Karma

Just wanted to ask if cheating spouces ever get karma.

I was married, and my husband cheated on me when I was pregnant. He got with someone soon after, a couple of years he's still with her, happy. Somehow convinced her of me being a horrible person. I just feel like he's got away with everything, treating me so terribly but yet is able to treat her way better than he's treated me.

Just exhausted, and maybe it's not fair of me to wish karma on someone he's the children of my father. I'm still left with trauma and pstd from the way.hes treated me. He wasn't a good partner or a father to my kids but yet runs around with eveyrhing thinking he such a charming nice guy.

Bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people. Every single day. Life isn’t fair. I’m sorry he treated you so badly, would you really feel better if he was suffering too?

Have you had therapy to help you with your trauma and ptsd?

You’re unlikely to get the justice you want so trying to give him less of your headspace is the only way to begin to heal.

My best advice is put the trash out and move on. I've had people shit on me left, right and centre, you make a choice to either expand your energy on there future or your own.

Yes just wait for it it will catch him soon enough and bite him in the bum, sounds like my ex couldn’t care less now he’s a knob who 🤣

I do believe karma always gets people one way or another. She’ll eventually cheat and leave him so he knows how it feels. Or he’ll treat her the way he treated you further down the line and when he’s an old man he’ll be lonely and full of regret

Definitely I’ve seen karma happen was the woman he cheated on you with the woman he’s with now?

It's not really going to help your own symptoms to focus ill will on someone like this. Instead of wishing and hoping things for his life, what are you wishing and hoping for yours, and how come you're not focussing on that?

Your life is about you, not him. Your time is for you, not him. Your heart is for you, not him. He is nothing to do with you, and he can do what he wants, and all kinds of things will happen to him, good and bad, and none of it will be anything to do with you. Not to do with who you are or what you are or what you think he deserves.

He hurt you, and you need to heal. That's all that's happening here. The universe doesn't operate according to your needs, so you have to look out for them yourself. Do what you need, to heal yourself. If you believe in karma, and you're wishing ill on someone... well, then you're in trouble yourself, aren't you.

And many have seen it not happen, which suggests that rather than karma, it's the luck of the draw.

I’m going for a different slant on “karma”.

I think it’s that feeling inside you when you hear something horrible has happened to the person that wronged you. That sarcastic, un-empathic feeling of “it couldn’t have happened to a nicer person”. A private moment of “ha, that’ll teach you” before you move on with your life is understandable and maybe even normal. I think, anyway.

Whereas, if the same thing happened to a friend you’d be upset and feel compassion and want to help in some way.

If there is karma, then was it YOUR karma that had you get cheated on in the first place?
I don't believe in Karma and I think you just don't know how things really are between them also it's only been a couple of years, the road is long.
Focus on yourself comparison and looking back on the past does you no good.
