Is it Love or Lust?

Can some karmic relationships be romantic?

I have found that when karmic relationships become romantic, it is only to fulfill a physical need and possibly even an emotional need. If the person who comes into your life on a soul mate basis, but is purely to teach you something about yourself or you teach them, once that “need” is fulfilled, the two will part and go on to new relationships.

The karmic soul mate relationship is rarely sexual or romantic in nature, but if there is something to be learned or desired, it can happen and does happen. The relationship with this person, however, becomes a confused one. It’s a big difference between love and lust and lust is usually the reason “romance” is often misinterpreted for having a “need” fulfilled.

If you are in a karmic relationship and you know that that’s what it is and nothing more, do not confuse love with lust or you may end up more confused in the long run. Accept the relationship for what it is, but keep in mind the reasons why this relationship is not taken to the next level.

There will be signs as to why this is not taken to the next level such as commitment on one of the other’s part. Without the commitment, this relationship is definitely a karmic relationship and is meant to teach you something about yourself. Perhaps you are longing for a relationship and will settle for less and that’s what this is. However, this person is meant to come into your life for a reason. Figure it out, and then learn from it. Meanwhile, keep in mind that there will be someone out there for you to give you what you need with the commitment. You have to be patient and that’s the problem with most people. They look at a relationship as the real thing when they know in their heart, it’s not. Above all, don’t rush into anything without giving it your utmost thought. While karmic partners are necessary in your self-growth, they are not there to give you the intimacy you desire.

Hope this helps and good luck to you!
