My husband hates me

author's note

Book will end soon, I have three endings in my mind, and this book can go in three completely different directions. 

I just want to know, what are you guys actually interested in to decide the ending according to different characters and messages I have received. 

1) Seher

a) Seher × dead Saad (they can't be a thing if one of them is alive)

b) Her journey into the world and meeting new people- there was a theory that she loves Sahil because she hasn't met other good men, and he is her saviour. It's merely trauma bonding.

c) Sahil × Seher- Seher overcoming her traumas and living with Sahil (This might he extend the book)

2) Ayesha-

a) Getting a reality check and having a character development

b) Living an awful life with Saad

c) (something new)

3) Razia-

I just wanna know if you guys hate her.

My Personal Bias- This person is kinda inspired from a real life woman, who has a similar thought process, but I don't hate them. They follow patriarchy, but aren't inhumane ig? In many ways Razia had tried to protect Seher, and I can't hate her.

4) Sahil-

I want to know the real reason you dislike him

Honestly Sahil's character was supposed to be support system, that could heal Seher, you need some mental strength and love to overcome all of the challenges she is currently facing. And a man with a strong willpower was what she needed.

Maybe because he doesn't has any imperfections, I want to introduce flaws, but not now. Because Saad is flawed enough for all four of them.

I think we established the fact that Sahil × Seher were supposed to be a thing since Chapter 15, why did last chapter came as a shock? They aren't platonic!!! They are supposed to be romantic.

5)Saad

Don't defend him here, he is NOT a good man, victim, ik he has a troubled childhood with traumas. But it doesn't give him any right to abuse or kill people. Let's not make excuses for abusers in fiction atleast.

We hear about woman being victimised everyday, being shamed for simply wanting to live, for wanting the option to have their own choice.

Fiction often reflects reality, and too often, women are portrayed as needing to justify or endure the violence inflicted upon them.

The cycle of violence continues when people make excuses for abusers, romanticizing their redemption without addressing the harm they've caused.

Women deserve to be more than just victims or tools for someone else's redemption arc. If we don't start seeing these kinds of narratives shift in fiction, then how can we expect society to stop making excuses for real-world abusers?
