Steps
Karmic Relationship Stages
-
You meet your soulmate and have an instant, intense connection. Whether you bump into your karmic soulmate on the street or introduce yourself to them at a party, the chemistry and electricity are immediate. As soon as you lock eyes, you know you were meant to meet them. [16] X Research source

You enter the honeymoon period, full of passion and growth. As you and your karmic soulmate get to know each other, you excitedly realize that you are mirrors of one another. You share similar dreams, passions, and most importantly, reflect each other’s strengths and weaknesses. [17] X Research source
- This period is full of introspection and growth. Seeing the strengths and weaknesses in each other helps you and your karmic soulmate develop.
-
Conflicts arise and the relationship grows turbulent. Eventually, reality sets in and your karmic soulmate’s flaws and negative behaviors come to light. You might have arguments about their jealousy and controllingness, break up, then get back together to do it all again. The cyclical nature of the fights can lead to you feeling insecure or dependent on the relationship. [18] X Research source
- During this stage is where your souls dredge up your past lives’ karma. The fights you have typically reflect the lessons you need to learn to resolve your karma.
-
You recognize the relationship is unhealthy. After experiencing the tumultuous ups and downs of the relationship, you’re able to self-reflect and realize it’s toxic. At this stage, you might ask how best to navigate the rest of the relationship. Is there still something to learn from your karmic soulmate? Or is the relationship no longer serving you? [19] X Research source
- Journal about all of the lessons you’ve learned to gain clarity about what your karmic soulmate is teaching you. This can help you determine whether to pursue the relationship further.
- Practicing grounding exercise like meditation and yoga can also help you gain clarity about the lessons you’ve learned and the relationship.
-
You decide to end the karmic relationship. Deciding to end the relationship is an incredibly difficult decision, but you now recognize that it wasn’t meant to last. You contain all of the lessons and knowledge you were meant to learn, so there’s no use sticking around in an unhealthy, toxic relationship. Your next step is to continue your growth, be your best self, and meet the love of your life. [20] X Research source
- Be clear, firm, and honest when you end the relationship so your partner doesn’t think they can change your mind.
- Give yourself time to grieve the relationship. Let yourself feel all of your emotions and then immerse yourself in a new hobby.
- When you’re feeling ready, practice gratitude for the relationship. Recognize how it helped you resolve your karmic imbalance and develop into a better person.
- Reader Poll: We asked 914 wikiHow readers who've ended karmic relationships, and 54% of them agreed that they felt sad because they still loved their partner despite the challenges. [Take Poll] So it’s okay if it takes a little while to heal and move on.
