Something I learned the hard way… if you’re asking “is this karmic or twin flame” constantly, it’s probably karmic. My twin flame relationship has rough patches sure, but there’s this underlying peace to it even during separation. Even if we argue or have our moments there’s always that underlying feeling of love at the root of it.
With my karmic ex, everything was extreme highs and lows. The passion died after like 3 months but I kept trying to get that initial feeling back for another year. Never happened.
