Asked if a friend is over our friendship, got 18.1.3.4.5.6 to 58

[salilim]

Hello everyone! Hope you can help out a newbie.

I asked the I Ching if a friend I got into a fight with is over our friendship. We've had tiffs before that led to ultimatums, but the last one led to blocking our main means of communication. I've sent my apology through another way, admitting fault and taking blame for my bad behavior, and have given said friend space since. I have not sent them with excessive messages of any sort, despite the non-speaking eating at me sometimes because of my issues with anxious attachments. And now, I just wanted to know if I should start grieving as we have been quite close over the last few months and not having them around is such a nagging absence.

Can anyone help me interpret the reading? I am unsure what to do with so many changing lines.

Hi,

18 ~ Work on what has been spoiled.
(or just a picture of Ruin)
58 ~ refers to Friends in the Image.

So, it looks, to me, like a picture of trying to repair the friendship, or alternatively a Spoiled Friendship, or both.

The key word is trying to repair it.
It is not all up to you, after all.
You can only do you.
I don't think you should start grieving,
but you know you acted in a way that you are not proud of, so yes feel the regrets, work on what you can. Resolve to accept whatever the other person chooses, while still maintaining good will, and work on what you can.

(Just curious. was alcohol involved?)
