What kind of action should I expect from him from now on?" Yi: 45.1.4.5.6 to 27

[Mpourtsin]

Here I am again everyone! Trying to learn about I - Ching commentary and dealing with a confusing fling. I don't know if the question is properly asked but I wanted an insight on what to expect from him from now on - as he is dealing with business issues and we are not in touch for a few days. To summarize the situation, we had this fling with a guy, whom I feel he cannot be trusted, he wanted or acted like to take things seriously and I told him I am not expecting anything serious so we can take it slow, become friends first. I am aware of that I also have to make up my mind and take my actions accordingly but as he gets away, I feel like maybe I was so harsh on him, maybe this is all because I have trust issues in general. So what should I understand from Yi's answer? The answer seems like its totally about me. That I am the confused one? That something maybe possible only after I made up mind and make some sacrifices? (Line 1) That no matter what the end will be sorry? (Line 6) and considering the relating hexagram "27-Nourishment", I feel like I have to focus on this situation like something that I have to learn from and make some changes to my way of understanding? Any help would be great, Thanks!

45 > 27 does seem to encompass the hunger and emotional uncertainty and arousal present in your post.

Relationship questions encompass that psychological space that hovers in between two people, it is shared, blended, taken on, palmed off. So yes, readings are always about you, and yes it can show you the texture of that liminal space you've shared with this person through words, emotions and the physical. So through yourself you'll see some of them.

What kind of action should I expect from him from now on?

I'm looking at the difference between 45 and 8, how 45 has double the yang. Where 8 has the line of the throat, 45 has the throat and the heart. Heartfelt words that nourish when gathered together.

Because line 6 says , there's no blame, you gather together with heightened emotions. I'm not sure about isolating oneself because of doubt or spiritual discipline; relationships can only become interesting, strong, enduring, if you get out of yourself and relate to that other person. Talk to each other.

There's a local organic store down the road that I visit regularly and each time I go in I stand at the lunch bar looking through all the options, but I always get the same, the best falafels in the world (and I don't say that hastily) its always exactly what I want, so tasty, so wholesome, so filling, so satisfying. Never once have I regretted or worried about eating it. 27.

One day I may walk in and they'll have stopped making them. But I'll always have the memories

I learnt from the situation that once I have the feeling that the other person cannot be trusted, it means they cannot be trusted. It went bad, he had a long term girlfriend.
