I’ve been reading the newsletters and ebooks of Ellen Mogensen, of Heal Past Lives, for a while now, and this article of hers really resonated with what I’ve come to believe about why relationships fail. If you believe in karma and past lives, like I do, you’ll find it very informative.
Have you had a series of failed relationships? If so, know, karmically, these have all been successes.
Most people view relationships as having been either a success or a failure. From the standpoint of karma, all relationships are successes. Looking at them through a karmic eye, relationships are powerful teachers.
- Being in relationship always causes you to grow and learn more about life, love, and lovers.
- You get a “do over”: you do not have to make the same mistakes in your next relationship.
- If nothing else, you will have paid off past life karma and you will never ever have to repeat it.
To come into relationships with others in the first place, there had to be advance agreement at the highest levels between all the parties involved. How the relationships unfold depends upon how each partner uses their own free will to cocreate their interaction. The choices that each partner makes is what determines the success or failure of the relationship. The sum of those choices either strengthens the relationship or tears it apart.
If the relationship thrives, the success is due to the actions and efforts of both partners. If the relationship fails, the failure usually is the result of the individuals in it discovering that they are incompatible. When it fails, both partners have a hand in it, even though each will be quick to blame the other for the failure. The truth is that the partners could not reach agreement and, because they could not agree, they needed to go their separate ways.
So for those relationships that have failed, ask yourself these questions… and do better the next time:
- How did you contribute to the relationship failure? What could you have done better?
- What did you learn from this relationship failure? How can you do better next time?
- How did this relationship expand your capacity to love? How can you love better next time?
- Given the past, what do you want from a future relationship? How can it be better next time?
Now that is “good” karma!

‘If nothing else, you will have paid off past life karma and you will never ever have to repeat it.’
I completely agree with this thought, Priya. Again, a fabulous write-up. I believe in Karma and past life. Everything that happens in our lives has a reason or a purpose, including all the failed relationships. They are there to teach you something for sure. The key is not to become negative but to derive inspiration to act in all goodness and become a better human being.

[…] I believe that we’re all wounded souls, here on Earth to complete our karma and work on becoming a better human being. All relationships are our lessons, and people our teachers. Our relationships are mirrors that reveal our flaws, and the people in our lives are only reflections of the energy that we put out. […]
