She was worried about her ex-husband’s new wife, until she found out she was sending all his money to Kenya
After TikToker Josephine (@josephinesgarden) ended her long-term abusive marriage with her ex-husband, she knew that he would immediately search for a partner seeking immigration status.
Her ex-husband was obsessed with the reality TV series, 90 Day Fiancé. Every time they went to parties, he also spent a lot of time chatting with a guy who had gone to the Philippines to get his wife.
“He just loved this idea because not only did he love the idea of marriage as an institution, but then you add immigration to it, and you have another layer of control, so I knew that’s what he was going to do,” said Josephine.
It wasn’t at all a surprise to her when he started dating a woman from Kenya three weeks later. She quickly moved in with him, and they got married.
At first, Josephine was concerned, thinking that the woman might be vulnerable and possibly isolated in a new country.
But then, she found out from a lawyer that the woman was sending all of her ex-husband’s money back to Kenya. She was also twice his size and was older than him, which meant that she could physically overpower him and had gained wisdom throughout her years of life.
That’s how Josephine realized that this woman was her ex’s karma.
“I am so grateful for her because at first, I was really worried about her, but then I discovered that she was actually hurting him,” said Josephine.
“So, girl, you did me such a big favor. And thank you for being his karma. You’re the strong woman that I couldn’t be.”
In the comments section, several TikTok users shared similar dynamics they had witnessed themselves.
“My father married a Filipino less than half his age. He’s built many properties over there, including a brand-new beachfront resort with the intention of retiring there eventually. He just retired/sold his businesses, and she turns around and tells him that they have to wait at least until both kids graduate high school. The man is pushing 70. Love me a good dose of karma,” commented one user.
“I met my ex-husband and abuser in the U.S. a few months after I moved. I’m from the Philippines, and everyone thought I am there for his money/immigration reasons. He has been abusive to his previous partners (all Americans), but no one actually fought him and tried to get justice the way that I did. I was the first person that put records in his name. I am definitely his karma,” shared another.
“Thinking that we’re all ‘submissive,’ not realizing that it may be that exact reason why they should never play with us. Our ancestors have been silenced enough, and we are done with that,” wrote a third.
