When a third person almost broke us apart

I thought my relationship was strong—until a third person came in. An old friend of my partner’s began to cross lines, and soon I felt invisible in my own relationship. Every fight between us circled back to her, and no matter how much I explained, it only pushed him further away.

I was breaking inside. I loved him, but I couldn’t live with constant suspicion and arguments. A colleague who had worked with Pt. Dayaram Joshi once told me, “He doesn’t just solve problems—he clears the heaviness around them.” I decided to try, even though I was scared it was already too late.

When I spoke to Daya Sir, he didn’t dismiss my pain. He said gently, “Interference is like a shadow—when light comes in, it disappears. Let’s bring back light.” He began a 7–11 day Yagya for us and asked me to stay calm, avoid direct fights about that friend, and focus instead on keeping our bond steady.

During the process, the atmosphere changed. The tension that once filled every call between us softened. My partner slowly started to see how much the interference was hurting us. By the last day, he himself told me, “I’ve realized where my focus should be—it’s on us, not anyone else.”

It felt like a weight had lifted. We still have our ups and downs, but the shadow that once stood between us is gone.

Pandit Ji told me something that I carry with me: “When two people hold each other firmly, no third person can stand between them.” Those words became our truth.
