A karmic partner is someone with whom you feel a profound connection and chemistry. There was an instant connection. You clicked and it almost felt like you knew each other in another lifetime.
At the same time, however, your karmic partner inspires some of the most tremendous highs and lows you’ve ever experienced. And this is exactly what makes a karmic partner the worst relationship of your life: you will mistake the turbulence for passion and abandon yourself trying to make it work.
A karmic partnership can be almost addicting. You know you’re not good for each other and keep trying to call it quits and move on. And yet, you find it difficult to stay away from one another. You always come back together and the reunion feels like euphoria (even though the high never lasts very long).
And you will romanticize it all. The hurt. The pain. You will call the highs and lows a roller coaster, you will consider the instability an adventure. You will convince yourself that you can’t go on without them.
So you bend until you break. You forget who you are. You get lost in the rubble of the arguments, the disagreements, the miscommunications. You beg them to change; they beg you to change. Neither of you does. They remind you of everything you lack. You remind them of all the ways they fall short. You bring out the worst in each other. Rinse and repeat.
And it will be exhausting. And it will never be worth it. Because here’s the brutal truth about a karmic partner: It is not sustainable and it will not last. It is not healthy. It is codependency.
The bravest, most loving thing you can do for both yourself and your karmic partner is to walk away, no matter how much it hurts. Because it’s always more painful to be with the wrong person than it is to be alone. Always.
Let your karmic partner go because you deserve healthy love.
