coming between
Inserting oneself amid
Coming between is positioning oneself in the middle of two things or people, often to separate or interfere.
Physically, it means occupying the space that divides: The referee came between the fighters.
More often it describes disrupting a relationship or connection: Don't let money come between you and your family.
Nothing could come between them.
