Is it just the case that some people never get their comeuppance?

Hello you lovely relationship lot

Have just been having a wee think about my life … and desperately trying not to get too down or bitter!
My 18 year marriage ended nearly 4 years ago. Husband cheated repeatedly and is living happily with the OW. She herself had been married twice (no kids) and cheated on both husbands.
I find it hard going sometimes, being a single mum of 3, but it's not like I have a choice (and to be fair, he is a great dad).
My ex husband's father is blissfully happy with the woman he saw behind the back of his wife (ex's mother). They have now been married for the past 25 years.
A happy ending for all.
Meanwhile I am starting to dip my toe in the waters of online dating (a whole new world for me), only to be disappointed thus far.
I thought I believed in karma, but now I'm not so sure …
Somebody give me a kick up the arse! I'm wallowing, and it's just not like me.

Monogamy isn't a myth, it's everyday life for many people.

Believe me OP, she might think he's the one, but he will stray, he has form. He's still trying it on with you, the guy's moral compass is skewed, he'll cheat on her, she'll learn.

Or maybe it will be the opposite way round, given her history

Indeed OP, indeed.
Either way, isn't it great that these two wasters found each other? Means that they can't hurt decent people, only each other.

Win Win

it depends what you mean?

Lots of scummy people skip of into the distance with all the money and a new sexy partner.

On the surface they might have money, charmed life etc

But i do think like attracts like and I think these people are in relationships with people who don't really love them for themselves. They are both in it for the trade off (not having to work, making someone look good as new wife 20 years younger or whatever)

Us that are left with a 'harder' life may be the lucky ones - our children and families and friends know the "true" us and love us!! not because of anything we have to offer other than our selves.

and we are also lucky and charmed as we don't have to deal with these awful people.

so yes i think karma does play out - just not in a "i've won the lottery, got a toy boy and a holiday home in disney land type of way.
