I'm insanely in love with my partner
You wrote 'I'm insanely in love with my partner'—this intense emotion suggests a deep connection and perhaps a fear of losing it. The reversed Three of Wands often indicates delays or obstacles in progress, which could be related to holding onto something too tightly. Here, it might imply that your emotional investment is so strong that you're hesitant to let go of certain aspects of the relationship or to move forward in a way that could change it.
The card asks: what are you holding onto that might be blocking your forward movement? Is it the fear of change, the fear of losing what you have, or something else?

Your love could be both a source of joy and a source of pressure.
