One girl in particular that I can think of many years ago cheated on me. I never talked to her again. For that, I slept with two of her friends as well. Yes, I was vindictive and yes, she deserved it. I don't know where she ever went, but I remember her telling me a story about how her mom used to step out on her dad. I just figured this girl had a great role model in mom. I am no saint though, back in the day I did my share of dirt. You aren't your mistakes if you learn form them. I do not agree with once a cheater always a cheater. I would not cheat on my girl friend today. Have I in the past, yes. That doesn't define me as a cheater for life.

I doubt Karma taught her sh t. I'm pretty sure that I let her know how it felt when she saw my car parked overnight at one of her friends houses. I know that they never hung out again. Am I sorry for it, not really. Her friends didn't seem to care either.

If you're depending on "karma" to "teach" someone something, you're doing it wrong. Focus on having a better life for yourself and move on, rather than hoping other people have a worse life.

Right on. I don't buy into the notion of karma.

I've said it more than once. People wishing ill on someone in the name of "karma" is more revenge than anything.

Oh... I believe in Karma... but karma is an innocent member of the equation... siting around and wishing bad karma is revenge and by it's nature is not karma......

Not to get too linguistically technical.......

I can see that.

I've got better things to worry about than what happens to those who wronged me.

I think this is a repeat of a post I probably posted years ago-can't remember. Not really cheating but...

My first bf who was my first for everything, who was older, always thought I was just this little girl and never took me serious. So finally after two years I broke it off. He ended up marrying and having kids with someone else. Well when I was broken up with but still involved with the love of my life he came back to me. He left his wife and two kids for me realizing I was the one. I felt horrible but I had already moved on as it had been almost 5 years since we broke up. They never did get back together and to this day almost 22 years later he still tells me I'm the one.

Exactly. The title of this thread has always irritated me.

my ex-wife strayed and i accepted that fact that it was inevitable that she (or I) would seek relationship happiness elsewhere because our marriage was dysfunctional and we were no longer compatible. it was both our fault, we both had shortcomings, and we could have done better but we didn't. it takes two to tango OP.

and although in the last few days before signing divorce papers she wanted to reconcile, i had concluded at that point that if i truly loved her, i would let her go find her happiness elsewhere because she wasn't happy with me. i have since forgiven her, we become friends, and have discussed reconciling (her affair didn't work out as planned ... no surprise, often happens). sadly, the damage is done.

my approach? accept, forgive, and move on. despite how others may approach this, i'm a believer that you don't wish or hope for unfortunate circumstances to people you once loved. because, frankly, it doesn't add any value to who your are or your life. god bless and good luck in your recovery.

It didn't, apparently she is remarried with a kid and happy from what I have heard through the grape vine. Karma does not always come around.
