@bheegi di - yes, she is the only one who can release herself from the guilt, but then aern't we all? when we feel guilty about something, which may or may not have been our fault, we cannot rest until that thing is solved. it keeps nagging us until it gets solved or follows us to our deathbed. out of all emotions, guilt is the most degnerative and chronic. it can last a lifetime. strongest of people are incapable of getting rid of guilt, and ridhima is atleast, mentally a very weak person. I don't see how and when that moment will come?
besides, I feel sid-ridhima have genuinely had their moments. it may not have been love, but there have been real moments where ridhima truly saw sid as a companion and not through the eyes of a dutiful wife. certain subtle moments of understanding, faith, trust, comfort. the kind of stability that only utmost trust can bring. so I wouldn't call their marriage completely 'farce' or an 'act'. I feel that if armaan's angle had not returned, then SR could have been an ideal married couple by now (not blaming armaan here)
SR share everything but love. and ironically, AR share nothing but love. so now the question that arises is - would ridhima want to be with a man with whom she finds solace in, and can trust blindly, or would she want to be with a man she has always loved?
so like I said before, it's easier to step out of a loveless marriage because it had nothing to offer in the first place. but with SR, it's not the same. sid loves ridhima, perhaps even more than armaan does, and she knows that no man can be a companion as good as sid is - will she be able to leave all of this behind and walk ahead?
she's most welcome to walk out of her marriage if she feels she's unhappy with sid. but her lack of commitment towards her marriage should be her primary reason to step out of the marriage, not secondary to the fact that she broke away because she loves armaan. why? because there's no guaruntee that AR will happen again, but atleast if ridhima knows why exactly she stepped out, she won't feel guilty about the decision.
