Hello all! I'm just curious to know what was the biggest decision you've had to face in your life. We all know that life throws them at us with every turn.
Have you ever made a monumental decision and then later regretted it? Are you happy with the decisions you've made this far? Do you feel confirmation that you've made the right one?I'm not meaning what color of socks you're going to wear tomorrow or what shampoo you need to buy:D:D...I'm talking of life-altering decisions.
My biggest one was staying in my marriage. We have had to deal with several huge marriage issues but we stuck to it and survived when many others would've just given up and walked away. I saw that there was something worth saving and we did it!
It's one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Love makes the world go 'round. I wish everyone could understand that and live by it. Fighting for those we love can cause other relationships to break but in my opinion it's their loss. Those who stick by you and understand your dicision are the ones worth keeping around. Sometimes the serious consequences are just worth it. :)

when i got pregnant, my mom and i had the biggest row in our life because she did not like the father of my child to be my husband. i stood up for my husband, risking my relationship with my mom in the process. but you know what? i think it's one of the best decisions i have ever made because right now, i feel that my mom thinks differently of my husband, they get along well, my mom adores her granddaughter, and my mom and I have managed to get back to the point where we used to be before all of this began. :)

Good for you! It's nice to see that there are people out there that can stick by the ones that they love. You definitely made the right decision. Take pride in that and you'll keep being happy. Sometimes it just takes time for parents to come around and see the same goodness that you see in your partner. :)

Choosing my boyfriend now and fighting for the love i have for him. Besides him 12 years older than me, he is also an ex of my cousin. My cousins made me choose if it's them or him, and I chose him because I love him so much. I didn't picked them because I think they are being so unfair to him and to me. Until now they are not speaking to me, and they are still mad at my decision. But I am happy for that decision I have made, my boyfriend is a wonderful guy, I just don't know why they are so mad at him. I know the story why they broke up, it's my cousin's fault because she was two timing him and he caught her red-handed when he saw the text on my cousin's phone. He left her right at that moment, and after more than a year we found one another. And I fell in love with him. And I know I made the right decision.

Well I think you made the right decision. I would think that the only reason she's upset with you is out of jealousy. You are able to make a happy, healthy relatinship work with this guy and that's something that she could NOT do.
Fights with families can be so petty sometimes. I'd bet that when she falls in love with the right guy, her attitude towards you will change. For me personally, I wouldn't mind if one of my oousins had a go with one my exes. It didn't work out between me and him for whatever reason but maybe it could between them.
