Karma has finally happened

Re-read your post. You’ve said I’m just as bad as the violent criminals, because you object to me saying that she is just as bad for celebrating someone having cancer…pot, kettle????

someone needs to sleep off their bank holiday beverages

Do you think cruelty to animals is worse than cruelty to humans? Interesting.

I was strangled and beaten up, I wouldn’t feel bad if anything awful happened to him frankly. I wouldn’t frame cancer as karma but I definitely wouldn’t be sad about a horrible bastard suffering a bit,

One of them is a dangerous abuser who threatened to kill his partner and would swallow pills pretending to commit suicide when she left him, several times.
one is them is his ex partner who years after having finally escaped his abuse, heard that his pill swallowing to control her means he’s damaged his stomach and he has cancer, and thought serve him right.
you say they are both as bad as each other. Bloody hell I hope your every thought and action is only ever for others, nothing but kind and generous and pure as the driven snow. Otherwise you’re just as bad as all the violent criminals (and unconvicted) who have assaulted people and threatened or tried to kill someone, arent you? Since it’s extremely clear from this one post that you are far from a saint, go look at the violent criminal face you see in the mirror. And maybe be more kind to survivors of abuse and domestic violence.

I totally get you wanting and patiently waiting for that karma moment.
My ex made my life hell for 3 years. He too had an order against him which he breeched and was reprimanded at court but he still thought rules don’t apply to him and then he forked out a small fortune on a round the world trip for him & his new partner only to then find out the USA and Australia wouldn’t grant him the visas to enter. Bloody brilliant! 🤩

he was an arsehole, but you are absolutely no better here

Sounds like you had a bad relationship with a young alcoholic/ drug addict ??

I wouldn't say it was "karma" as he sounds extremely troubled but glad you can finally move on

Sorry the f word offended you

Charming. You kiss your kids with that mouth?

The only reason he isnt a murderer is that he failed to actually kill the OP, despite attempting.

I tell you what is disgusting and deplorable is you trying to suggest that him kicking a dog is worse than attempting to murder the OP.

TbhI think that there is nothing wrong with the odd moment of schadenfraude when someone that vile has to deal with the consequences of their actions.

Still waiting for some sort of universal justice to visit on my similarly abusive ex as the police didnt fucking manage it.

Ah I see. It was only people cruelty so it’s cool by you. I hope you realise no one has read your comment and thought this woman really owns the moral high ground, I should be more like her. That’s not what everyone reading it has thought at all.

That is pure karma

Apart from dogshit, some of the posters, like the one who thinks animal cruelty is worse than human cruelty, are batshit mental.

And the OP uses karma as a figure of speech. It is not a real thing, you know, unless you are batshit.

Surely cruelty and abuse of another human is as bad animal cruelty?? Trying to kill your partner is pretty deplorable behaviour in my book.

Sometimes people get what they deserve.

The karma isn't the cancer, its the fact you don't care that he has it.

Sometimes good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people
karma is a fraud.

Probably not unreasonable to think it but I am not sure it is a mentally healthy place for your thoughts to linger in. If you have someone you can talk to and l process how the news has made you feel and the memories it stirred then that might be a good shout for you.

The best karma is to keep living that life you made for yourself after the split and focus on you.

No such thing as Karma. Good things happen to bad people and vice versa.
If Karma existed, whenever something bad happened to you, it would mean you deserved it, but that wouldn't be so.

She ditched me in Mexico and I had to hitchhike back 80+ miles to San Diego with total strangers.
She borrowed a ton of money and never repaid it.
She was a nightmare houseguest.
She was a gigantic pain in my ass.
I knew her my entire life and still I loved her.
We were supposed to be old ladies together.
She died of breast cancer in 2007.
I’d give anything to have that gigantic pain in my ass back in my life.
Oh - her name was Karen lol.
I’m disappointed I missed out on teasing her over that whole “Karen” thing.

I recently learned that my XH died some years ago. He was a violent nightmare but I got out and have had a very nice life for many years now. I didn’t feel anything much. Discovering his cause of death I guess he must have had a very unpleasant final couple of years but I didn’t rejoice at this. I wasn’t glad he’d died as my marriage to him felt like another lifetime to me. I just had a mild sense of satisfaction that I was alive and he wasn’t.

The majority of nasty, abusive fuckers I’ve came across are the ones that seem to fall into a pond and float up with a salmon in their mouth. They seem to flounce along life causing pain and suffering whilst enjoying their own.

On the other hand, some of the most wonderful, caring people I know have had awful luck, trauma and illness throughout their lives.

I only hate one person and I certainly wouldn’t be shedding tears if they were to suffer. I don’t blame you for feeling how you do OP.

You're not unreasonable for feeling how you feel, OP. But honestly, you've been living your best life without him for the last 8 years. Not letting him enter your head and disturb your equilibrium. That's what you always deserved. That's his karma - that he couldn't bring you down, and he never got to share in your happiness.

Put him right back out of your head again, and don't let him occupy your thoughts. Even now, wondering if it's good or bad karma, if you're being fair or not by reveling in it . . . it's all just negative energy you don't need. His misery is his business. You're free, and he doesn't get to take up residence in your head again. Let it go. Fuck him! You're better than all of it.
