Karma has finally happened

Agreed. Plenty of people in this life get things they don't deserve. He has the outcome he deserved from the sound of it. There is a difference between wishing something on someone, and being quietly satisfied they got their just desserts when it happens.

Sorry what!?? So it’s deplorable to hurt animals but okay to abuse and harm your human partner?

I don't believe in Karma. I do understand though why people feel like a little bit of justice has been done when someone who has caused others great suffering gets a taste of that themselves.

The reading comprehension on this thread is absolute dogshit.

OP, sorry to hear you went through all of that. Whether you're right or wrong to feel the way you do, you are entitled to your feelings.

And I would agree with you there. However you asked how she got that from the op and I felt that with the emoji was a bit harsh when it’s clearly obvious how she came to that question.
It’s an emotive subject and people are allowed to take things personally. My friend is going through a tough time just now and asked ‘What did I do to deserve this?’ Think we have all been there at some point.

I don’t think the OP meant for a second that anyone who gets cancer = bad. She’s wondering whether she’s being unreasonable to feel satisfied that this guy is getting his own suffering after what he did to her. That suffering could’ve probably come from any source - car accident, locked in syndrome, severe disfigurement.

I don’t think anyone’s mental enough to think that anyone who goes through a health issue like that must’ve deserved it. That would be unhinged.

Emotions are not logical or linear and we react consciously and unconsciously when someone who is responsible for inflicting pain is compromised. It’s not as simple as oh don’t say that , and it’s not karma. It’s a natural defensive reaction when a threat (past or present) is extinguished

You do realise that telling @Pinkrabbitt she has made it all about herself is not what happened here. I believe in karma, what goes around comes around. If people see one person as getting cancer as karma then why would others get it if they hadn’t done something wrong or bad.

What’s most concerning on this thread is the number of people who would be happy or glad at someone being ill or dying.

@stupidstupidstupidgirl It's not really karma as anyone can develop cancer at any time, including you or your loved ones. It's not as if him having cancer makes you immune to having poor health.

I hope the cancer is long and painful and he dies a terrified death, the evil fucker.

But if karma is real, doesn't that mean a similar thing will happen to you for wishing it upon someone else?

I don't really understand as I don't believe karma exists anyway, but clearly some people on this thread do.

“That’s how karma works”

You do realise it’s a concept and not a literal thing, so it can have any interpretation you want?

Yes but that relates to him. Nothing at all to do with you or the many other people who experience cancer. She’s not saying bad people get cancer as punishment; it’s specific to him so zero need for you to make it about you. 😌

Eh because if it’s one persons karma then was it also karma for @Pinkrabbitt that’s how karma works. Nobody deserves cancer.

He sounds like an abusive shit and you’ve every right to feel like you do.

100% this. My ex who used to frequently beat the shit out of me went on to become a drug addict and died of an overdose. Definitely a happy moment when I heard

Because she's saying that he got cancer because he did something wrong in the past. That's what karma supposedly is. How can you possibly NOT get that?

How have you possibly got that from what she wrote? 🙄

Nah, don’t feel bad. None of the people on here being appalled at you lived your life with this individual. They don’t know what he’s done. Nor do they know how you might have been affected in the longer term.

I’ve never been abused but c someone very close to me was, and if I found out the person who done it was dead or dying, I’d be happy to hear it. Not one apology offered to anyone for feeling like that.

I don't believe there's any such thing as Karma really. Bad things happen to good people and vice versa all the time.

That said, if you are seeing bad things happening to a bad person who has wronged you in the past, you don't need anyone else's permission to enjoy the feeling that maybe justice does happen occasionally and to enjoy every second of it 🙂

I have been in an abusive relationship. But I realised pretty quickly on that holding on to that anger, hate and bitterness was only damaging me. So I let it go.

The fact that you are reacting this way to this news shows that you are not close to healed, even this many years later. Yes, it's sometimes impossible to heal fully, but holding on to it so tightly that you get this visceral reaction a decade later to news of him is so damaging for you.

You haven't caused his problems and I can't and won't judge you for thinking he got what he deserved. Your thoughts won't make his health better or worse.

I hope you can quickly work through the feelings this has bought up and banish him from your mind again so that you can get back to living your best life.

So it’s ok for him to have abused OP but if he’d done it to an animal, karma would be justified….

Fuck me. That’s enough internet for today

I'm a cancer survivor. Are you suggesting I somehow deserved it?

Wow OP. There will be people reading your words who are battling Cancer themselves right now. 😞
