I think we all have been in a situation before, so I want all mylotters experiences! :) for me I have, more than once and I completely felt so bad after words. This is what happened. Some years ago, me and my friend got into this argument about how i'm a better friend to her than she is to me. She pretty much never had my back when i needed her, but i was always there for her. Words got exchanged and I ended up telling her that a few people was picking on, laughing, and talking bad about her family. She then got really sad and she asked me who it was. I lied which is bad and told her that is was someone we went to high school with. But the truth is it was a two friends of the both of our that were talking about her family. I was there, it was suppose to be all fun and games, but i'm sure nobody want to hear that a few people were laughing at her family members, but anyway I felt bad about this all, i reacted out of frustration and regretted everything i said soon after. What about you, do you have a similar story?
p.s we are still friends and i haven't told her who was really talking about her family it would be too hard on her.

Yes I have! about 15 years ago a friend of mine was starting to date a woman from work. I had a bad crush on my friend and one night I left a not so nice phone message on his answering machine saying I didn't trust her and she was bad news. The next day my friend confronted me! It turned out she was staying at his place that night and she heard the message,too! I was in deep sh*t then! He told to apology to her! I felt bad and I did get up the courage to apologize to her! It took awhile for my friend to forgive me but he did! We are still friends. The woman he was dating back in the day ended up becoming his wife almost 9 years ago and they still are married! Since then I have not done anything close to this and never will! I learned my lesson that night!

That definitely sounds like something to regret. Sounds like something that happens in movies :) I was really interested in your story, didn't want it to end. So now look at the bright side, they are still together so lesson learned!

I have had this alot. 2-3 years ago i was camping with m friends and we all were drunk :D And i talked alot with one girl, she wasn't ugly but not my type. She asked me to walk with him to her tent and we walked. When we got to her tent she said that i have to wait for him, because she has to change clothes and then go back. I waited for him after about 2 mins she called me because she said she needs some help. i went in and she was all naked and wanted to have s*x with me and we both were very drunk. I saied her that i don't want to have s*x with you and she asked why? And i said her that she is hairy and went away. In morning when i saw her i remebered about last night and for my good she didn't remember it and i lied her that we were going to have s*x but she fell asleep and i went away :D
Thats my story and i hope she will not get to know about it anytime :D

haha, so you just proven two things to me with this store. A druken man does speak a sobber mind. And can remember a few things even after being drunk. I'm sure the women did remember what you said, If I was in her position I wouldn't forget it lol, that was harsh. So in my opinion, she played it off just as you did.

It certainly has happened to me before. I do sometimes say things that I will regret saying, as soon as I've finished saying it. Sometimes, I say things before I've stopped to think about what I was about to say and to whom I was going say it to. When this does happen, I will regret it and feel really stupid for saying it. Sometimes, it just happens that we fall into that type of situation whether we want to or not. We can just try to think about it first.

This happens to the best of us, we say things so fast, without much thought and it ends up coming out the wrong way. Or we often think out loud in which it seems like we are thinking in our heads, but yet say it out loud. Best thing to do is move on, and start new. Learning from our mistakes make us better people.

Yes, i had said something that i still regret even now.
I still remember when i was young, i don't like my father because i thought he treat me no good and too straight to me
There was one time i said something that really hurt him and i scolded him. But after that, i feel sad and regret to said that to him.
I still regret and mad for what i did even the incident already pass for 10 years. And now,i will think twice before i say something include my father.

This is a great experienced learned. In the mist of a heated argument or fight we often say things we really don't mean. So hopefully he already knew this. i don't think its healthy to beat yourself up about it. Lesson learned. You learn from your mistakes and try not to let it happen again. Thanks for sharing, and good luck with all!

its good that after all the said and done you were still friend with each other, i may suggest that to those who were laughing at your friend's family you can talk to them and stop them since all of you were her friend.
i remember way back, i have this plan of dumping this man, then one day me and my friend had a bonding and we get drunk then we talk about how to dump this man, then i regret saying that because a minute later my boyfriend came over at my house to my surprise then my friend told him that i don't love him anymore and i'm planning to dump him, i can't blame her because i really said what she told him, but i regret that it ended up very harsh on him

This is why we live by our mistakes and learn from them. I can somewhat relate to your story. And you reallly make some good points about my friend. The best thinks to do is learn and move on from our mistakes!

Just yesterday I met my 16year old son, as a joke I asked him for money. He said he din't have. Still joking I told him to go hustle around. Immediately I turned around and faced him, "just don't go around robing people, I can't bail you out", I said, trying to maintain my dignity. I was kicking myself when I left him. It happens, slip of a tounge they call it.

I've been in this position, where I've taken a joke a little to far and regreted it in the mist. There is nothing else we can do but live and learn from your mistakes, and learn to better compose ourselves next time.

All the time! I have a very bad habit of speaking before I think but in truth I do not regret too many things I say. I find that most often then not my first reaction is the most honest. My husbands family hates it because even when I do think before I speak they never hear anything they like..lol. I do not talk about them to each other though and do a lot of blowing off steam on here. They know I am on here and if they have a problem with it oh well. My own family all has the habit so we are all pretty understanding when it happens.

This happens, sometimes people don't realize what they have actually said until to left their mouths lol, some are quick to take it back, some really don't care. We live and learn is all i can say.
