Do you believe karma? Do you believe that good or bad behavior in relationships will reciprocate and karma will work?
Is karma real when it comes to relationships?

I wonder. I think there are similar ideas "You reap what you sow" things like that... but there are some people who do what seems like a lot, and they MIGHT get a small "slap on the wrist" if anything.
I knew a girl who cheated on a best friend with that friend's boyfriend. Happily admitted she'd do it again if she were ever given the chance. She married a guy similar to her - cheated on multiple girlfriends, rarely showed remorse, etc. Happy, healthy kids, has the relationship she thinks she wants... so very, very happy.I personally would be surprised if they weren't still at least occasionally cheating on each other. Type of people they were. But the dude makes good money. She makes good money. Kids have no ailments or issues... everything they do seems to come up smelling like a rose. I don't know whether or not to feel sorry for the kids (maybe they'll grow up decent people in spite of mom and dad), or they'll end up never seeing harsh consequences for their bad behavior, and they'll get away with everything (like mom and dad). I don't know. The adults will continue to leave a trail of destruction and lies, and people will be so enamored that they'll get away with all kinds of stuff.
But... maybe they lost some good friends on the way. Which is a little sad, whether or not they understand that or care. They hurt some good people. Whether or not they choose to see that, or care. Not having those friends may not mean much to them, it may not mean much in "the universe" or even "to God." But it's something tiny that has happened. It may not be "enough" in a vague "Newtonian" kind of concept of "equal and opposite reaction," but...
I was a great boyfriend. I haven't dated in YEARS. Most of the girls I dated were not great. They all have had multiple relationships, as badly as they often treated me. BUT - they did not improve in who they dated. They dated idiots who cheated because they craved drama. That's what they went for. In many ways, the fact that they've gotten into relationships right after the breakup, while I've been single for ages, doesn't feel like much "Karma." But in a way (or multiple ways), it is. They may think they got what they wanted overall, but didn't realize it came with its own set of problems. While I have my own, and it doesn't always seem "fair" - I guess that's my life.

No, not really.
People get away with things all the time.
Some actions are so bad though, that society brand them or they brand themselves out of guilt.
3 ways people get away with things:
- They're non-empathic and just brush thing off and move on. If rumors or legal records don't limit them then there's no consequences.
- They bury the past or deny it, making it easier to forget it even happened, with time it fades into the background.
- Society or human nature is biased in their favor so they are allowed and/or encouraged to stomp on others.
So there can be consequences but karma would imply a godlike set of rules upon the world that serves to balance good and bad actions. I don't believe in that.
But I do think that acting in everyones best interest with kindness, openness, understanding and to prioritize the truth in all things can increase the likelyhood of people treating you the same or offering you opporotunities you'd otherwise not have. But your grandmom may still be hit by a car tomorrow regardless. So stay safe.
Hmmm, not sure if things are just coincidence for me or karma hits my exes hard. Most of the bad guys that I dated in the past seem to received their “punishment” in a different way. Funny thing is, my nice exes mostly have a good life. I think I have dated like 3 assholes. One got into a terrible accident where he lost half of his vision. He can’t see properly now. Another narcissist got into a big fight with a group of mafia whom he lent a huge amount of money from, that he got his fist chopped by them. Third dude married to a woman, only to find out that she was actually pregnant by someone else, not him.

I believe in the potential for karma in everybody but not everybody has that potential activated while they are on earth. I also believe sometimes you have to work to bring about your karma, so even if you deserve something, you might have to earn it anyway.

I don't know what you mean by a "karma relationship" but in general I believe in karma as a simplistic thing. Like if you do good things, you're likely to meet other people who do good things, so receive good favors back, same if you do drugs, cheat, so on and so forth.
Pretty much the things you do become the environment you live in. Rather there's a next life environment involved in all that or whatever, don't know, don't care. I do know it affects your environment in this life from my own actions though. -
Yes , from my experiences it is real , I was married to a girl I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with , she ended up cheating on me and I filed for divorce I was devastated , make a long story short , Things turned for the best for me and things turned to shit for her , she has begged to get back together with me but I say Nope , Just recently I found out from my kids that her health is bad and she might be dying , I don’t wish her dead but it’s crazy how real Karma cuz her life pretty much went to shit after she choose to be selfish

It seems off balance to me. I've dated psychos, cheaters, and the occasional narcissist. One girl I was with used to throw punches at me and she ended up with a guy who is abusive, but he might just be like that because he doesn't put up with her like I did. I guess that could be karma, but that's just one person.
I have another ex that used me for money and sex. From the looks of it, she still gets everything she wants. I believe some people are just lucky and get away with anything. The universe seems unbalanced to me.
Liars and cheats seem to get away with so much more. Maybe those types of people know how to fool karma, and know the way to keep themselves from tipping the scale.

I do actually believe in karma... my now ex cheated on me with my best friend and after started to lose a lot of hair and now has the worst case of a rereading hairline I've ever seen, he stopped being this chill approachable guy and now looks more like a young generic discord moderator. Then my ex best friend, i thought she was happy and loving the perfect life with her biyfriend but some health issues crept up and she seems miserable, her friend group are full of people who are all for show and no one actually wants to listen to her struggles like i did when we were friends. I strongly believe karma exists for people who wrong you.

no because studies have shown that bullies have far more success romantic relationships than the victims who they bullied
one would think that bullies receive karma but it's the victims of bullying who are the destined losers from the moment they were bullied
-
Yes. I believe in karma in general, not just with relationships. Things will balance themselves out when it's time and that might take a while, but it will in the end. Doesn't mean I have to stick around to see it or keep tabs so I can feel vindicated. I just simply try to learn my lessons and move on

I don't know
Three days after my ex confessed to cheating on me: she got sick, totalled her car, lost her job and two months later got kicked out of her parent's house.
She later moved into her lover's parent's house. Then 6 months later she got knocked up and then that same year they got married.
Now 8 years later they have 3 kids and are living on their own, so you tell me.

i believe in God and He is the wisest beinh because of course He is God our Creator
we are all sinners but He has His way of teachinh us lessons for pur soul so i don't really believe in Karma. i believe that whatever we face and we have in a relationship with Jesus the goal is to help us become more holy... not perfect but a better condition for the soul. - 938 opinions shared on Religion & Spirituality topic.
I subscribe to the mechanism of "What goes around, comes around."
I also agree with the social philosopher Sarah Conner. "There is no fate but that we make for ourselves'.there is no driving force behind karma except us.

Karma totally exists. Whether it's some mystical force is doubtful though. It's more cause and effect
-
I believe on it.. But karma wasn't just bad, it is good too.. Most people incorporate it into negative ones, when they see bad stuff happening to person.. If it is good ones, people prefer to call it as blessings
-
Do you believe karma? Maybe a little.
Do you believe that good or bad behavior in relationships will reciprocate and karma will work? Not always, there are some sh! tty people that seem to always come up roses.
-
No. A person can adore a person and still be treated like cr@p
A Person can be an a$$hole and still breeze through their relationships.
I believe in Karma, but it doesn’t always make sense

karma is my boyfriend
Karma is a god
Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend
Karma's a relaxing thought -
It's like asking, do you believe that if you go running that your heart rate will increase? Karma is not Santa Claus. It is the law of cause and effect.

We'll see what the future holds in that regard. Currently to early for me to tell.
Leaning towards no at the moment. -
I'm not sure if you could call it karma but I've seen people get what they give eventually. So if they do good, they meet and KEEP good people and if they act gruesomely towards others then they won't be keeping any real people in the long run.

Karma isn't real. For evidence of this, just take a good look at the world around you.
