Hexagram 40.5 for love, or intent of a person toward another

[drake]

Does anyone care to to interpret this reading for the question: What is "person's" intent toward me? I used the search function on the forum already for "hexagram 40.5", and scrolling through the results, seemed to get just about everything except what I put in the search engine.

Hello, are you still in contact with that person ? What happened ?

Well, this is a person who has helped me enormously, but the I Ching generally gives me hexagram 44 for her. I find email contact with her problematic. I have found some of her emails to be aggressive and insulting. I have told her that I generally get hexagram 44 for her, and encouraged her to seek advice from the I Ching on how she can reform herself. But she disregards my advice.

40.5 - 47 : Line 5 "If only the noble man can free himself, it brings fortune. He thus shows the vulgar that for him the matter is serious. »
My hypothesis : Indeed, your girlfriend "44" is aggressive and according to line 5, you have to make her understand that for you, it is a serious matter (47 = oppression).
The board seems to show her that you have to detach yourself (40 = deliverance) from her aggression ; she must understand that it is not appropriate... Other translations - Noble ones have solutions - evoke the idea of seeking advice from a trusted friend or finding an expert (psychologist?)... And I could understand this idea because you speak about love...

Seems pretty simple to me, 40.5 indicates release from (47). You should withdraw from this interaction. 44 literally says 'do not marry the woman'. Whatever her intent towards you the Yi seems to be more focused on telling you to disentangle yourself.
