Have you heard about karma for cheaters? Apparently, it’s a popular belief in the dating world that if you’re unfaithful to someone, you’re going to get the same behavior in return in the future. Put in another way, as the Katy Perry song “Swish Swish” goes, “Karma’s not a liar, she keeps receipts.” While there’s no science to karma specifically for cheaters, it’s interesting to see how it might pan out for someone — especially if you’ve just been the victim of a nasty cheater. If you’re the one who’s been cheating, brace yourself – here’s how might affect the future relationships of cheaters.
1. You realize what you’ve lost when it’s too late.
Ah yes, this is a common experience. Although someone might seem to cheat and move on from the person in what seems to be an unaffected way, dumping all their drama on whoever they cheated on, in the future (maybe weeks, months, or years to come), they’ll look back and think, “Damn, what did I do?” Of course, by then it’ll be too late but at least they’ll be feeling regret and guilt. They can’t run from those feelings forever.
2. You end up with a cheater.
When someone mentions cheaters facing karma, chances are this is the scenario that comes to mind: the cheater moves on and starts dating someone who cheats on them. Classic karma! Interestingly, there can be some truth to this, like if a cheater leaves his girlfriend for a woman who’s cheating on her boyfriend to be with him. The cheater is already being betrayed, in a way. It’s such a bad start to a relationship. Don’t build happiness on other people’s trauma.
3. Your past can wreck your future relationship.
Some people believe the saying, “Once a cheat, always a cheat.” When your new partner asks you if you’ve ever cheated on an ex and you offload about how crappy you were, there’s no doubt that they’re going to wonder if you’re going to do the same thing to them. It might even put them off you, which means you could have blown a potentially amazing relationship.

5. You’re carrying your baggage into a new relationship.
If you cheated on an ex because you have commitment issues or you’re insecure, and you haven’t dealt with them, you’re just going to bring them into your new relationship where they could cause serious problems, if not the end of it. It’s kinda like you’re creating your own bad karma.
6. You’re going to experience what you’ve done.
If you’ve cheated on someone, it doesn’t mean someone else will cheat on you. Karma isn’t always a tit-for-tat situation. But, you’re going to experience your bad actions in a different way. You might be lied to or betrayed by someone you love, so you’ll get to experience what you’ve done to others and it will hurt like hell. It’s all about receiving the same energy that you’ve put out into the universe. Make it good energy.
7. You’re going to feel like a bad girlfriend.
Even if it seems like a cheater hasn’t had cheaters karma served to them on a platter, like if they’re having the time of their life on their IG profile, looks can be deceiving. After treating people so badly, there’s no doubt that they’re going to feel like a really nasty person – and that’s sure to harm their relationships in some way.
8. You’ll lose more than a good relationship.
Cheating on someone and seeing your behavior destroy a relationship right in front of your eyes isn’t the end of the story. Your behavior probably affected other people, like your family members who feel sad about not seeing your partner at Christmas, your mutual friends who love both you and your ex, and maybe even your kids who look up to you as an example. Heck, cheating could even cost you your career in some cases. It’s clear to see that cheating can have massive consequences and lingering negative effects for all people involved.
9. You might get a nasty std.
Although many STDs don’t have to be a big deal as they’re not the end of your life or your dating life, getting a nasty STD can be seen as dating karma by some people, like if your ex only finds out that you cheated on them when they discover the STD you gave them. Yikes! This isn’t just bad karma for cheaters, it could ruin someone else’s life.
10. You have to see your ex thriving.
One of the most painful things about cheating on someone and breaking their heart refers to the old saying, “Happiness is the best revenge.” It really is, and it can be seen as karma too. You might see how happy and healthy your ex is and wonder what could’ve been if you’d remained faithful to them. It hurts like hell, especially because you’re the only one to blame for what happened.
11. You could end up alone and unhappy.
Once a cheat, always a cheat? Really? Maybe, if some research is to be believed. A study found that people who cheated on their partners had three times the odds of doing it again in their next relationship. Being a serial cheater really means breaking hearts as you move through life, which is sure to leave you alone, unhappy, and filled with regrets. You should seriously change your ways to avoid the bad karma that comes to cheaters (which you’ve brought onto yourself) so you don’t waste your precious time and become miserable.
