Perhaps you need a follow up question for clarity. For example "what steps should I take to work on what has been spoiled?" 18 says for you to cross the great stream and work on what has been spoiled. It says for you to follow through with your intentions and evaluate 3 days before and 3 days after.
If in your heart (gut) you would rather remove the person from your life, then do so. The thing with it being unchanging, I believe the situation will remain spoiled if you do nothing. Majority of the advice in the Iching seems to be to act in moderation, following the middle way, listening to your inner truth, watching for the right times and seasons. Doing what is best for yourself and all involved seems the way of the suprior man.
Only you know what has been spoiled and how. Only you know what the right thing to do is. Perhaps some meditation would help.
I have no ideas about your reading, but wanted to let you know there's a thread dedicated to 18 unchanging, here:
http://www.onlineclarity.co.uk/friends/showthread.php?16697-Your-Experiences-with-Unchanging-Castings-Hexagram-18
It's part of a whole series on unchanging hexagrams, with one thread for each. The links to the individual threads are collected here:

Hopefully something in there will help .
Hello, vitzyy, and welcome.
I see 18 as an opportunity to fix what is not right, to correct errors that were made in the past.
In my case it wasn't like I didn't know things have been messed up in my life for a long time but I didn't have the capacity to deal with them back then. When I got 18 unchanging it was in the time when I started to feel that I cannot keep going like this anymore and need to do something about it and what's the most important, I started to feel like I'm able to do something about it. I'm not exactly sure what to do yet but I'm facing the problem now and I'm sure I'll find a solution eventually.
36 seems to describe your current situation, says your environment is difficult now, even hostile to you in some respect. The lines of 46 seems auspicious so I'd say you're going in the right direction but you can't get anywhere in one big jump, it's more about a steady progress, one step at a time, because you're not in a strong position and your resources are limited. I think that 36 advises you stay true to yourself, avoid confrontations, be cautious, reserved and humble.
P.S. I'm still a beginner so, please, bear that in mind.
