Some people regret things that happened in their lives, now this is your opportunity to at least in this discussion you have shared it to us and make it happen. We are not perfect, there are things that we could have done but we never did.

I think I would have expreienced life on my own before I got married. I went right from my parents house to living with some friends and then my boyfriend who is my husband. I always lived with someone and never myself. There have been times in my marriage that I thought I would leave,but honestly I don't go because I don't know if I could make it on my own.

I regret how I lost my virginity. It should have never been with a married man; I should have waited to be in love with someone and have the love recipricated. I should have studied more in high school and pushed myself. Now that I am pushing 40 with a teenage daughter, I know that I want more for her than I have excelled to become. I regret how long I stayed dating this one guy, it was over 8 years. He recently came into my life and boy was I ever blind. He is a total self absorbed jerk who thought he could waltz in and pick up where he left off over 7 years ago. Wasn't happening. Whew!!! Now I feel better.

There are times when I think about things that I had done in the past. Sometimes I also wonder and ask myself "what-ifs" questions. It's true that there are things that I should have done, but then, I had chosen to follow the other road. It's when I wanted to go back, change everything and wish that things had been somehow different. But it all leads me to realizing that even though I had made a mistake, I had been a better person. I had accepted everything that happened to me. There are no regrets, it's just a matter of acceptance. It is better to move forward and live life to its fullest. Leaving behind the past, while remembering the lessons I gained from it.

I regeat not paying as much attention in school as I should have. I was mean to kids in highschool, I wish i coudl take that back. I didn't apply myself to learning as much as I should have, either. They do say that hindsight is 20/20 though right?

Oh, this discussion made me think. It made me realize how many mistakes I have done in the past few years of my life. I have thought of so many times when I have been down, so many times problem occurred in my way. But somehow, I think I already have the answer to your question. I think I do not want to change anything. As in anything. Yes, it tempts me to have some things change. Change about failed relationships, wrong decisions I have done. But it made me realize that, maybe having those problems made me a stronger person. Those hardships that I have been through gave me a lesson, that molded me to be a better person. I thought, without those problems before, I would never know how to handle things this time. Afterall, I have been through all those problems, I have surpassed every trial in my life, and I am thankful that at least, I know what to do the next time it happens to my life. So, there. I would not want to change anything. :) I just saw things in a positive manner and thought that those things I have done before are meant to be done. Decisions that are wrongly made are tests, to teach me a lesson. Taught me how to be more careful with what I am dealing with. (--,) I do not regret anything that has happened to me in the past. Because if none of those things happened to me, I do not know where I would be right now.

I was going to say that I regretted marrying my ex husband, but then I realized that if I hadn't, I wouldn't have the three wonderful children I have or my four beautiful grandchildren. I don't have regrets, even the bad choices I made taught me valuable life lessons, and I am hopefully wiser because of them.
