First of all apologies if it's in the wrong section please move if appropriate. Also I name changed.
Does anyone else really regret how/when they lost their virginity? I lost mine aged 15 and a half, and it's only really now at age 28 that I am regretting it massively. I wasn't even in a relationship with the guy, he'd been my crush since I was a tween, I thought I was so "in love" with him that when he started paying me attention and texting, I just got carried away as the giddy teen that I was. It wasn't forced or anything and I knew it was going to happen. I made sure we took precautions so I wasn't totally irresponsible. It wasn't an unpleasant experience but it definitely was not special, looking back he didn't care for me or respect me at ALL (he was 19). And I wasn't ready emotionally. We then met up regularly for a few months, he just used me for sex really.
I am now in the most amazing, perfect, secure relationship the best I've ever had (sorry, un-mumsnet mush) and I think it's this that's made me realise how relationships really should be and what I had back then was awful. I had no self-respect
I know we can't change the past, but I so wish I could go back and just wait until I had the right person even if that had meant I was in my twenties before I did it.
Can anyone help me put this into perspective or reassure me I'm not the only one who stuffed up like this? All my friends had perfect first-times and some are even still with that partner.
