How did karma get your ex husband?

Hey ladies!

My husband wants us to seperate and for me to move out of the family home with our DS so he can have the house to himself . I refused, so he has resulted to bullying.

Just want to read some stories of karma getting your EX's back to make me feel better knowing that one day he'll get what he deserves for being a bully.

I will always be sad at what was lost.
I am sad that he cannot see what a waste it is not to live life to the full, taking the opportunities life and -potential friends- people give you and how much joy there is in giving and being respectful (reciprocation).

I suppose that is the karma, living a half life where women are instantly replaceable, not having friends and only being able to talk in limited safe subjects with his children.

You can only focus on yourself and on living the best and most integrity filled life you can. Everything else flows from that, I think.

OP, you are in the eye of the storm so don't judge your emotions on how life is now. Fear is probadly your overwhelming emotion but over time certainty over your house, income etc will make you feel more secure.

I am further down the line and time really does heal but it takes time, 2-3 years is not unreasonable. That doesn't mean you won't be happy during that time but it just takes time to get to the "not bothered" stage. I think healing starts from when divorce and financials are all concluded, rather than physical separation date.

I had the most vindictive Ex H who shocked everyone by his aggressive actions to me. Financially he did well out of the divorce and he is now open about his relationship with OW but as my older DC tell me he is likely to be a lonely rich old man. His friends are superficial and in the event of illness he would have no one genuinely there.

Ex lied and schemed throughout the separation and tried to smear me but over time the truth has come out. It always does. Use his bullying to realise it's not you, it is his character and if he does this to the mother of his child then he will do this to anyone else he gets involved with.

Ex also has a glittering and well paid career (it is out there in the public so I can't avoid it) but behind the headlines is the reality he cancels seeing his DC to have that career.
Rather than Karma, there is definitely consequences to actions.

My advice is to always act within your values, trust your solicitor to get a good deal and even if he comes out financially on top know that your legacy will be based on your values.

E dysfunction often arrives/was part of the reason for the mid-life crisis/new car/younger girlfriend.

So when they are with the younger lover which initially perked them up (so to speak). It often gets worse with age, so that’s Karma or expensive (divorce) viagra Grin
