How does Hexagram 28 apply to my question?

'The ridgepole sags to the breaking point. It furthers one to have somewhere to go. Success.' Shao Yong’s reading of Line 5 ('A withered poplar puts forth flowers') combined with the transition to Fire (☲) predicts a rapid, unexpected burst of renewal. The numbers 2 (Lake) and 5 (Wind) suggest that while the pressure is high now, an unconventional success will manifest within 2 to 5 months if you have the courage to move toward a new direction.

“direction in my approach to complete our progress my love”

Changing lines: 5 → Hexagram 32

Exceptional pressure requires bold, unconventional action; expect a major shift within 2nd-3rd month

The Hexagram Speaks

You are in a 'Great Exceeding' phase where the relationship's current structure is under too much weight; the 'ridgepole sags,' meaning the old ways of relating are reaching a breaking point. Shao Yong’s timing suggests a peak of intensity followed by a harvest-like resolution within 2-3 months (Autumn/Lake energy). This is a time for 'extraordinary' measures and the courage to act differently, as routine 'progress' will no longer suffice.
