My biggest regret ever is getting the abortion when I knew how much I didn’t want to. I’m sure they would have been beautiful, twins.

My biggest regret ever is when I began to cut myself. No one around me thinks I could be that self-destructive. Some girl in class saw some marks on my arm and had the audacity to laugh and ask, “you cut yourself?” I simply replied “yeah, it was an accident.”

My biggest regret ever is leaving my friends alone when I knew what they were capable of. When I was fourteen my two best friends tried to kill themselves. I knew that the one was cutting herself, and I knew the other had a messed up life - she moved to Cape Town after being kicked out of her moms house in the UK, and she’d been drinking since she was eight, smoking since she was ten, and doing drugs since twelve. We were hectic kids. After a night of drinking and partying - everyone left, and it was the three of us left. I got in the shower, and when I got out, I couldn’t find them anywhere. I found them in the other bathroom in the house, half dead. Barely breathing. Lying in their own blood. Luckily they survived, but I should have known.

My biggest regret ever is getting caught by your mom in your room. We both clearly knew we weren’t allowed to be home alone. When your mom caught us, I thought I was going to lose you forever and now our relationship is going to suffer for one stupid mistake.

My biggest regret ever is falling in love with him, even though I knew in my heart he could absolutely not love me back. He ruined me.

My biggest regret ever is walking out on her without any explanation. We would have had a wonderful life together. But I was so self-absorbed that I couldn’t bring myself to fathom the concept of marriage. So I moved out. After six happy years together. Broke her heart. And can never get back or fix what we had. Or could have had. Now I live in a bedsit. Alone.

My biggest regret ever is marrying after knowing you for less than 15 days. Everything happened so fast. I just had gotten out of my first marriage. I wanted show my ex that I can move on without him. Now, I’m married to you and I regret it. I wish I stayed single. We bought a home together and now we have debt together, all within three months of marriage. I can’t divorce you and just leave because I’m pregnant. I’m trying to make it work. But I don’t love you,and you don’t love me. We are stuck together. We must try to make the best of a bad situation.

My biggest regret ever was not talking you out of getting that abortion. I know you regret that choice now. You’re like a sister to me. As young as I was, I would’ve gladly adopted and raised her as my own. I’m sorry, I failed you when you needed me the most. [Female, 26]
