If there is a memory you can erase, which one would it be?

Everybody makes mistakes, and unfortunately some mistakes can cause bad memories that just linger and haunt you for a lifetime. really depressing. I'm always haunted by the mistake of dumping my ex who eventually had the chance to find "someone better" and it wasn't after i dumped him that i realized I had someone really great, almost perfect. I think of it all the time even up to this second and even though he's married and i'm married and i often wish that i could just erase all the memories and move on with my life.
what about you?

my biggest memory i would erase would be marrying my ex husband. i absolutely cannot stand him or the way he is with our boys. i would so go back in time and never would have met him if possible, although i would definitely keep my boys. LOL! God bless

well that would mean our experience is the total opposite, you regret marrying someone and i regret not marrying someone, LOL....
but when i think of it, there is always something to gain from the mistakes you make, just like what navy said. for you it would be your boys and for me it would be the life lesson. Indeed God works in a mysterious way.

Yes, sometimes I wish I could erase some memories. But the thing is, with out them we would never learn and we would likely repeat the same thing over again.
I dated this one guy who was wonderful, I came first no matter what. I was pregnant with my son who is now 7 and his father ditched me. This guy thought that cause I was prego that I was taken. Needless to say we started dating and life was wonderful. Unfortunately, I got transfered from CT to VA and we tried the long distance relationship, but that didn't work. We hoped that we could reunite later, which we eventually did, over 6 years later. I have been married for over 6 years now, but I still think of him to this day. I have a wonderful husband who in July we will have our 2nd daughter together.
Just a curve ball life throws at you.

hi navy_vet81, i agree with you. my worst mistake i've told you about was actually the one that changed me forever. I really do feel that i have learned a lot from that experience and i've become a much better and more appreciative person. but still, every time i think about it there's always that feeling of regret i can't get rid of and it often just ruins my mood. don't you just wish you can learn things without feeling any regret or sadness? it's unrealistic, i know.. but i just often wish that.
