41. Complications / Emotional Unavailability

41. COMPLICATIONS / EMOTIONAL UNAVAILABILITY
The card suggests potential complications in the relationship, such as the involvement of a third party or emotional unavailability that was unforeseen. This does not necessarily imply that your partner has another romantic interest or is unfaithful, although this possibility exists. It may show that their time and energy are being significantly drawn by an ex-partner with whom they share children; a parent who is reluctant to let go; or another challenge they have not made you aware of.

However, this card does point out that you may not be as high a priority as is desirable, and the relationship may lack balance in terms of energy dynamics, implying that it might not be advantageous for your mental or emotional well-being.

Deeper meaning
Because you deserve a partner who is equally dedicated to the relationship, make sure you fully understand the situation. In order to protect your emotional and mental health, ending this relationship may be something to consider if it has become unbalanced, especially if external forces or people are affecting your partner's actions.

Unless you are certain, refrain from taking immediate action. Instead, detach yourself and objectively evaluate the situation. Pay attention to warning signs, such as the person frequently having their phone but not contacting you for days or engaging in unconscious and harmful psychological mind games.

Children first
One exception applies: - If children from a previous partner are involved, we must also respect their rights to harmony in their surroundings and that their parents' respect for each other, despite the partnership ending.
Balanced energy exchange
Healthy relationships involve a balanced exchange of energy between the two individuals. When one person contributes more than the other, or if there is emotional immaturity or unavailability, the relationship becomes unequal, exhausting and difficult to navigate.

Where there is love, there is hope
Whenever love is present, hope will inevitably be present as well, so make time to get together and talk this through properly and come up with an action plan that works for you both. Maybe seek couples counselling together. Observe actions, not words; actions speak louder of intention.
