The problems within the relationship are immediately evident by the presence of two sword cards, combined with cards denoting affairs of the heart.
Card 1 (Four of Swords) describes the absence of communication between herself and her ex partner. The two of them have not spoken for a while, preferring to take a break from each other's company, allowing them space to contemplate and re-charge their batteries. Someone may actually be deliberately *playing dead* in a relationship, possibly because they do not have the energy right now to fight their own corner. It has to be noted that this is not a *break up* card, and any separation falling under its influence will be of a temporary nature.
Card 2 (Lovers) tells of a solid connection between the two people involved, and that a mutual attraction exists between them. This powerful bond makes it difficult to completely cut the ties that bind them together. Even though they have not been in communication, their inner thoughts are still drawn to the connection that they both share. A soulmate attachment is indicated, and further confirmed by the next card. The time spent apart may help them to realise how much they miss the other. The card is one of sexual energy and intimacy. Whether they care to admit it on the surface, these two are still very much *together* even though they are currently apart.
Card 3 (Two of Cups) advises that some kind of conversation needs to take place where they can sort things out and get the relationship back on track. There is still an obvious mutual attraction between them both, although neither of them are prepared to admit it at the moment. There is enough feeling invested on both parts to resolve this current rift between them. It only takes one person to say they are sorry, and open up the channels of communication for new dialogue. They may be forced to be open and tell each other exactly how the other feels. One of them needs to reach out to the other and apologise, so that the situation can begin healing.
Card 4 (Nine of Swords) does not bode well for the outcome of the relationship. It tells of fear and worry that may have grown in to a monster. Someone (or both) may be worrying necessarily about the situation in question, unable to step outside of it, for fear of making the situation worse, and stirring it all up again. Instead of fretting about it, do something to change the situation. Someone within the union is being incredibly hard on themselves, and may even feel guilty for past misbehaviours. Nothing is done to heal the rift because those involved feel disempowered, and unable to communicate. This union is so filled with issues that it may feel impossible to find common ground again. But given that nobody is prepared to face their fears and step out of the safety of their cave, there will be no immediate resolution in this situation.

Conclusion
The advice given in Card 3 will not be taken (judging by the outcome), there is too much fear (of rejection maybe) of stirring up the peace and quiet, and facing the issues head on. The situation will continue to give both parties a sense of anxiety, and nothing will be resolved, as both parties continue with the inactivity of Card 1. This is a real shame because deep feelings of attachment still exist between these two lovers, and both thinks of the other daily, with a mixture of love (Card 2) and disdain (Card 4). Unless this estrangement can be resolved, there will be sleepless nights and negative internalisation for one or both of the individuals involved.
