Karma stories for cheaters?

35 replies

Name changed for this one so I'm not identified.

Does anyone have any stories of Karma for cheating spouses? How long did it take and what happened for things to catch up to them?

Did they get their 'realisation & regret' or were they cheated on themselves in the end?

Please share!

If you believe in karma surely being smug that someone is suicidal or has had a stroke and has no carer isn't the best idea!

My ex's female best friend came round every weekend after our baby girl was born, flirting with him, making digs at me. I left due to PND.

A few months later, they were an item. Now he's stuck with a weirdo who tries to break up the family of a newborn (she's always come across as weird), and although she thinks she's found the love of her life, little does she know he's got a bad porn addiction, erectile dysfunction, a tiny penis, and that he flirts with me and is still possibly in love with me. They've already broken up once. Oh, how I'm going to enjoy watching them crash and burn due to his womanising ways!

Ow caught my ex in their “family hone” lol in the act! I totally laughed my butt off at that. I also resisted replying to her message with “ did you let them finish /offer refreshments etc.. She forgot she the one who knowing slept with a married man who was still with his wife. Once a cheater always a cheater ! And he is on tinder lol 😂

I think my ex has got close to karma.. cheated on me for 7 years of our marriage including when our 2 dcs were born. Also emotionally and financially abusive. I have a disability and a friend of mine told me that he said I’ll never meet anyone because of it.

3 years later I met my now dh who is an exceptional dh and stepdad, we have a life dh could only dream of. He must feel like someone whacked him on the headSmile

yes mine tried to get back with me a couple of weeks ago - I told him to fuck off.

It gives me great pleasure that he is stuck in a miserable relationship that he wants to get out of with a deranged damaged woman who he doesn't even like let alone respects. It gives me great pleasure that she is stuck with a lying, cheating, alcoholic, std ridden pathalogical liar who she just can't trust (because he's cheated over and over again). We get what we deserve.

my life has gone from strength to strength - it's pretty good. And it's a cliche, but living an amazing happy life is the best thing.

My experience is that cheaters dont prosper long term. They tend to cheat again or get cheated on, my ex has flitted from relationship to relationship, some last three or four years but they always fail and hes always cheating. I think he will end up old and lonely.

My partner didn't stay with either of the women he cheated with. Karma got him well enough but it also got the women.
They both knew he was married and had a family yet still decided it was a good idea. 20 years later they both went on to get married and have a family and their partner cheated on them so they're now both single mums and didn't get the happily ever after they wanted.

Good.

Sure it was my partner doing the cheating but as they knew his situation they did wrong too and I'm glad to see it came back around to destroy them and their families. Wonder if they'd be so quick to cheat with a married man again knowing what it's like.

family member cheated on his wife in the 80s. Left her and the kids for a younger model. Paid very little and had little to do with his first family afterwards. At this point his father and older brother basically turned their backs on him as they were so disgusted. They were cordial to him but no further. He had more children with his new wife and a beautiful home. 20 years on he and his wife separated as he found out she had been sleeping with everyone she met for the last 20 years. He moved into a flat owned by his best friend while he got on his feet...until best friend kicked him out as he too had been sleeping with the wife and she wasnt happy about him helping her ex. She took all his money, his kids wont speak to him as they sided with their mother, his younger brother sided with the ex wife and he has no friends left as the wife slept with them all.

The problem with karma, is it isn't true. Otherwise what have you done to deserve being cheated on?

Work on releasing your anger in a healthy way. Don't let it eat you up. Don't waste anymore of your life. Living well is the best revenge.

God I really hate the mis-use of "karma" as a noun.

The concept of karma is that you'll suffer the sins of a previous life in a future one. (Or vice versa.) It's not something that happens during your lifetime.

Anyway - most people cheat - most people get cheated on - most people don't have any consequences apart from possibly a relationship breakdown.

Also if you are a DM scumbag then you are inviting one whole lot of negative karma for your next incarnation!
