Excellent post, excellent points, Cathalina.
We're admonished for asking repeated questions only when we're not moving along, progressing, paddling up or down the stream toward our desired destination. Otherwise it would be like being told, "you already put that paddle in the water; don't do it again!" It's only when we refuse to hear, consider, weigh, contemplate, change, that asking another question about the same matter is foolish.

Things aren't always what we first learned as the meaning of these hexagrams. For instance, 23 doesn't always mean dumping altogether, but cutting off the dead parts so that the root can receive its life-giving energy back, from where new life can again grow. What is above and has become obsolete is sacrificed to what is below. It's how nature renews itself, as after a fire clears overgrown plant life, and nothing can grow to its potential because each is blocking the sun and rain from each other. Many plant species in naturally fire-affected environments require fire to germinate, establish, or to reproduce. Wildfire suppression not only eliminates these species, but also the animals that depend upon them. Finally, fire suppression can lead to the build-up of flammable debris and the creation of less frequent but much larger and more destructive wildfires. Maybe, in not so many words, this is what your boyfriend was desiring in your relationship - renewal, just as you too have expressed. Maybe you each needed more room for yourselves to grow.
All of those readings speak to this same idea: 18, 53, 37.
