Social network friend

[eden2011]

Hi,

Can anyone help me to interpret this?

Quick background - K and I came from strict homes, different religions and backgrounds. We dated for many years. Finally our parents intervened, broke it up, we married other partners. K and I (after many years of heartache and misunderstandings) have started to speak again on social network. My current partner put a picture of our wedding which took place 5 years ago on facebook. K broke the ice and told me it was a good photo and wished me well. Told me I looked lovely on the day. It is the first time he spoke to me in years and years. Since then he has been speaking with me from time to time. There is no more anger. So, I asked, what should I read into this situation. Is there peace? Will our friendship resume? I am not so happily married. But will not leave my husband as he is ill with depression.

I received hexagram 13 changing at line 5 to hexagram 30

This is fellowship with men. And the changing line is first the subject cries then laughs out and the there is success. I read an interpretation to this which is:

Two people are outwardly separated, but in their hearts they are united. They are kept apart by their positions in life. Many difficulties and obstructions arise between them and cause them grief. But, remaining true to each other, they allow nothing to separate them, and although it costs them a severe struggle to overcome the obstacles, they will succeed. When they come together their sadness will change to joy.

Then this results in Hexagram 30 Li which is fire. This one always confuses me. What does it mean? Clinging?

Is Hexagram 30 the possible future? If so how should I interpret? Please advise. Thank you.

13.5 > 30

You are playing with fire, methinks. You have reignited an old flame. It didn't burn true back then, and it won't burn true in your future. You dated for years, and yet your parents broke you up? No. Had you truly been committed to each other, parents be damned. You would have married whatever the social and financial consequences, and probably your parents would have accepted it. An internet affair isn't going to do you any good.

Fellowship with others begins with wailing and weeping
but then follows with laughter
Mighty armies can entertain each other

I think you and K are contrasting forces. Entertainment isn't a union. But my personal opinion is that remedial mental illness is grounds for divorce. If your husband refuses to take medication that would control his condition, then you have no ethical obligation to continue in the union. Otherwise, you do. The grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence. If you and K were to split from your current partners and marry, how long do you think your happiness would last?
