The 3 of Swords reversed can indicate either a situation that is no longer painful or a situation that you are trying to ignore because you’re unwilling to confront your hurt. In a situation involving a past love interest, you may be trying to ignore the hurt you felt at the end of the relationship or the pain of the memories. It could also indicate that the person you were interested in has moved on, and the pain has lessened for them. Alternatively, the 3 of Swords reversed could also indicate that they still feel the sting of what happened but are aware that their feelings for you have softened.
