robert7x Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 First time i met my ex, i was listening to this song, pretty much all the way to her state to meet with her. Deep down inside, i felt like this is how my relationship with her is going to play out... And it pretty much did... Except for ending, as i don't know if she will get what's coming to her, but Frankly it doesn't really matter... Everything until the last part which i put in bold pretty much happened for me with her... It's so weird though. I mean i never liked these kind of songs, but that song was so stuck in my head that over time it became true. I just wanted to share this with you all... It's the song by Justin Timberlake "what goes around comes around" Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man You know I gave you the world You had me in the palm of your hand So why your love went away I just can't seem to understand Thought it was me and you babe Me and you until the end But I guess I was wrong Don't want to think about it Don't want to talk about it I'm just so sick about it Can't believe it's ending this way Just so confused about it Feeling the blues about it I just can't do without ya Tell me is this fair? Is this the way it's really going down? Is this how we say goodbye? Should've known better when you came around That you were gonna make me cry It's breaking my heart to watch you run around 'Cause I know that you're living a lie That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find... What goes around, goes around, goes around Comes all the way back around What goes around, goes around, goes around Comes all the way back around What goes around, goes around, goes around Comes all the way back around What goes around, goes around, goes around Comes all the way back around Now girl, I remember everything that you claimed You said that you were moving on now And maybe I should do the same Funny thing about that is I was ready to give you my name Thought it was me and you, babe And now, it's all just a shame And I guess I was wrong Don't want to think about it Don't want to talk about it I'm just so sick about it Can't believe it's ending this way Just so confused about it Feeling the blues about it I just can't do without ya Can you tell me is this fair? Is this the way things are going down? Is this how we say goodbye? Should've known better when you came around (should've known better that you were gonna make me cry) That you were going to make me cry Now it's breaking my heart to watch you run around 'Cause I know that you're living a lie That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find What goes around, goes around, goes around Comes all the way back around What goes around, goes around, goes around Comes all the way back around What goes around, goes around, goes around Comes all the way back around What goes around, goes around, goes around Comes all the way back around What goes around comes around Yeah What goes around comes around [ What Goes Around lyrics found on link removed ] You should know that What goes around comes around Yeah What goes around comes around You should know that Don't want to think about it (no) Don't want to talk about it I'm just so sick about it Can't believe it's ending this way Just so confused about it Feeling the blues about it (yeah) I just can't do without ya Tell me is this fair?

AnxiousGirl Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I listened to that song so much during my break up. Why not switch to "Cry Me a River"? Some day, if my ex ever comes crawling back, I hope I can turn around and tell HIM to cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it! Link to comment
samantha20 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I hope it's true, this world isn't very fair though. Just take pride in knowing that you're a good person, that's all you can do. Link to comment

mrmaximum Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 This is an argument that has been and will be debated for centuries. To be honest, I do believe in Karma and I have seen it work in a surprising number of cases, not just infidelity, but also in other issues in life. I too have had my ex come back to me once she realized she had made the wrong choice!! Don't get me wrong, I've seen innocent people also get into the sh*ts, but this can be said about anyone. Well, let me put it this way, I used to work with a guy who 'wasn't the nicest' and I will leave it at that. In the matter of two years he lost his standing at work, and had to replace the engine on his car.....twice. Just another reason I find for me to keep my nose clean. Link to comment
tylercdurden2004 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Depends what you mean by what goes around comes around. This is related to the idea of Karma in western culture however karma has little to do with some "guy" or a force watching over the person who committed the wrong and giving them their cumuppence. Karma is a step in the cyle of yearning I believe. Basically its the step that needs to be broken to stop habitual yearning. I cant remember the exact details but its something like that. Basically Karma is something that someone goes through each time. If they have a bad habit such as infidelity and dont break the repetitive cycle then they end up creating their own reality in a sense. At some point things become a self fulfilling prophecy. So if someone cheats because they believe others will cheat on them so they have to get the first shot in. Eventually that becomes a self fulfilling prophecy and eventually they do get cheated on. This is the same for the statements what goes around comes around. If someone doesnt change their behaviours they run the risk of realizing the self fulfilling prophecy. If a person can change the behaviours and break the cycle then they may never experience what they caused you to experience. That is why its so important to worry about the only person you can: YOURSELF. Link to comment
AnxiousGirl Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Very true. Karma's a b!tch. Right after our break up, my ex, who left me for another girl, got into an accident, had his car reposessed, and had his license suspended indefinitely. Sleep well. They'll get theirs in due time!

