What are some examples of karma in relationships?

Here are a few examples I've seen or heard about, which really make you think about how actions and consequences are linked:

The Ghoster Gets Ghosted: This one's classic! Someone who has a habit of ghosting their dates, just disappearing without a word, suddenly finds themselves on the receiving end. They meet someone they really like, and boom, they get ghosted. It's like a taste of their own medicine and often a wake-up call about how their actions affect others.

The Cheater's Dilemma: Then there's the story of the serial cheater who finally falls head over heels for someone. They're totally committed this time, but guess what? Their partner cheats on them.

The Transformation of the Bully: I remember reading about someone who used to be really critical and demeaning to their partners. Fast forward a few years, they've gone through some personal growth and are now in a healthy relationship. But now, they find themselves with a partner who's critical of them. It's like karma showing them how their past behavior felt to others.

The Kindness Boomerang: On a positive note, there's the story of someone who was always supportive and understanding with their partners, even though they didn't receive the same treatment. So, it's like the universe rewarding them for their good heart.

It's not always immediate, and it's not always in the way we expect, but it seems like there's some kind of cosmic balance at play.

I was once tempted to let someone cheat on her partner trough sexting with me. The situation was not as black and white as you'd assume, you could argue that allowing her to do that was essential to her staying in her marriage and it was better for her family if she had an outlet.

So that was a whole moral conflict for me at a moment I was incredibly horny. It was as if the desire was pulling me in that direction while simultaniously another part of me was against it. Very much a devil angel situation. So I kept asking myself questions to debate it in my head. And eventually the conclusion was always the same, I was not going to do that to her partner since i'd hate myself if I switched roles with him.

Fast forward 6 months later and the things I learnt from that girl was the key to how I stood out from the crowd when a really nice girl was trying to see if men could figure her out as a fun game / test. I recognized her personality because me and that former friend had been discussing different female personality types. We got into active contact and I got an online friends with benefits out of it that basically replaced what I had given up with something much more positive. And not only that, we discovered how compatible we were and it turned into an amazing long distance relationship.

So while it may not have been the relationship karma you'd have expected part of me believes that whole relationship came out of good karma.

My first real girlfriend at 18 cheated on me with 2 of her ex’s. I thought at the time she would never know what it feels like to be cheated on because she was just too hot (she was an Abercrombie and Fitch model). Turns out she met her soulmate about 7 years later and was madly in love with him.

Not only did he knock her up, but ended up cheating on her - now, she has to see that person who cheated on her every weekend lol. Ironically, when I found out, it didn’t give me any emotional reaction, positive or negative. All I could think of was…Karma 😂

Every time my ex lied to me or did something bad behind my back. Everything in his life suddenly would fall apart (getting fired, bad grades, fights). And if he treated me well, he'd get good things also.

When he argues with me, walks away and almost immediately stubs his pinky toe 😏

Mt exwife cheated on me, we divorced, the guy she was cheating with got divorced, they never ended up together for very long, my life turned out great, she had a very lazy 2nd husband and pretty much struggled most of her life while I never had to worry about money or anything.
after a really long time she called me, I was unsure why but we have talked a bit, wish each other happy birthdays, Christmas etc.
I guess we could call it friends now, but that is it.
I have no desire to get back together.

I don't believe in karma. Good things happen to bad people. Bad things happen to good people. There are bad people that live their whole lives without anything negative happening to them and vice-versa.

I know. I wish it weren't the case because then it's discouraging. What's the point of being a good person then you know? Also, I think I know why a lot of things in life are like this. It's because a lot of other people enable it! If they didn't and they were more fair, maybe THEN the world would be more fair, but until then.. people are always going to be selfish and self-seeking, sometimes, unfortunately, in spite or irregardless of the pain of others or even if they are the cause of other's pain! .. Or maybe life isn't naturally fair also.

[HawkPerception]

It's the sad truth of reality, but life at its core is not built to be fair. Humans have strayed far from their roots and have lost sense of the reality. All you need is to look at nature. Look at animals, birds, reptiles, insects and all forms of life. Did a deer deserve to be killed randomly by a lion hunting it? All they did was eat plants and causes no harm to others. Did a child that was born with a severe disease do anything to deserve the endless pain they had before they died? What about people in the past that were born into slavery?

The truth is that for a long time people of the past had the ideology that "It's survival of the fittest." Because that's what it was plain and simple. The strong can always do what they want, whether that's physical strength or popularity when you're younger or financial wealth when you're older. Nowadays we live in a fantasy of pixie and fairy dust where everything needs to be fair and equal. But it will never be like that. That's not how life is.

An ex wanted to take a break, I said "you do that, it's over." She did it, and did fool around with another guy, regretted it, came back, wasn't welcomed back. Karma is great.

When someone cheats on you with their siblings husband, then later they end up having a kid with a guy that habitually cheats on them

Cheating women who monkey branch to another man getting cheated on and treated like crap, like a woman who cheats is low value.

[DextroShade]

There is no karma only chaos.

[TenderFantasy]

It truly feels that way definitely.
