Karma with relationships? Do you believe or not?

Have you ever dated someone and something bad happens? Say

A bad break up
He/she cheated on you
He/she lied to you about your feelings
He/she led you on
He/she had jealousy/trust issues that lead to bigger problems

Do you believe people get some short of "pay back" or karma event for these types of things? Such as cheating, leading you on, lieing, using you etc etc

I really don't know how I feel about it, but I'm curious to other peoples stories

Everytime this topic comes up, it's always the same way as you've worded this. It is insinuating that a person might have to pay for something done to you ... as if in your mind something bad is being done to you that needs retribution.

And it is always worded like that ... the people wanting to talk about karma want it to be validated to them that somewhere down the line, that person is going to pay for hurting you.



When the reality could actually be .... he was the payer to you, this is your punishment for a bad deed you did previously.

People don't want to talk about that, though ... oh no, nope.

because that might be too real

If something bad happens to me that's not warranted I don't assume its my "pay back" from a past misdeed. I'm not negative by nature. I look at adversity as a test of character and a lesson to be learned. I'm very aware of Karma but not in the vengeful sense of the word. I'm more focused on living my best life. But then again, I extraordinarily self-centered. When I personally feel I have been wronged I truly could care less about another person??s retribution. Their life to live is not my life to gain.

Well being a libra and living the past two year has been filled with the third law of motion.. whether it is revenge or plain ole lessons learned karma exists. The one who said the hurt may have been brought to you for something you may have done could also be true.. I am 29 yo and this is my first saturn exp and it is true that when you feel saturn is trying to tell you something it is doing it for a reason because at one point in our souls we did not do something correctly and it is a teaching exp..Once sifting through its is truly eye opening. I lied and cheated in all my previous relationship.. Upfront with my new guy who is a sag and now for once I met someone who actually captured my heart I am forever worrying he will cheat so therefore I have been sporting two huge pimples on my face... Karma...(they are ugly pimples..) I didnt listen to myself knowing that this relationship wouldnt work and now I have a double ear infection..

Hell to the yes. And Ten fold.

And on my end .....

I *fingers crossed* believe that Ive come full circle now in my Karma. And am trying to keep it that way. I want a clean slate going into the next part of my life.

Lot's of points 😛
I was just curious to how people feel. I really don't believe in karma in that sense,
as P-Angel said, this horrible break up situation I'm having could easily be from something I did from some other time ago.
Any "bad karma" event, that can be associated with revenge and payback etc, can just be another bad day.
Everyone has their good and their bad, sometimes it'll make them think "huh, I wonder how _____ felt when ______ happened to them", and sometimes not. It's all mind work to me.

Yeah, Karma is real. I believe the universe seeks balance, and where there is an imbalance it will rebalance the system..hence Karma. Also, the same forces that result in Karma, reward good deeds. I notice that the more I give to others, the more surprise gifts that come my way..even it I assist a random person with bus fair, I get an even bigger reward later.

I see it in a different light.

I have a lot of good luck but I consider myself a loving generous and helpful person. In fact I go out of my way to help where I can. I do it because I want to and I'm mindful of what is wrong. I feel blessed and lucky all the time...yes I think it is karma

On the other hand if someone is rotten I believe they get their just deserve, although you never see it. I just believe it happens...

One thing I am curious about .... if people believe that good or bad can/will happen to people based off of this karmetic energy ... then what's god for?

Karma is real real real and yes those evil mothertreetrunkers definitely get their due. You ever notice how the most evil people you know, in oher words (the people who deliberately do evil stuff to others) never seem to believe in Karma lol. I laugh at their stupidity to think they can do evil and get no evil in return for what they do.

It's not that karma might exist, or that people believe it exists ... it's that people use it as some form of punishment at their convenience.

It's possible that during this bad breakup, this person her/him self are doing equally bad things to the ex ... but, there isn't any accountibility for the self and it's own actions. The only focus is to want to stick it to the other for punishment purposes.

Same with religious users ... to say, "burn in hell" as an accusataion ... there's no reality in that, in of itself, that the person is actually worthy of hell .. it's merely used in the moment.

Instead of you trying to put what happened into a proper, healthy perspective in telling yourself that sometimes relationships aren't meant to be, and walk the fuck away with some dignity ... instead, you belittle your own self and dignity by hoping the other person gets kicked in the butt for disagreeing with the Highness (you), as if you're more. When in reality, if you have such thoughts, you are actually less.

And when I say "you" .. I mean all people.

To look at it like this, at least it's representing karma for what it is.

I'm talking about when people use it as a weapon for retribution .. that's so fucked up.

Sometimes people are just not right for us...or anyone else for that matter. As soon as you come to the conclusion then it is time to move on. A lot of crap goes down because people refuse to leave craptastically toxic relationships. Just leave before the term "karma" even comes into the picture.

words of reason


However, people can't quite distinguish the difference between positive or negative .... they believe that holding onto a dying relationship until it reaches an utterly bitter end is a good thing .. because look around, they do it all the time. They think it's love.


How sad
