There's lots of things you could say!... (Shoot- I don't have my German dictionary handy... Do you know how to pronounce German?)

Es war deine Wahl, und deine Schuld.

It was your choice, and your fault.

Once a cheat, always a cheat.

Sobald ein Schwindler, immer ein Schwindler.

(I don't know if Schwindler applies to cheating in a relationship, though... the German word for unfaithful is "untreu," so you may want to change it a little...)

Once unfaithful, always unfaithful.

Sobald untreu, immer unteu.

I'm guessing that she's German... right? If she is, then she'll probably also know English- it's taught in school.

The saying you might well be looking for is: "what goes around, comes around!"

and the other is "as you sow, so shall you reap" (note the spelling here, OK?). Basically, this means that the way you treat other people is the same way you will be treated.

Answer 3

Well it can also be "History always repeats itself"

Or even better " u have turned a full circle"

or even simpler tit for tat

Answer 4

What comes around, goes around - -

If it happened before, it will probably happen again

Answer 5

How about, "Sucks to be you!"
