In a love reading
Step back from this relationship for a while rather than trying to resolve everything in the middle of exhaustion. The clarity you need about what you actually want is not available to you right now, and pushing for a decision before it arrives will cost you more than the delay does.
Reversed
You have rested past the point of usefulness, and the stillness that once restored you has become a way of avoiding the relationship altogether. Or you refused the rest in the first place and are now trying to resolve things on no reserves at all.
As you, in the relationship
You need a break from this, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Reversed
You are exhausted and pretending otherwise.
What you want and dread at once
You hope for rest.
Reversed
You are afraid that if you stop you will not start again.
