Hello IC community, this is my 1st thread here and it's about something that has been bothering me for a while.
My ex broke up with me around 5 months ago, I'm still not sure why, although things really weren't working out anymore, she was always too cold and distant, maybe never really had any true feelings.

When I asked now, 5 months later what she thinks of me I got hex 54 "Kuei Mei / A Loveless Marriage":
"THE MARRYING MAIDEN.
Undertakings bring misfortune.
Nothing that would further. "

With changing lines 4 and 6:
"The groom draws no blood from the sacrifice.
The bride's basket remains empty.
A barren marriage."

Turning into 41, "Decrease":
"At the foot of the mountain, the lake:
The image of DECREASE.
Thus the superior man controls his anger
And restrains his instincts."

I am taking this as a sign of DO NOT CONTINUE, for it will only hurt me more, and it is better to be content with less now and wait for better things. The Iching online interpretation actually wrote this:

"This is at best a Marriage of Convenience.
You have found yourself in desperate straits, a position of weakness, and you are tempted to pay dearly for a remedy.
A drowning man isn't picky about who throws him a rope.
The rescue offered to you now is undesirable.
It may pull you out of this sticky situation, but it will cause even greater predicaments down the road.
Don't obligate yourself in this way. You are selling your future for a quick fix today."

Is there anything worth fighting for here, or is it really time to let go?? I really don't see anything positive here :brickwall:... Any thoughts?

Please help if you can
:bows:

Also, I'm confused about whether the Iching is telling me what to do, or telling me what's on HER mind... I usually ask questions about myself, my future, my doubts, what should I do, etc. And do not know if to interpret this as an insight to her mind or an interpretation of what I can/should do.
What is your opinion on this?

I take it that the I Ching is saying the relationship lacks solid worth. "A woman holds a basket with nothing inside; a man stabs a sheep without drawing blood." Neither have anything to give to the relationship. And 41 usually means to decrease your emotional involvement. Best to let the whole thing go, in my opinion.
