My Biggest Regret Ever

Letting Him Corrupt Me

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:38:29 -0500

My biggest regret ever is letting him corrupt me. I turned my back on my old self and gave up all that I stood for. I lost my sense of morality. He influenced me to be a bad person and I never realized it until now.

Not Standing Up For Myself at Work

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:03:51 -0500

My biggest regret ever is not standing up for myself. I let my supervisor berate me in front of my coworkers. I just sat there and said nothing. Shortly after this incident I was fired. More than anything I want to travel back in time and stand up for myself and give my former supervisor a piece of my mind.

Falling in Love Too Hard Too Fast

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 09:38:36 -0500

My biggest regret ever is falling for a girl when I was younger. Giving her three years of my life, and treating her like a princess, all the while she lied and hid things from me.

Leaving My Fiance

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 09:22:38 -0500

My biggest regret ever is leaving my fiance. All I do is think about him and wish to be with him again. Now I’m in a rebound pointless relationship that I constantly want out of. I am done being afraid of marriage, and I no longer think age matters if you know they are the one.

Ignoring the Warning Signs

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 08:30:09 -0500

MY biggest regret ever is getting married to my wife when there were numerous small things about her that bothered me. I thought that they would go away with time, however they just became bigger obstacles. Now I have a daughter of 3 years with her and can’t bear to break my daughter’s heart with a divorce.

Never Meeting My Mother

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:43:00 -0500

My biggest regret ever is never meeting my mother. I’m 22 years old and have never even spoken to my mother. I grew up in foster care and then was adopted. When I turned 18 I tried to find my mother. Turns out she had died 10 years ago. Every day I live with this weird feeling … like a piece of me is missing. I’m not sure I’ll ever feel whole.

Losing Touch With Old Friends

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 21:53:45 -0500

My biggest regret ever is losing touch with old friends. There are a lot of people from my past that I miss. I often wonder what my good friends from the past and ex-lovers are up to. They have played a big role in who I am today, whether they realize it or not. I wish I had done a better job in keeping up with these people.

Falling So Hard

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 20:41:17 -0500

My biggest regret is falling so hard for you. We were so in love and I thought it would never end. And then you ended it. I made one person my entire life. Everything I wanted, needed, and cared about was you. I should not have lost myself in the process of falling in love with you. Now I’m broken.

Blowing Off One Who Loved Me

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:04:00 -0500

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.

Giving Up Too Easily

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:05:24 -0500

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.

Getting Pregnant at 16

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:50:02 -0500

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.

Not Spending Enough Time with My Kids

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:41:45 -0500

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.

Falling For You

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:43:12 -0500

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.

Not Cutting People Out of My Life

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 10:10:03 -0500

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.

Ruining My Marriage

Not Listening to My Mother

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 23:00:40 -0500

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.

Giving Up On My Business

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 19:56:54 -0500

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.
