Logic would tel you that you having been divorced, having children, being 10 years older than he is and coming from another completely different culture would be more than enough to mean that your chances of convincing him to decide between you and his own family are next to zero. But the purposes of this reading are to see if any insights are available which could possibly mean that the relationship is not over. For a while we need to temporarily put aside logic, and go with whatever comes through the reading on your behalf.
I was prompted to draw the following three cards in the order shown below.
Justice - It is probably too long ago for this to refer to your own divorce, but Justice suggests that there will be legal proceedings or a court case and important decision to be handed down by the legal system which will have a strong influence on the outcome. Unfortunately it is not all that clear as to whether or not the judgement will go in your favour, but whatever it does turn out to be it will be a direct consequence of something which began before you first met this man. I am getting a definite impression that his so called arranged marriage may not be as final as this suggests. There seems to be something happening between two other members of his family which could possibly weaken the hold which his upbringing and his family's culture and religion has upon him. I do not want to give you false hope that may not in the end give the happy result that you most want out of this, but at the same time at least this first card still leaves the door open for the slight possibility that things could look up for you when all hope appeared to have been lost.
Two of Swords - A blindfolded woman with arms crossed in front of her holding two swords, seated on bench with her back facing the ocean on the sea shore. Up in the daylight sky is a thin crescent moon. This is thought to represent the meeting place or interface between our conscious (represented by the sand) and our unconscious mind (represented by the deep sea water). The number two is the number of duality, and reminds us that much that exists in this world is made of a pair of complete opposites. To fully understand what life is all about, we need to remain conscious that eventually it will end in death. Things are rarely completely black or white, but rather one of thousands of varied shades of grey. A mixture of two opposites. Good or bad, love or hate, genius or insanity etc. But the two opposites which are being talked about here are our consciousness and unconsciousness. Logical thinking comes from our conscious minds, while our inner guidance or intuition comes from the depths of our unconscious.
Both have a value in themselves, but used in isolation from one another they can easily lead us up a wrong and sometimes dangerous path. So the reading is basically telling you to use both your logic and intuition when deciding whether it is worth you holding on to him any longer, but because you are too close to and therefore emotionally involved with the outcome, your intuition is not able to work as effectively as it should. Which is exactly why you asked for this reading in the first place. You are looking for an outsider's second opinion to test whether your intuitive radar is working properly. In contrast to the first card this one is making me feel uncomfortable, as it could in fact be staying that your love for him has blinded you to the harsh reality that the he is likely to bow to his parent's wishes for him to marry within their culture and his age group if he wanted to be a father.
So far the card called JUSTICE could be a plus for your chances, while I sense that the Two of Swords could be a minus. So it comes down to the third and final card to break this stalemate, and to give you an answer. Not necessarily the answer which you might want to hear, but an honest one.
Five of Cups - Cups are about relationships and the Five of Cups is the card of crying over spilled milk, or in this case it is more likely to be spilled wine. Laying overturned on the ground in front of a dark robed figure are three empty wine goblets or chalices, while behind him are two full completely untouched cups. Because the figure is concentrating so much on the overturned goblets he cannot see the full ones behind him. They might as well not exist at all. Fives are all about instability and losing some of what you had. Some people in this world can only see the negative things in life. Some people can only see love and light. To them nothing is negative. Neither extreme by itself is good for one's mental, emotional and spiritual health. Some people look at a glass as being half full, while others see the same glass as half empty. It is your way of looking at the half filled glass which will determine whether you will mainly feel sad or happy.
It is not so much hat happens to us but rather the meaning we associate with that event which decides in the end how we feel bout it, and consequently how we will respond to life's many challenges. If you look at the possibility of losing this man to a much younger woman in an arranged marriage as the end of your world and your life, then to a certain extent this ill be your experience. You will essentially be marking time until you come back to Earth again to have another try. If on the other hand you view the possibility of losing him as a valuable opportunity to meet someone in your culture and around the same age as you who would love to be a father to your children, or that he has unknowingly given you your freedom to get to know and understand yourself better, then your experiences from then on will tend to reflect 7your more positive way of thinking.
To be honest I do not feel that you are going to come out of this reading with a reasonably definite YES or NO answer to your question. Particularly because the question" will he be strong enough to face his family for me would require me to give you a third party reading, which I am not allowed to do. But the question "is there any future in this relationship does not need third party.
Overall it is my feeling that the answer is more than less likely to be NO. But what meaning you will associate with that possible NO, and therefore precisely how you will respond to it will be your main challenge over the next six months.
Hoping that this reading helps you, and does not unintentionally confuse you even more than you already were before it began.
Love, Light and Healing,
