to ask what's your biggest regret in life?

[EagledWingsofRefuge]

That and have you regretted more things you didn't do or did do?

I have a difficult decision to make and I'm wondering if I make the wrong choice if it'll turn out to be my biggest regret in life. It just made me wonder, what's everyone else's regrets? And are they over things you regret doing or regret not doing?

As for regrets? Not a single one, every decision (even the wrong ones) have led me to where I am now. A different choice may have led me somewhere else, or to be someone else

To me, 'regret' means 'something I would do differently, if I could'.

On that basis, I would have had lots more boyfriends before settling down with my long-term partner.

Being more daring.

Lived in same area, worked for same company, stayed in mediocre relationships.

Wish I had spread my wings.

Probably not too late.

I've reported @simon50 for calling a poster a cunt, he's vile

simon yesterday you were troll hunting and your post got deleted.

Today you are picking on posters and hurling abuse at them.
It seems you don't know how to behave amongst people.

@simon50

Abuse isn't a competition, what is wrong with you?

I've reported Simon for being abusive and goady.

I regret a few things big and small but when that horrible 'regretty' feeling comes over me I try and remember that I chose and done things that were right for me and my life and the time.

My biggest regret is dropping out of Uni in the first year. Although I'm doing ok in my career, having a degree would give me a lot more options.

Being me.

I regret being violent to someone when i had a drinking problem more than once.

It was abhorrent and I'll never drink again.

I regret settling for a relationship as I craved love and attention. I finally learned I deserved more but it was too late

hateis The people on this thread aren't necessarily wallowing in their regrets, they're just talking about them in answer to a question. Talking about something doesn't mean you're always thinking about it.

simon This is a thread about regrets. Of course it's going to be full of people talking about their regrets

Giving up my career, and moving to Oz.

We've moved back to the Uk now, but I can't pick up where I left off unfortunately, and have had to take a pay cut and do something boring.

Come to think of it, it does point to marriage, as my Dh was the instigator of the above.

I'm still bitter 🍋

I regret wasting 3 years of my life on my mentally abusive dick of an ex. However if i hadnt been with him i wouldnt have ds who is the best thing thats ever happened to me

@Ivedalegirl ouch! Much love to you!

I regret getting a premolar out, which led to a master clusterfuck. I've so far spent 5k to fix it.

I regret letting the one go...

But, life is what it is. Things happen that we regret

I regret leaving a lovely guy to get back with my lying and cheating ex who continued to cheat on me and break my heart. I had REALLY strong feelings for the other guy but still loved my ex and we had a child together

A casual sexual liaison that I really didn't care about and caused me harm and not drawing a line on my last relationship earlier. Oh and getting fat and thin over and over again throughout my adult life. On it again.

But I'm not wasting my 'here and now' on regrets.

Its never too late to travel. I didn't so much when I was younger but from my mid 40s I have been to lots of places - on my own and sometimes with my kids. Its been fantastic.

Many regrets, all to do with careers and men! But I have three wonderful children, all grown up now, so if I went back and changed anything, would I have these children?

Make the best decisions you can, and make peace with them. No point in regrets.

Ivydalegirl This.

and (((())))

Lots of things.

I love my DS so much but I had him way too young, though he gave me the push to do my best in my education so I can provide him. I did very well in my GCSE's, A levels and Degree.

Staying with my ex abusive partner for so long ! I should of dumped him when I was pregnant with DS but I didn't want to be a statistic (single teenage mum,no dad on the scene) I also wanted that fairytale family unit (wasn't going to happen with him ). Even though I had DS at such a young age, I was smart enough not to give up everything for this man... I was this close.

It took me 2 years to get over being sad when DS was diagnosed with SEN. I was depressed, didn't want to go out. I wish I enjoyed DS then, I was also warped in my whole abusive relationship. I wish I was like "OK, so he has this type of SEN, you know what, we are going to make the best of it and it's us against the world". Instead I didn't see a way out of this dark cloud.Now I'm making the most of it, we have been on fantastic holidays, we have lots of adventures.

Being concerned what others thought of me, comparing my life to others (this heightened when DS was diagnosed with having special needs). Now I think, who the cares ? It's a waste of time ! I've realised that everyone has their own journey in life, their experiences.. I need to focus on enriching my own life, instead of what others are doing .
