The 3 of Swords in a relationship could indicate the possibility of rejection and separation, coming to the realization that you have experienced enough heartache.
Concluding that the pain you may feel at parting is nothing compared to the continued unhappiness that you are experiencing in the relationship, you are prepared to move on. Perhaps you are aware that a change is needed the 3 of Swords is pushing you to make that change.
On a milder note, this card may indicate poor communication after a misunderstanding or disagreement. You are shutting your partner out or your partner is shutting you out.
