Romantic karmaFollow

I recently made a comment to Debalic in another thread that breaking a relationship up was bad karma. Now I know we all have differing religious beliefs, but as far as karma is concerned, who believes that it exists, and who has experienced it in their romantice relationships? I usually find that my romantic karma is pretty rock-solid, and when I break a heart mine gets broken in return. Anyone else experience this?

More likely that when you do something bad you feel guilty about it, and not being punished doesn't sit well with you. So you start actively noticing any bad things that happen to you, and pin them on karma.

Observation bias.

I broke up with a girl who adored me and had fancies of us getting married because she bored me and I thought she was clingy and obsessed. So I became involved with a girl I thought was smart, interesting and had lots going on in her life. Which she did -- she just eventually decided she didn't need my clingy self around

I suppose you could call it karma if so inclined.

Exactly what I believe.

But I still hope my ex gets her karma returned.

Agreed. I remember in a past relationship where I hurt the guy and so my next couple of relationships seemed to be just that above craptastic. Looking back, it was the guilt.

But a karma question would only come up if you actually had a conscience. If someone doesn't have a conscience, anything bad that happenes is never their fault.

Let me get drunk and I'll get back to you.

On second thought, I may get drunk and forget all about you, but you should know I meant to respond.

Karma? No. I'm too much of a realist to believe in karma. Life is a series of comparative ups and downs. The downs are not the result of being a "bad person" in the past, but merely not as good as the ups by comparison.

I will always regret the heart that I broke so badly. I'd saw off my own right arm with a plastic knife to be able to take back ever even meeting that girl.

I think every relationship I've had since has been one form of penance or another. And I still owe a few thousand years worth.

I need therapy. Or a drink. Most likely both. I'm gonna start with the drink, cause I'll be damned if I'm lettin Haysoos into my life right now. He'd just turn and run.

Sooo.... THATs Why you are always pushing the dockworkers so hard, you sunova *****!

nah. I've never been a believer in karma. if it were true than the karma God is way overdue for quite a few overly nasty relationships I've seen a few people I know go through. Those that f[i][/i]ucked them over have yet to get their come uppance.

that's waht reincarnation is for.
