Aydin's final scene with Nihal in her bedroom - MINOR SPOLIERS

Just watched the movie last night and absolutely loved it. It's extraordinary. A masterpiece in every sense of the word.

Anyway, I don't know if I misplaced scenes or not, but in the scene when Aydin and Nihal are arguing, I think I remember Aydin apologising to Nihal and then complaining that he is always the one to be apologising for her sake, even when nothing is his fault.

Except I'm not sure if I'm clouding my memory with the scene where Aydin's sister, Necla, has a similar problem - apologising when she was not at fault in order to try and get her husband to feel ashamed.

Did Aydin apologise to Nihal in the bedroom scene? I'm talking about prior to the true apology letter. I for some reason remember something like a sarcastic apology from Aydin to Nihal, but cannot remember the detail. Could someone please refresh my memory otherwise I have to re-watch the film immediately!! If there was a sarcastic apology from Aydin to Nihal in the bedroom scene about him always being the one to apologise could someone please fill in the detail of the lines spoken.

Thank you!!

All good I will just answer my own question since I just gave this flawless film another viewing...

Aydin and Nihal are arguing...Nihal accuses Aydin of being selfish and cynical. Aydin responds that at least he can "admit my own mistakes" whereas he accuses Nihal of "you, you have never taken the blame for anything."

I really found this argument between Aydin and NIhal very fascinating, because honestly, my partner and I essentially go through the exact same replicate argument - the film is brutally honest

the character of nihal is left much more in the dark than that of aydin

she seems, in some respects, to be very immature and averse to criticism. however, she seems to attribute her shortcomings to aydin's oppression, some of which we see, but some of which we also might suspect is self-serving lack of personal accountability.

the scene with the tenants showed her to be very tenuous in her approach to people.

she remains a mystery, and not a very likable one. the sister i found much more engaging, challenging, honest & self-aware. even if similarly insipid. she was the idle philosopher type. both of them, in their ways, fell into carping at aydin for his pompous lectures in the local paper.

aydin, perhaps due to his gender and training, had at least learned how to keep himself busy, and in the end, this gave him a road forward.

he followed the lesson of the actor to be honest, and of the sister to write about what he knew, and of the wife to get off her back.

all in all, not a terribly unhappy ending for the main character, at least.
