"You claim you still care for me but your heart and soul needs to be free
And now that you've got your freedom you wanna still hold on to me
You don't want me for yourself so let me find somebody else--"

It's called "stringing you along". It's being in that extremely uncomfortable, pseudo-romantic situation that leaves you constantly feeling as if your relationship is built on sand, not sound and stable rock. You hang on for dear life, desperate for any sign that your partner really cares, and he doles them out and snatches them back just when you're starting to relax, thinking everything will be alright between you. You may want to leave, but you've …show more content…
However, the Tarot can give you some things to consider that might make it easier for you to focus on what the healthiest solution for you might be. To that end, I tweaked a three card spread to help provide the answer to your question.

Card 3. Outcome/ answer to your question: King of Cups, reversed. Workaholic / Playaholic. Not the most grounded person on the planet. Afraid of commitment.

Says one thing, does another.
Anon-- my heart goes out to you, because you're dealing with one of those guys who really, really doesn't want to make a commitment to anyone at this time. So, you have a decision to make. You can live with the status quo, or you can decide to find a partner who wants to build a life together with
