What would you do if you found out that an ex who did you wrong, such as lied, cheated & tried to ruin your career never apologized is gravely ill?

I wouldn't be happy or sad because it's simply karma

I'd be happy karma came back

I'd be devastated yet understand it's karma

I recently had that experience. My ex-wife didn't cheat but she told lies to portray me as a villain in our divorce. She stole my possessions, gave them away, and delighted in doing me wrong. She died last year and I learned about it a few months ago.

I feel sad that her life has ended, I feel sad that she lived her life below her potential, and I feel sad that her life was so miserable that she enjoyed causing misery to others.

Sorry to hear that. Do you feel it was her karma or built up hatred that made her sick so she died? Or was this some freak accident?

I don’t wish harm on people I only would hope that they repented to a higher authority then myself because if something happens to that individual it’s not in my hands. Though, as someone with empathy I don’t enjoy someone else’s pain and suffering.

I choose not to scoop to that level I may not be standing by their bedside when they die but I’m not going to be rooting for it either. I know I’m not perfect but I try to make amends and feel bad when I hurt people.

Facts don't waste your energy be free yet I also understand if someone feels relieved

[Summeroflove]

True

Some people might call me an idiot for that but no matter how bad my divorce was (and it was brutal) I can not hate my ex. When I married him I actually loved him and although I could never be with him or even near him again I still wish him well.

[Asker]

Not idiotic at all. You're free

Karma is a funny thing. Sometimes it reminds you that someone who hurt you got their just dues.

[HawkPerception]

Couldn't care less. They'd already be dead to me.

Savage 🤣

[Subtle_Luminescence]

Not my problem. I wouldn't even want to know about an ex's situation. If I happen to know anyway, I'd be indifferent to it. They are gone from my life so are my negative and positive thoughts about them.

[nawtee_me]

If they were in fact gravely ill and dying then I would contact them and forgive them for what they had done. Forgiveness is not for the other person. Instead it is for the one doing the forgiving. It allows you to move on without the bondage that would bind you to the unforgiven. Hearing his name would no longer affect you. Thinking about him would no longer bring up anger for him. Forgiveness is for your mental health and not about him in any way….

I wouldn't do anything it's my ex that's somebody else's problem now

[Asker]

So you wouldn't feel happy nir sad if you heard because they're no longer your problem. Pretty much a "whatever" type feeling?

[Gwendoline]

I'm Catholic so probably pray for them and be glad that I'm not with them now.

The younger me would have relished it. But the older me has lived long enough to observe that not all sins go unpunished in this life. So I'd feel ambivalent about it.

[Godihateyou]

I would contact that person a d try to help them the best I could. My character is based on my actions alone.

[NordicInScandinavia]

Wouldn't give shits.
