KARMA! Is it real?

I don’t believe in Karma and I as well was told it doesn’t work in the way we think. I believe I. god he says vengeance is mine in 2 areas of the biblical text.

I know for every thing I’ve done in life I had a hard lesson learned and same for everyone else .

I don't truly believe in karma but I do believe past behavior is a great predictor of future behavior. People who nuke their marriage for a dopamine hit will do something similar in future relationships eventually. It's not really karma, just a leopard lacking the ability to change it's spots.

Yes and no.

Is she likely to ever have a normal relationship or find true happiness? Probably not.

Will you find satisfaction or feel vindicated in seeing how her life turned out without you? Probably not.

HistoricalRich280 · 2025-01-03T05:55:45+00:00

Absolutely

Not at all. God days vengeance is his though. I just trust he will take care of it all and it’s my job to be professional and indifferent to her.

My grandfather cheated, he got his. It just wasn't obvious as a kid but his mistress didn't take half as well of care of him as my grandmother would have in his final days.

My aunt, also getting hers but my uncle could've leveled up more to really rub it in if you ask me.

Me, I guarantee no one else better than me especially at 35 will commit to her. Sex, sure. All day. Commitment? Good luck. The committee of other miserable single women will "reassure" her she made the right move and she'll be blissfully unaware of her own punishment like a boiling frog. I truly believe that.

Overall, societal problem brought on by the internet. Give better advice than "don't get married". Thoroughly explain it to our youth and what it entails. What the odds are, etc. Life isn't a Disney movie and there is no punishment societal or legal for them to not follow their biological programming of hypergamy. That alone might land me in the misogyny bin, but I would definitely like to say more.

Man. As an admittedly shitty Buddhist, that just isn’t how karma works. It doesn’t come back to GET people. It just is what it is.

Movieman_Steve · 2025-01-03T03:02:38+00:00

I believe it exists, I believe it has possibly come back on my ex twice now with her hitting 2 deer in 3 mos with the same car.

EconomistVisible2767 · 2025-01-02T17:19:27+00:00

Not caring is probably better chicken soup for the soul.

With that said, there's nothing wrong with a bit of return pettiness. I don't pass along her car registration renewals. I just RTS. The post office won't forward. So it's very possible she's driving an unregistered car. Mwuhahahah.

Karma isn't real in the sense that is some supernatural force that brings balance and fairness to the universe.

What is real though are consequences. People who routinely make decisions that harm others tend to find themselves in a position where they have no one left to care about them at some point, because they have burned all those bridges. That said, if they are good at finding new supplies of attention and support, they are unlikely to ever learn.

darkerwithin · 2025-01-02T13:06:17+00:00

All choices have consequences. Poor choices have consequence. Take solace in this.

Life is not fair and the universe does not care about balancing interpersonal scales. Don't waste your time on what comes back to get her and what is fair. Worry about your future and rebuilding.

Dry-Archer-4277 · 2025-01-02T12:24:58+00:00

This is my take on Karma. People who are crying out for Karmaic justice never take into consideration their own sins.

Long-Review-1861 · 2025-01-02T10:26:43+00:00

Theres tons of "karma" stories all over reddit so there may be something to it.

I've been cheated on by 4 different women and every single one of them is living a better life than me. One was fucking a guy for months, moved him into my house and got violent and called the cops because i wasn't moving out fast enough. She is now married to the guy with 2 kids and a successful career.

Another was caught banging a married doctor in the back of an ambulance. She's now earning over 150k a year.

Another left me for another dude, she's now higher up at a multinational and more than doubled her salary. Found out from mutual friends and married the guy.

Whereas I'm a numb shell of myself stuck with trauma that i struggle every day with and still single.

None of them seemed to get any "karma" and looked like they got their happily ever after. So no, i don't personally believe in it. I must have been a real shit person in a past life for all I've been through with women 🤷

LeaderTrue4192 · 2025-01-02T09:32:42+00:00

Yes sir! My ex wanted divorce, cheated etc.

Now she lives in a ghetto neighbourhood + 40 minutes from me, she already got harrashed by the local hoodlums and spat on her clothes.

She works parttime in a local supermarket while she is well in in her mid 30s, no diploma`s, terrible english (she is chinese) does not speak the local language beside a few words as well.

She sure as shit does not look anyway near as good as in her 20s after birthing 3 boys and being mid 30s. I had a good run on her, now someone else can have the leftovers

(strech marks all over, floppy belly from 3 kids, permanently looking worn out in the face/tired, her pussy got all black and ugly.)

No prospect of making some decent money/job after NOT worked for majority of her life at all, so no work ethics ingrained in her body.

Her oldest son lives with me, and ignores her because she neglected him for years, and now the 2 other younger brothers starting to hate her more with each day, and they will end up living with me when they hit the age of 12 and by law they have the choice to live with me. That is 6 years from now for the middle one, i just need to have the longest breath and motivate the boys to make that decision by just being a awesome dad, its that simple.

She drinks lots of alcohol and is chainsmoking, exactly like her alcoholic mum, who is a deadbeat, it is litterly a carbon copy of her.

It will be a shit time for her. I just plow to my shit time now rebuilding life but i already have light in my tunnel..

I do not live in fantasy land thinking she will regret her decision because she is dumb as shit, but sure as shit her life is far worse then before, and that satisfied me after my life got thrown upside down, to me that is KARMA.

No-Asparagus6937 · 2025-01-02T06:51:56+00:00

well mine came back 6 months after, begging me to come back to our family. she cheated. her life went to s*it. i thought about going back but naaaah.. not willing to work on a relationship with someone that disrespected me so much. I dont believe in karma but I do know that people that cheat and destroy their marriages without reason are self destructive and this will get them. Some will not even acknowledge the destruction they did to themselves. They will blame everyone else.

probebeta · 2025-01-02T02:55:20+00:00

I don't believe much on that, but I do think that if there are bad habits it's just a matter of time before you get caught. Thieves, cheaters, liars, criminals, all get caught at some point. Those that don't are either too good or just a matter of luck they have not been caught yet.

DoughnutObjective806 · 2025-01-02T02:10:37+00:00

Like To bring justice for stuff in the world? No. In the context of divorce, there's a few things to realize. They'll get bored of the next guy too. Sure as the sun will rise. Regardless of if they stay with him.

The looks will fade too. I think once the looks fade, once the thrill of divorce (yes, women get a thrill out of it a lot of time) fades...their lives really don't end up a whole lot different than ours.

And who knows...maybe years and years from now, when theyre no longer a pretty face, getting all that attention, maybe it does dawn on them.

ABBucsfan · 2025-01-01T22:41:21+00:00

I think sometimes justice isn't in this lifetime. Sometimes it's after this life.

darealyst · 2025-01-01T21:28:13+00:00

Not at all.

Everyone keeps saying to me "she's going to wake up in 5 years and realize the mistake she's made and she's going to beg you to come back."

Sorry, I was married to her, I know her better than that. She has never been someone to regret a single decision no matter how wrong it turned out to be, nor is she intellectually capable of that level of introspection.

jimmycrackcode · 2025-01-01T21:23:23+00:00

No. I don’t believe in karma in this case.

But I do believe if she doesn’t do the hard work on herself she’ll end up cheating again since nothing changed. Possibly with a worse outcome (violent AP spouse). So I guess that’s kinda karma-ish.
