AIBU to feel there is no karma after seeing abusive ex thriving?

It takes less than the time it probably took you to type your post, than it does to pop a few photos on SM?

Considering you quoted what I said and then this was your first point who on earth am I supposed to assume you mean by you ???

I'm not interacting with you further because I don't want to derail OP's thread. If you weren't addressing me you should have made it clear, or better still, not quoted me and highlighted my comment to disagree with it!

Im sorry you were treated so badly op. Sounds like you are the lucky one though as you have him far away from you and not living in your house. There is zero chance this man has changed and is now a loving husband who puts his wife and marriage first. You should feel really sorry for his wife, who knows what she is living with 🙁
Unfortunately there is no such thing as Karma, take one look at the world and you will see awful people living amazing lives they don't deserve (look at the president of the USA for one!)
Social media is a load of crap, don't compare your life to the carefully curated nonsense people post online. As with lots of other posters I know someone who made their marriage look all hearts and flowers through their social media posts but in reality she was cheating on her DH and was deeply unhappy.

So you probably need to read it again then, yes?

Here you go...

Hmm I truly don't know about this.

Some people use their SM accounts as photo diaries, some use them to keep in contact with friends/family and some use them for completely different reasons.

I didn't say you popped anything on SM (how on earth would I know?)

And the rest was referring to 'some people'.

Did you think the 'some people' was a code for 'you'?

Yeah my ex who raped me is a multimillionaire and a pillar of the community type now. It makes me feel sick

Your posts suggest that this experience on Facebook has triggered /re-triggered trauma. If talking about it here is helping you then great. If you feel intensity increasing rather than decreasing some real life support might be worth considering.

You did what you had to do to survive what happened in the past. Keeping yourself as safe as you could mattered. It is still the most important thing. Wondering with hindsight if you could have done things differently so he could feel the legal consequences of his actions - well you’re right that if he had been successfully convicted his life would have been changed because of that and he would have been duly punished. But keeping yourself safe was way more important than dealing out justice. Not to society who would benefit from the successful prosecution but to you - the risk of an unsuccessful prosecution (statistically most likely) on top of everything you were already surviving was one you decided wasn’t worth taking.

Genuinely, how did you manage to turn my reply into being about you?

Probably because you quoted my post, highlighted the bit of my comment on Social media, and then proceeded to disagree with what I'd said?

Why did you think there was karma? Read some history. People with private planes and yachts haven’t been extra good.

I didn't say you popped anything on SM 😳

In short, I said people use it for many different reasons and one of those involves keeping an online photo diary.

It's never been my cup of tea but we're all different.

My point is, it's not necessarily a sign of them not being busy enjoying their lives.

The algorithm doesn't use your profile views. Data matching is in the algorithm, which is why it might throw up someone you've searched.

No there really is no such thing as Karma. Good and bad things happen to people, that’s just life, sadly. More often than not, down to human actions, whether our own or other people’s.

My DD1 (16) has probable FASD because her birth mum drank alcohol during her pregnancy. That certainly isn’t Karma.

It really is.

I don't pop a few photos on SM
Genuine question: why on earth should I?
It smacks of a continual need for validation from other people.

Similarly why does anyone need have a photo diary on Social media unless they need to present a public persona of themselves?

Or why if you are using Social media to keep in contact with with friends/ family
would you be boasting about your five bedroom/ 4 bathroom house unless you and your friends and family have serious obsessions with materialism and try to outdo each other with the extent if your possessions?

You obviously have a different view of Social Media but I prefer real life.

I'm a believer that any bad energy you put out into the cosmos always rebounds back to you, if not straight away, it always will at some point.

I dunno, because my ex-husbands then girlfriend came up as a suggested friend to me and we had no mutual connections etc

That's not how the algorithm works. It works on mutual connections, location, contact details you've uploaded (knowingly or unknowingly) and such like. It seems to suggest people you've searched, but not the other way around (it won't suggest people who've searched you).

Im a great believer in karma. I had someone put a voodoo curse on my horrible neighbours.

He died of a heart attack (had a history of them)

She developed dementia and has gone to live with her relatives.

Their house has now stood empty for 3 years.

There is no such thing as karma.

If bad things only happened to bad people then why do innocent children and babies suffer terrible illnesses / die?

As far as I know I've never treated anybody badly in my life yet I've had terrible things happen to me. Why?

Good things happen to bad people, bad things happen to good people and that's just life.

Of course

Which probably would have happened anyway.

This is not only palpable nonsense but quite sinister if you look at the implications.
So children who die painfully of cancer aren't by your definition good people?
Nasty.

Exactly.

There are plenty of things that happen to good people that they'll never recover from, so it stands to reason they'll also happen to bad people.

There is no such thing as karma, and everyone would be better off living their own best lives rather than having hope that one day karma will come and kick their arse. It's pointless.

It really doesn't. Confirmation bias, look it up. Although I sympathise with your need to believe it and am sorry that happened to you.

My view of social media is that those who are truly happy and living fulfilled lives don't need to post pictures of themselves for public consumption because they are too busy just living and getting on with their lives.

Hmm I truly don't know about this.

OP, I don't know why we've been sold this idea of 'karma'. I've never believed in it any more than I believe in Father Christmas. I've never seen any evidence of its existence.

'Karma' is wishful thinking sorry to say.
Live your own best life, that's all you can do.
