I feel the writer is just bringing the core characteristics of Armaan back into the story. The bf/happy-go-lucky guy phase was a fleeting one, which was untangled with his family dynamics. Yes there were constant challenges in Armaan-Abhira relationship with family, but they were all isolated to his choosing Abhira, it did not impact his own personal relationship with his family, he was still in his house along with his family.
He has repeatedly claimed family is everything for him, he would give his life for them. So his reaction, though extreme, isn’t surprising, especially given in most of his vulnerable moments it has been Vidya who has been with him. It was Vidya who first pointed out to him that he might be falling in love with Abhira, it was her who handled him after his breakdown when Abhira left him after Ruhi and his past came to the forefront. It was only after Rohit came back, Armaan took a backseat for Vidya.
He is a very non-confrontational person, unless backed into a corner he doesn’t face a difficult situation even when he’s completely aware of it. Be it breaking the marriage with Ruhi, leaving the house or even convincing Abhira after infertility track when he realized she might back out, he handled all of the situations only when he was left with no options. For a very emotionally vested person, he can only concentrate on one relationship at one time. When Rohit returned, he was focused on only convincing him and did everything possible to sort his relationship. So it is not surprising he is reacting this way about Vidya and is completely oblivious to Abhira’s feelings. For Armaan, every relationship comes with a baggage of responsibility which he is aware of as well, so he will bend over backwards to fulfill it. The only relationship that is free of any responsibility is Abhira, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he thinks she would understand him.
There is also a major downside to all of this, a person like him feels the need to constantly prove himself and also needs the constant validation. They need to be accepted by everyone and definitely cannot handle the emotional rejection. The only way he is going to notice Abhira’s feelings if Vidya is pacified or if he feels he is losing Abhira. By then it’s going to be too late because he would have managed to turn the one relationship free of responsibility into the same where he would feel the need to compromise for all the lack of support and attention Abhira has faced.
