I wasn't asking for too much. I was just asking for the same love and effort I already give...

By the time the word “divorce” started coming up in every big fight, I felt completely empty.

I’m 36, from Hyderabad. On paper, our marriage looked fine – good jobs, decent home, families proud of us. But inside the house, it was like living with a stranger.

He came home tired and irritated, I was hurt and resentful. Small things turned into big arguments. Weeks went by with us barely talking, just logistics: “Did you pay the bill?” “What’s for dinner?” No warmth, no partnership.

One night, after yet another ugly fight, he said very calmly, “Maybe we should just get divorced. This isn’t working.”
The way he said it – so matter-of-fact – broke something inside me.

We told our families. A lawyer was consulted. Hearing words like “settlement” and “alimony” for my own marriage felt surreal. I remember sitting outside the lawyer’s office, staring at couples passing by and thinking, “I wasn’t asking for luxury… I was just asking to feel loved and respected.”

In the middle of all this, my cousin quietly sent me an Instagram profile and said, “Just talk to her once. Her name is Sudha Shastri. She does Shree Yagya for relationships. If nothing changes, at least you’ll know you tried.”

Honestly, I rolled my eyes at first. How could a Yagya change years of pain? But that night, I couldn’t sleep. Around 2 AM, I ended up scrolling through Sudha ji’s page, reading stories of women who felt exactly like me – over-giving, under-loved, and standing at the edge of separation.

I booked a call.

On that first call, I cried more than I spoke. I expected advice, scolding, or “do this, don’t do that”. Instead, she just listened. No judgment. No blame towards me or my husband. She explained how Shree Yagya works on bringing clarity, healing stuck emotions, and softening the energies between two people so conversations can happen again.

We started the Shree Yagya process with a sankalp (clear intention):
Not “force him to love me”, but “heal this relationship and guide us to the right decision with calm minds.”

During those days of Yagya, something shifted first inside me.
I felt less desperate, less angry. I stopped begging him to change in every conversation. I started responding more calmly instead of attacking from my pain. I could feel an inner support, like I wasn’t fighting alone anymore.

A few days after the Yagya, my husband unexpectedly asked, “Can we talk… properly? Without shouting?”
For the first time in months, we sat together on the balcony and spoke like two human beings, not enemies.

He admitted he had been overwhelmed, guilty, and didn’t know how to handle my tears, so he shut down. I admitted how abandoned I had felt, and how close I was to breaking.

The divorce conversation didn’t magically vanish, but the energy around it changed. Instead of “Let’s just end it,” the question became, “Have we really tried properly?”

We decided to pause the legal process. No big dramatic reunion, no filmy scene. Just a quiet, mutual decision to try again — this time with awareness, with boundaries, and with support.

Even now, our marriage isn’t some perfect fairy tale. We still have disagreements. But there is effort from both sides. He shows up more, checks in on my feelings, and I’ve stopped carrying the entire relationship on my shoulders. There is softness where there used to be only anger.

I can’t promise what Shree Yagya will do for anyone else. But for me, connecting with Sudha Shastri stopped my divorce from becoming an impulsive, pain-driven decision. It gave me the inner strength and space we needed to actually see each other again.

If you’re reading this and standing where I stood – half inside a marriage, half inside a lawyer’s office – just know you don’t have to carry this alone. Speaking to Sudha ji and going through the Shree Yagya process was the turning point in my story. It might be the step that brings clarity and healing in yours too.
