In response to may adultery questions, people say that Karma will catch up with them. I have NEVER seen that happen.Those people do what they want and live happy lives (while their exes and kids suffer). I don't beleive that what goes around comes around. Do you?

The closest I have seen this happen is when a friend said that the husband should just get over it, his wife left him for his best friend from college. Then he wanted a shoulder to cry on. But to the actual couple? No.

No one can give an example of where it actually happened. As I said, not true, Devil's in charge.

Not to minimize the pain and suffering caused by infidelity, but payback is not what karma is all about. Unfortunately, in the west the term 'karma' has been turned into a synonym for 'what goes around, comes around' and this is an extreme oversimplification.
Karma is much more complex than the simple idea as you state in your question.
Karma is the result of thought, speech, or action and can be manifest as positive, negative or neutral. Karma means "action", and in simple terms is a chain of events arising from certain causes and conditions, which due to other causes and conditions remain in continual state of progression.
By acting (thinking, speaking, doing) in a positive manner, one creates or rather promotes positive karma onto other beings, which then further those positive actions on and on - creating loving kindness, genuine compassion, tolerance, non-judgment, many other good qualities.
Likewise negative karma can manifest in the same way.
This is just a brief summary of karma and hopefully it helps to give you a beginning. Actions can be the result of many related and unrelated causes and conditions, and karma can manifest in relation to the significance of those causes and conditions, as well. For example, intention counts - if one were to cause harm to another being by accident or by lack of intent it does not carry the same weight as with maliciousness.

Karma is the most perfect of laws,because its universal. no one is above it. no one gets the proverbial "Get out of Jail Free" card. in this system.ill rather believe in this than in a "jealous God" I believe in God though!
Its so obvious that even the most stupidest of beings can understand it. simply " you reap what you sow" (in other words "what goes around, comes around)
Hmmm do go a little deeper is a simple question to yourself! If you treat people badly they will usually respond likely the same. If you love, then love is likely returned. Is that Karma? Good Question!
Karma is what you make it to be, it's that simple!

Well, how about this for an answer. My ex cheated on me several times over a 2 year period. I smartened up and left. He and I both went on ot other relationships and remarried. His new wife left him after cheating for 4 months with another woman. She left him and moved in with the other woman. I think that is karma.....

Another word for Karma is consequences. We all experience consequences for any action and decision we make. Consequences, like Karma, are neither "good" or "bad." They just are.
The best way to avoid "bad" consequences is to live the kind of life you truly desire....whatever that is. When you do this, your life will be good. How others experience their reaction to what you choose to do is their responsibility to name it either "good" or "bad."
Karma is a neutral term. Too many make it a negative.

Oh, I beg to differ. I can give you dozens of examples and case studies of couples and individuals I've counseled about this very thing.
I work as a marriage/family counselor and it ALWAYS comes back to get them. Rarely if ever do the adulterer and the homewrecker go on to lead happy lives.
The one who cheated more often than not realizes the grass was not greener, but now has the misfortune of trying to get his/her betrayed spouse to give another chance. It doesn't always work. And the one he or she cheated with has to go through either the same thing, or deal with being dumped again.
Cheating never leads to happiness, period.

Good question and good point u made!
i've also spent endless hours thinking about it.
My first love, was a cheat and didn't treat me right. I stayed and eventually left when i was fed up, and given a lot thought into my friend's advice that I deserve somebody better, and the notion that there's a lot of fish in the sea.
It seemed to be the best decision at that time, only that i suffered more broken relationships and heartache with each one the guy i met, while my EX always got the girl who would love him unconditionally and stuck with him in long terms relationships (even if he kept cheating on the side).
I was sometimes furious at God, why doesn't my ex end up alone? Why does he seem to be having the time of his life while others put up with his crap?.??

karma don't always come around the same way you sent it. Just because you cheated don't mean someone will cheat on you. It may be worse. Maybe dude will catch the gays or maybe you will never find love. I don't know but I do believe

Yes. I believe it. Do you think that people who are cheating are actually HAPPY? Believe me, they are miserable. I was "the other woman" years ago and ended up catching an awful STD that has no cure. How's that for karma!!!
