First, he already knew he was wrong in saying hurtful things to Ak so he apologised to her. He was denied the sukoon he would have gotten if she had just forgiven him. He realised he did a mistake. If in anger, always walk away, it's far better than saying hurtful words. words are mightier than swords.
Second, he forgot his love on WD when he removed the rudraskh and rejected his faith in maha dev. after Abhir asked him to pray to shiv ling and he did, everything came flooding back to him like Tsunami....He couldnt handle it all at a go. This is Shiv's way of reminding him the premise that he conveniently forgot. This instantly set him up for the grief that was to follow for the rest of the leap. it does not matter how fast you run away from reality, it always catches up with you.
Third, his belief and his pride that his love was great because of how pure and honest it was, that it was justified on its own. So he went and confessed to Ak strongly believing that she will fall into his arms but he was rejected very cruelly. He realised the pain of what Ak felt when he left her (Ak too never thought that he will not even hug her when she had miscarried). No matter how right you think you are, the other person always has a circumstance that you cannot comprehend. If you cannot understand, atleast don't judge others by what you believe is right. Truth is always subjective.
Fourth, Abhir's truth and Ak told him what happened. he was very smart here and actually applied his learning to balance both ak's fear and her situation with his yearning to be with his son. So he did not tell MJ. Once MJ came to know she fuelled his inner wishes to completely own Abhir. All the scenes that followed were MJ pumping him up, justifying that he was right (even if that was not his first thought) and him running off to fight with Ak. At this time, Ak was actually telling him let's pls talk but he still did not listen. MJ always had this influence on him right from the start whether it was her sorrow, or her impatience or her grief or her wishes, it made him completely sideline others in favour of MJ. But he was only hurt when he did that to Ak becoz he loved her equally. It was clearly shown how calm he was with Ak and her family in kasauli away from the influence of MJ. Left to his own thoughts he always understood Ak but he let MJ interfere in his relationship too easliy. Always look at any circumstance or a relationship on its own merit, no two situations or people are same. If you judge
people on the basis on what they have done previously wrong, you will never see the good in what they are doing now.
Fifth, he got the custody because of Ak's paternity fraud as a punishment to her. At that time, Ak broke down the same way when she miscarried. He felt that pain but he still chose to ignore that pain to keep Abhir to himself coz MJ kept pulling him back. he still didn't stand up to MJ and say no, Ak's pain is real. I won't separate her son from her. he took a long time to get there and say no to MJ but by then the final blow was dealt by Abhir. That is why for the first time after that when he spoke to Ak, there was no anger, no blame, just silence, hollowness and realisation of what he did to her even after realising her pain. When in a conflict, don't focus on whether the other person is right or wrong. it is irrelevant to your own deeds. Focus on what you are doing and if what you are doing is driven by compassion and understanding, no matter what the outcome is you will always be right.
With all these corrections in his character, our Abhi given his personality and goodness is right now shining like a Kohinoor Diamond.
That is why I think they were not trying to paint him as a villain. The writers suddenly realised they have a great actor like HC to show all this. He was the hero always but yes Abhira lost its footing in all this and there was a lot of disconnect there. they shouldn't have shown Ak and Nav, that pissed off lot of people like me and they sacrificed Ak to make Abhi look better. Writers forgot that audience fell in love with Abhi's love nt just Abhi. So here we are...just my take on what I think they wanted to show. Sorry it got too long
