The most solid of partnerships can withstand the greatest storms.
Many stay side by side amid cheating, scandal, and betrayal. Some grow apart only to come back together better than before.
But can a stable relationship withstand the power of a psychic?
Would you still stay with your partner if you were told ‘the one’ for you was elsewhere?
Psychics and mediums are used daily by those looking for guidance, connection, consolation, and entertainment. These individuals will predict your future and explain your past without prior knowledge of who you are. Some believe the industry to be a hoax, while others trust these readings word for word.
There is an unwritten rule that psychics will never tell you anything bad.
However, every once in a while, a story of heartache slips through.
When a close friend visited a psychic, she was told not only that her relationship would end, but there was someone else waiting in the wings to whisk her away.
Up until that point, the psychic had been frighteningly accurate. But my friend is in a stable relationship and had never questioned her partner before the medium’s words. While initially upset, she has decided to ignore the foreshadowing and put her trust in her partner, not a stranger’s premonitions.
Nevertheless, it got me thinking about the endless stream of people who visit psychics, mediums, and tarot readers regularly. My friend could not be the only one told of impending relationship doom.
A few nights later, well-known food author and influencer Rozanna Purcell posted a question box on her Instagram stories. In it, she asked followers for dating dilemma-style questions anonymously. One user asked if she should stay in a relationship after a psychic said her partner was not right for her.
A little while later, I sat and watched as a stream of similar stories flowed through.
One person said a psychic predicted she would leave a relationship that would become toxic, and she did. Someone else stayed and ended up marrying the man that she was told would never be her husband. Another anonymous individual said she left her partner in light of the revelation, only to regret it. When she tried to get back together with him, he had already moved on.
Millie*, 28, was content in her relationship before having a phone call with a psychic six months ago.
‘Our relationship was strong, and I was really happy. So I was shocked when she said it wouldn’t work out,’ she tells Metro.co.uk. ‘She said that travel would play a major role and pull us apart.’
Millie started to question the relationship in ways she hadn’t before.
‘I started to wonder whether he was right for me and if I was making a mistake,’ she explains. ‘We had talked about buying a house and making a long-term commitment, but suddenly I was in panic mode.’
Millie and her boyfriend are still together, but she believes the psychic reading affected her relationship: ‘My friends and family told me to get a grip, and I did, but I feel I now pick fights where there shouldn’t be any, and I feel on edge, and our relationship is suffering as a result.’
So is the premonition of the psychic coming true, or is Millie self-sabotaging a perfectly good relationship?
Relationship coach John Kenny says it is all a matter of belief.
‘If you believe that this person is right, then you will look for signs that your relationship isn’t right and open yourself up to the possibility of finding someone else,’ he explains. ‘Therefore, what the medium has told you becomes your reality.’
‘This is the case with many things people tell you about your future, including mediums.
‘What we put our focus to we create, as our brain is switched onto finding what we are looking for. Unfortunately, mediums know this to be true too.
‘I can read your future if you believe in what I tell you enough, as you will make it happen.’
John says he has encountered numerous clients who frequently mention what a psychic or medium has said, but in the end, your life is your own. ‘If you think that your relationship is good for you and you are happy there, then focus on this instead,’ he explains.
‘If you are in doubt because of what someone says, then maybe you are not so sure of it yourself.’
So why do psychics tell clients news that could break a relationship?
And can they really pick up on problems simmering under the surface?
‘Working with a client regarding their relationship is often very deep,’ says Estella, a professional psychic at Psychic Sofa. ‘If you are a true empath, psychic, or medium, then you would naturally pick up on the energy around the client to be able to give your thoughts to them as to whether their partner is right or wrong.’
‘You may get a dark sense or feeling in your gut that things are not looking great.’
Estella says she has told many clients bad news about current partners but tries to change the negatives into positives.
‘I try to always be professional in how I deal with people’s feelings,’ she explains. ‘So I firstly look for any positives to work with. It is wise to tell them about positive times to come. I try to guide them but certainly wouldn’t tell them what to do.’
For people hit with the news that a relationship won’t last, positives are often not enough to soften the blow.
However, Estella points out that mediums don’t always get it right.
‘We are never perfect, and we all make mistakes at some point in our career as mediums where we get something wrong and later regret what we said,’ she says. ‘It is often easy for a medium to perhaps make a personal judgment if they are not getting any vibrations or messages.’
She adds, ‘nobody can guarantee love nor is it ever set in stone; people often change their whole course of destiny.’
With destiny at play, Millie still worries about the future of her relationship and ponders if she will ever get a feeling of security back.
‘Sometimes, I wish I had never chosen to call her,’ she says.
‘I love my boyfriend, and I’m happy, but her voice is still at the back of my mind because what if she is right?’
