Dear Clarity friends

I think I would need you help on this.

The situation that's been bothering me is that I've recently been romantically involved with someone and the whole affair is full of difficulties and setbacks etc. Last time we met, a couple of days ago, we had an argument over an issue which I consider to be serious and there is now some estrangement between us. So I asked the Yi for some clarification and when I posed the questions, I was ready to accept even negative answers. Usually, when it comes to matters of the heart at least, the answers can be interpreted the way the inquirer would want to and the message might not be understood. But I was really ready to listen.

I posed three questions. The first one was: "Describe the situation between us now".
I got 28.2,4 > 39. My short interpretation is that it is a crisis situation, something is excessive (not sure what), the situation needs to be changed. The lines point to rejuvenation and new growth - I'm not entirely sure what the message of line 28.4 is.

The second question was: "What will be the outcome if I persist with this person, what are the prospects in this case". I got 3.2 > 60. What I understood is that there are so many difficulties because it is only the beginning of the relationship, things haven't stabilized yet, I have to be cautious about making any movements, order and clarity will come. Line 2 seems to be to be describing an actual situation that I will encounter. It seems less abstract than other lines in the Yi.

Finally, my last question was: "What do I need to know now". I was asking the Yi to really tell me whatever it felt I should know and I got 36.1 > 15. I posed the question last night and as I'm not so familiar with all hexagrams, my quick and broad interpretation is that I have to expect some real difficulties for the time being, I should persevere in what I want abiding by my principles at the same time, but I should not let my feelings or my thoughts show.

Overall, I think that the Yi is telling me that it is worth persisting with this person but things won't be easy for a period of time. However, do you more experienced users of the Yi think that I'm misinterpreting the answers? I'd really like to know if I should just forget about the whole thing and move on. In any other case, I wouldn't have been bothered but he is someone that I like a lot in a way I haven't for a long long time so I'd like to give it a go if there's potential. But I'm not in love (yet at least) and this would be the best time to move on -so I'd really appreciate anyone's help with interpretation.

Sorry for the long post.
