eight of cups reversed in a love reading... does this mean stay or go??

ok so I've been going back and forth about whether to end a relationship for like months now. finally did a reading specifically about it and pulled the eight of cups reversed as the central card

I know the upright version is about walking away from something, so does reversed mean I should stay? or is it more complicated than that??

honestly I feel like it could mean either "you're not ready to leave yet" OR "you keep leaving but coming back" and those are very different things lol

anyone dealt with this card in a love context?

ugh I pulled this exact card in a relationship reading once and was so confused too. for me it ended up meaning I was emotionally stuck - not ready to commit to leaving OR to fully staying

the reversed energy felt more like being in limbo than a clear direction either way

The cards whisper something beautiful here, actually.

Eight of cups reversed in love often speaks to that agonizing in-between space - where part of you wants to walk away but something keeps pulling you back. It's not quite "stay" and not quite "go."

Ask yourself honestly: Is what's pulling you back genuine love and hope for growth? Or is it fear of the unknown, loneliness, or guilt?

The card isn't making the decision for you - it's asking you to look clearly at WHY you keep hesitating. Trust your inner knowing on this one.

wait this is so helpful I've been sitting with the same card in a reading and couldn't figure out what direction it was pointing

Sarah K that question about WHY I keep hesitating actually hit pretty hard. I think I knew the answer already but needed someone to name it

going to sit with this a bit more but I feel clearer than I did before. thank you all!!
