to match this level of selflessness they will always bear gratitude towards him and I believe relationships must treat both persons involved as equals. And I think thats why Akshara is always singing his praises - she is too grateful to him - I find that unnatural.
As friends they have been great to each other, but as a couple their relationship is not as effortless or simple.
