What do the cards say about the love sit

The cards don't say this is a lost cause — they say the last stretch of it has been running on force rather than on something solid, and what looks like the good ending ahead is not currently holding up.

Past — Strength (Major VIII), reversed. You came into this holding it together with willpower, and the cost has shown up as self-doubt and raw feeling — the part where you judge yourself for how much you want it, and where restraint turned into strain. Whatever this was built on, it was built by gripping.

Present — Knight of Wands, reversed. This is the heat that keeps not landing: the reaching-out, the chasing, the impulse to move fast toward someone or away from them, and the arrival that doesn't happen. Reversed, the Wands knight's fire is turned inward — a lot of motion, less and less arriving anywhere.

Future — Ten of Cups, reversed. The image of the good life together is on the table, but upside down and not landing. Read as a tendency under a condition, not a prophecy: if the current pattern keeps running, the picture gets smaller rather than fuller.

Relation read: all three reversed, one major and two minors — so this is a stuck, internal matter, not a crisis with a date on it. Fire against water (Knight of Wands against Ten of Cups) is a tempo clash: the urgency you're feeling runs against the pace the relationship can actually move at. Nothing here says you two are wrong for each other, and nothing says it's fine.

Judgment, conditional: if the last few weeks look like the same loop — you push, it stalls, you talk yourself into pushing harder — then Ten of Cups reversed is what that loop produces, and the "we'll be happy" talk will keep feeling true and keep not arriving. If instead the next real exchange is one where you let the other person set the pace, and it still moves, then that reversed card was a description of the last six weeks, not a forecast.

One thing to do in the next 48 hours: open the message thread with them and read only the last three times the two of you actually arranged something — note, for each one, who proposed it, who moved the time, and whether it happened. That's a record, not a feeling, and it will tell you more in ten minutes than another week of reading your own reactions.
