My thoughts exactly. I'm not liking that part of Mustafa that expects him to be the sole bread winner - his comment today about his new job getting him 35k and that they'll have to run the house with that left me scratching my head - dude, what is your wife earning for then?! - I get that they want to show him more capable etc. - but that doesn't mean that he totally ignores the fact that his wife is bringing in the money too! - Just giving him the benefit of doubt - perhaps his wanting to earn and get Sharjeena all the expensive things is just his way of wanting to shower her with love and not some patriarchal thought of not using wife's earnings!!!
Also he threw his phone on the ground - any phone would have gotten ruined by that!! when they are short on money, bad move for the expensive phones they own, no?
I also can’t understand why he’s refusing the offer from Sarjeena’s parents to help them out financially. Isn’t that what family is supposed to do?
Wasn’t he living off his brother and family’s money before all this? Wouldn’t Sarjeena be relying on his parents or brother if circumstances were different? He’d rather subject his "love" to a harsh life in an unsafe neighbourhood than let go of his fragile male ego. He could say its a loan and we will pay you back later..
Also Sarjeena’s jabs (before they moved out) at Adeel about spending his wife’s money might be clever digs at his male ego but honestly I see nothing wrong with him using Rubab's money. He works at the company too and brings in his own income. Couple’s money is couple’s money! It just shows that Sarjeena seems to share Mustafa's views that using a wife’s money is somehow degrading.

All his fears and budget talks and helplessness so beautifully translated on screen.
