My biggest regret ever is that I completely blew off one who was in love with me a few years ago because I was “in love” with someone else I had NO chance with. Now that I look back on it, it was a pretty dumb decision.

My biggest regret ever is giving up too easily. If I would have tried a little harder, been just a bit more persistent, I may have actually succeeded.

My biggest regret ever is getting pregnant at 16 years old. I love my son who is now 3, but I can’t lie — getting pregnant was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made and has pretty much ruined my life.

My biggest regret ever is not spending enough time with my kids during their first years. I was too caught up with work and spent countless hours at the office. I completely lost focus of what is truly important. Before I could blink my kids were already in elementary school. I completely missed out on how they got to that point. I was too occupied with money and trying to climb the corporate ladder. My advice to any new father out there is to slow life down and focus on family. Work does not define you. Your family does.

My biggest regret ever is falling in love with you. My best friend, of all people. I knew you didn’t want a girlfriend and that you didn’t feel the same way. Maybe having sex with you just made me feel the attachment and fall for you. You’ve got me so mixed up.

My biggest regret ever is not knowing when to cut people out of my life. I keep people in my life because I am afraid of being alone. But, they are not all there to help me, and most use me then discard me when I am of no more use to them.

My biggest regret ever is ruining my marriage. I regret letting my addiction ruin my marriage. I regret breaking the heart of my one true love.

My biggest regret ever is not listening to my mother. She discouraged me from dating my now ex-boyfriend; but I didn’t listen. He raped and abused me and now I’m stuck with dealing with this all alone. People are never who they appear.

My biggest regret ever is asking Angelica and her family (two little girls) to live with my family on the farm. Now they are all dead with this earthquake in Chile.

My biggest regret ever is giving up on my restaurant business. My business was going through extremely tough times. At the time it seemed like there was no other option but to close up shop. Looking back, I think I pulled the plug on my dream too early.

My biggest regret ever is … nothing! Every mistake I have made has been a lesson and I have grown from it.
