Thank You. Revenge and Karma are two different concepts.

And, additionally, the OP's hope that Karma will "teach" one something is idealistic. people reap what they sow but are often blind to how they create their reality and paint themselves as the victim. Often the cheater creates bad outcomes again and again and never owns their bad behavior/bad outcome cycle and feels like a victim, while the cheated on spouse creates a better new life with an ethical person or all by themselves and is anything but a "victim". Revenge mentality is victim mentality.

My ex-husband cheated on me. His Karma was his cancer and a gay son. There is NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING HOMOSEXUAL!!!!!! However, my ex's thinking is such that because his son is homosexual it probably kills him and his mistress/wife! Meanwhile, I have the greatest husband and two wonderful children!

How insensitive, anybody can get cancer, and I bet you know even good people (like I do, some even have have passed away from it) who have so your "karma" is illogical . I hope you get cancer for saying that and ill be like you and say "that was her karma".

This is why I don't believe in karma.

I'm not sure I believe in karma because I've seen too much bad happen to good people. But I think it's only human nature to take a bit of perverse pleasure when something bad happens to someone who did bad things to you.

I believe revenge isn't yours to take because you always lose. Even if you think you won. I think someone even brought up the old saying about digging 2 graves. Too many people become lost themselves in a quest for revenge. It takes over their lives and uses up all the energy that should have been directed towards positive endeavors.

That is exactly right. The best revenge is living well. Well that, and not caring about past or the people in the past.

wife cheated on me after 15 years, the pain and betrayal i feel is unreal. We have three kids, two boys she has from a previous marriage which i've raised like they were my own and we have a daughter together. I love them all very much and kills me to have to be a part time dad. Never thought she would do this to me. Thought she loved me more than that. I still love her even though she cheated on but also know it's not repairable. How do i get over losing my soul mate after 15 years?
