Now with my current ex, she cheated on me as well. We truly tried to make it work after her affair, but it just didn’t. She basically used me for money, cheated on me during my lowest time and now, we have somewhat split up. I say somewhat because we are still living together until I get my financial feet under me after years of her using me. I’m guessing she’ll get a dose of Karma coming her way.
I am sorry for that, sounds like you've been a rough road. I hope everything is ok with you now....

Directly...no...but when people make certain choices those can be reflected later.

I also think sometimes we think what's done "to us" is worse than when we are the do-ers, because we feel we have good reason, but the other person didn't.

So for example, if I were to go on a date with a guy and he never called me again, and I was in tears, I'd think, oh...what an awful person, karma's going to bite him. BUT I might do the same...go on a date, feel uncomfortable, not know how to outright state I didn't want to see the man again, and then just not call him. Would I then "deserve" the same thing to happen to me? It's likely I wouldn't think so...

Karma in Buddhism and Hinduism is considerably more complicated than the guilt feelings you are dealing with. It is about volitional action, the formation of character and on and on.

Skip, the Made in the USA New Age stuff, and just get on with living your life by whatever positive standards you may have been taught.

I sure as hell do. I've seen it happen. Last year. This chick was lying to me about seeing someone else, I got proof, we argued about it for days. We stopped talking. A month later, he breaks up with her, he immediately goes back to the ex(which leads me to believe he'd already been seeing her), then she tried to go back to me. I ignored her.

That's Karma. ��

I didn't cheat or anything. At first, I just chose to leave and didn't want to tell him the truth(I thought it was too cruel to tell him that). Then he couldn't stop harassing me with messages and saying that he really wanted to come back. In the end, I couldn't help it and tell him what I really felt during the past (almost) 6 years---that I never loved him. He was my first and I didn't really understand what was LOVE., of course, he was furious and accused me of wasting his time etc.

Now I am in a similar position with another guy, or boy let's say, since he's younger. We are not really together, we just used to send loads of messages to each other every day and went out twice. Now he calls it quit out of a sudden and he never gives me a real reason(all I can do is guessing whether I said something bad and he misunderstood it). I don't want to spam him with my message so I stop as well.

However, I have been kept thinking about it : maybe it's karma. Yes this guy might have somebody else, maybe he suddenly realized that he doesn't like me at all (from what i have observed, I think he didn't have a real relationship before) but he just doesn't want to tell me the truth like I did to my ex. The only fortunate thing is we only know each other for 7 months.

I guess this kind of thinking is pretty silly for most of you. I just want to know....do you believe in the karmic relationship? Have you ever had any experience of it?
It's simple: everybody plays the fool. There's no exception to the rule.

Your intentions were never to be cruel. You told him the truth. That’s not a bad thing.
