Hello!
This is taken from a Tarot reading, but I'm confused how to translate the idea in this phrase :
Cette histoire *se vit* entre deux personnes.
Thanks in advance for your help!

: 'takes place' has the same meaning as the French, I would have thought - almost having a life of its own somewhere between two people

: There is no reason you couldn't say that. The story is lived out between two people (or plays outs between).

Not so sure about "share" if it's in a Tarot card reading. Perhaps "There are two participants in this story" Very appropriate for Tarot card reading.

: If this is a Tarot reading, I think' There are two people in this story" sounds most appropriate here.

So, I would say here: "There are two participants in this story" or "This story will be played out with two participants"