Beginningandend Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 The question I have is if it does, will it matter to you? Using my own relationship as an example, after 7 years of marriage my ex lied, deceived, and engaged in unfaithful acts. Supposing it does come back on her, either by realizing what she gave up or it happening to her that makes her return. Would I take her back? Absolutely not, but because she has tainted my view of her and betrayed my trust in pretty much the worst way you can. Not for the sake of karma. I wouldn't feel justified, honestly I'd pity her.

robert7x Posted January 30, 2008 Author Share Posted January 30, 2008 After my daily workout at gym and after a shower, ror some reason i just feel like... I don't know... I really don't care anymore... I just feel like "hope she's happy with the guy she's with now, even if it's not me". But i only feel like this after i workout and then take a shower... I have no idea why that is... Other times, mornings obviously, i just feel sad and i wish she gets the taste of her own medicine... Link to comment

But that girl is not in Virginia, so it can't be her. Link to comment
AnxiousGirl Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Maybe I should have worded my previous post a little differently...I NEVER wished anything bad to happen to my ex. There is a part of me that still loves and cares about him even though he treated me pretty badly during our break up. I just think that Karma caught up with him eventually after a whole string of negative events in his life. Link to comment
JeckyllNHyde Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Well.. that song made me cry lol. It had been a few months since we broke up and I was getting over it, almost fully done. I also listened to this song so much. I felt (like so many people) it spoke to me. I feel everyone gets what they deserve and yes, the exes too. It happens automaticly and that's why I don't waste time wishing them bad. Everyone gets what they deserve. Every action has a reaction. And I don't want to wish them bad then curse myself lol. (for wishing someone else bad... that's never good either. I finally met someone great and if the ex ever changes his mind tough luck I'm soooo over him. He lost his chance. He may get what he deserves though by staying with the girl he is with (who isn't the best catch from what I heard). Oh well... Link to comment
Daddy Bear Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 if you believe in Karma and you're hoping to see something terrible happen to someone, aren't you theoretically putting yourself at risk? Desire for vengeance, cosmic or otherwise: bad joojoo. I don't know about the historicity of Jesus or who actually came up with the line, "Forgive them, Father; they know not what they do," but it ain't a half-bad example to follow. And I'm going to do just that. Just as soon as I see my ex-wife get hers. Link to comment

Yes, I do think people get what they deserve but what about innocent people? For instance, there are sick and dying children in this world. Does a baby deserve to be dying of cancer because they deserved it? No way, certainly not. And, yes, I had to bring that factor up Jeckyll Link to comment

When I first broke up with my ex, I wished all sorts of bad things on her. In time however, I cared less and less. To be honest the way I see it, it isn't a case of wishing bad things on people, I just believe that you reap what you sow, it's out of my hands and not really my choice. Maybe if I said that I believe that Karma is going to get you anyway, I just want to see it and know about it. Well, I ran into her 5 years later and she had told me a few things, yes there was a small part of me that felt good that she wanted me back and that she should never have left me (and that she knew that she f__ked up) but to be honest, I felt sorry for her and especially for her kids. In time, it's amazing what you can get over. Link to comment

smallguy Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 After my stbx declared her unsurpassed love for another guy, leaving me with our 2 children two weeks before christmas. I openly told her that I hope he cheats on you and dumps you. For no other reason that I was feeling really vengeful because someone had stolen my future. I still do hope it all goes horribly wrong for her, because at the moment she is floating on air and behaving like a 15 yr old instead of 30. I know that this way of thinking is not really helping me move on, but nearly always, the instinctive human response is nearly always the wrong one; the one I get accused of being childish for. How can someone spend so much time in my life, claim to be my best friend, bear me two beautiful children, and then just leave for someone else and divorce proceedings started all within 6 weeks- I really am having trouble understanding rather than accepting. Above all else- she expects me to be 'adult' about it, meaning restrained, reserved, and not allowing me the space to have a natural human reaction. Link to comment
