I Slept with Divorce Papers Under My Pillow, And Woke Up to His Hand Holding Mine.

We never had ‘one big fight.’
It was small things.
Every. Single. Day.

‘Why is the sambar watery again?’
‘Why are you always on your phone?’
‘My mother never had to remind Papa about his medicine!’

Even Sundays felt like battlefields.
My husband didn’t hit me.
But his words left scars I couldn’t show anyone.”

As if the fights weren’t enough…
His mother moved in after her knee surgery.

Suddenly, I wasn’t just a wife.
I was a servant, a cook, a punching bag.
She’d whisper things like:
‘She’s turning you against us.’
‘Bahus today have no sanskaar.’

My husband started repeating her lines.
He wasn’t my partner anymore—he was her mouthpiece.
I started sleeping with the bedroom door locked.

I googled ‘divorce lawyer near me’ more than once.

I even hid a packed suitcase under the bed.
Then, during a crying phone call with my cousin, she said:
‘Before you leave, talk to this lady once… Sudha Shastri.

She helped my friend’s marriage.
No lectures. No nonsense. Just healing.

That night, I DM’ed her:
My marriage is crumbling. Can you help?

Sudha ji didn’t blame or advise.
She listened. And then she said:
‘Beta, what you’re living is not just emotion—it’s energy.

These arguments are fed by karmic tension.
Let’s clear it with a Shree Tantra Yagya.’

For 9 days, she did the rituals.
No fire at my house. No rules.
Just daily voice notes from her, checking in, sending prayers,

and I swear, I felt it working…

By Day 4, my husband sat with me for tea.
By Day 6, his mother thanked me for making her daliya.

By Day 9, he looked at me and said:
I don’t know why I’ve been so harsh. I want to fix this.

He booked a couple’s therapist.
We agreed to move into a separate flat.
His mother said, ‘Maybe it’s time I stayed with my daughter for a while.’
And for the first time in months…
I exhaled.”

If your home feels like a warzone…
If you’re crying more than smiling…
If your MIL’s words echo louder than your husband’s…

Please don’t wait until you’re numb.

Sudha ji’s Shree Tantra Yagya brought my marriage back from the edge.
It softened his anger. Melted old patterns.

And reminded me, I’m not powerless.
