Hi, I wanted to hear from other people who may have been in a situation like mine and whether they believe in karma.

Long story short - my ex was cheating on me, and left me for the other woman. This was over a year ago and I am now with someone new who I am head over heels for but when I see on social media that the two of them are still together and parading their relationship it still stings a bit. I also have to say he was an alcoholic and a drug addict and she used emotional blackmail such as slitting her wrists to get him to keep coming over to him. I know the relationship isn't a healthy one but for those of you who have been in a similar situation, what has been your experience? Do you believe in karma and do you think affairs are a good basis for a start of a relationship.

I know everyone says to me to stop looking at her social media and that I need to focus on me and my partner. It is not out of jealousy but merely curiosity, and for my ego to laugh at them when I thought they would come crashing down. But it looks from the outside that they are going strong and I just wish everyone knew how wrong he treated me and they way him and his new gf have started their relationship - it was based on a lie!!

There’s also the element of questioning yourselF such as ‘is she better than me? Is she prettier is she nicer?’ Which all come into play because if you’ve essentially been replaced by someone else you’re bound to feel sh*t.
