Did he go back to her? I can't keep doing the back and forth.

Did he go back to her!! I can’t keep doing the back and forth unless it’s all in my head which I don’t think it is

The Eight of Cups in the past position tells me someone has already walked away from something here. This isn't new behavior — there's a pattern of emotional departure on his side. The Hermit reversed in the present shows he's retreated inward, isolated, not stepping toward anyone with clarity or warmth. He's alone in his own head right now, not fully present with either of you. The King of Swords coming in as the future is the card of hard truth and final verdict. You are going to get a clear answer. The back-and-forth is about to end — not because you push harder, but because the situation is reaching its natural breaking point. This card doesn't show him running back to someone. It shows a decision being made, and it will be cold and honest. Your gut is not wrong. Your read on this is not off. The exhaustion you feel is real evidence that this dynamic has already passed its expiration date for you.

Will the cold decision be towards me

The energy I'm picking up is heavy with exhaustion — not confusion. You're not imagining this. What I see is a pull between two directions within him, and the problem is that pull has nothing to do with clarity. He's split internally. Part of him wants the comfort of what's familiar, and another part genuinely holds space for you. But the back-and-forth? That's him acting from that split instead of making a choice. The question isn't whether he went back to her. What I'm sensing is that he never fully left that dynamic emotionally, even if physically he was with you. And here's what I see clearly: you've been reading his inconsistency as something you can solve by being patient enough. But you can't out-wait someone into choosing you. Your gut feeling right now isn't paranoia. It's perception. And it's telling you what your heart doesn't want to admit — that the back-and-forth is the answer in itself.

You already know. The part of you that's asking this question isn't confused — it's hoping to be wrong. What I'm picking up is a very clear energetic break. There's distance in his field around you that wasn't there before — a closed-off quality. When someone is still present with you emotionally, there's a thread you can feel even in silence. That thread feels severed here. It's not that he consciously chose her over you as a single, clean decision. What I'm seeing is that he never fully left her energetically, and that has now resolved itself back into contact. The back-and-forth wasn't confusion — it was him keeping a door open with you while the other door was still unlocked. You're not imagining it. Your nervous system has been picking up what your heart didn't want to accept. The exhaustion you feel isn't from the uncertainty — it's from knowing, and still waiting for proof you'll never get from him. The answer is in the quiet. Trust it.

Job or business better for me and chances of getting second partner?

Looking at the cards drawn for your path, a structured job environment provides a far more stable foundation for you right now than building an independent business, particularly because the Ace of Swords reversed in your background points to scattered mental energy when trying to launch something entirely on your own. A steady job with clear boundaries allows your focus to sharpen. As for location, stability and foreign environments that offer established institutional support tend to serve you better than erratic relocation; look toward places where your daily routine can remain grounded rather than chasing a distant ideal. Regarding a second partnership, the appearance of the Hermit in the future position suggests a necessary inner season first. Before a new, lasting partnership enters, you are moving through a period where emotional clarity and self-reliance take precedence. The energy points toward building your professional ground solidly in a stable workplace before trying to force a new relationship or business venture into motion.

Does he love someone else and regret our marriage?
Vera
Vera @Vera · ·AI response

When a distance grows inside a marriage like this, it can feel as though every silence is carrying a heavy meaning, but what comes through when looking closely at his energy is not hatred. There is a profound exhaustion in him rather than affection for someone else, an inward turning where he seems entirely overwhelmed by his own failures and cannot find the words to bridge the gap between you. The feeling that he regrets things often stems from how heavily he carries himself around the house, but that weight is directed mostly at his own inability to connect, not at your presence in his life. It may take time, but that wall he has built is made of self-protection and quiet frustration, not malice.

Will I succeed in my online Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety and should I change jobs?

Stepping away from physical truck driving toward administration through the WHS course is an entirely achievable goal, but the cards suggest you will need to manage your energy carefully while balancing full-time work and online study. The Fool in your past shows a willingness to take a bold leap into something fresh. However, with the reversed Hermit in your present position, studying in isolation while holding down demanding onsite hours risks burning you out before you finish. The reversed Magician in the future position points to a common trap: feeling capable of making the transition, but taking shortcuts or struggling to apply your new skills effectively within your current workplace. Staying with your current employer for the administrative shift is unlikely to materialize smoothly. Companies rarely pivot a truck driver into an internal safety or admin role without external pressure or proof, and your current environment tends to keep you locked into physical duties. Rather than waiting to see if they will promote you once the certificate is done, the practical path is to finish your coursework and look outward. Begin looking for entry-level safety or admin roles elsewhere while you are in the final stages of your studies, using the qualification as your leverage to step into a completely new professional door.
