This is just hypothical. I'm curious as to where OUR biggest regrets lie. Is it family, spouses, children, personal happiness, etc., etc.?

That I didn't marry my wife sooner and start our family...

hmmm...no regrets....everything what happened in my life - even the things which looked "bad" or "negative" in the first moment turned out to be really good. They were either turning points or I learned a lot, gathered experience and came out wiser and stronger.
So - I would not want to miss any of the"negative" experience. In fact I learned that "negative" and "positive" are judgments of my mind which is too little to see and recognize the big picture. Only later I could look back and say "ahhhh.....now that was in fact not bad but rather cool". So like - momentary pain was worth going through for it made me change things and act and take a new path in life which provided a lot of cool insight, fun and satisfaction.
So - no regrets. I guess this is also because I accept life as it comes and enjoy every minute of it - also when I make mistakes or go through pain. It is all part of this wonderful and way too short time on planet earth.
So...the only thing on deathbed maybe that I will say..."oh don't stop...can it go on for while longer - please?"

I'm preparing to finally file for divorce and leave my abusive husband after 12 years. I would regret having put up with this for so long and not experiencing freedom and the true unconditional love of a good man. Also, that my little children would be left with someone like him.

Biggest regret? That I wasn't able to help my kids get through the anger of my divorce....I would also regret the way I handles a lot of things over the last few years.

The one regret that I would have is that I didn't spend enough time with my father before he died. I would of liked to spend more time with him. Outside of that with all the mistakes and bad choices I made they helped me learn something and mold me into what I am today. I like the way that I am and that due to those mistakes I can relate to and help some people.
The only regret is that I waited to long to get close to my dad and let him close to me. Too much time waisted.

If I were to make a specific list, it might be far longer than I could bear to admit. Suffice it to say, my biggest regret will always be not having taken enough risks. Not having loved more, made love more, travelled more, fought more, made a fool of myself more often, and not having developed my talents more.

Love - husband - VERY HAPPY and exactly where I want to be.
Work - I have a great job - but I think that I would like to go to law school. I have been told that I missed my calling - plus the pay is lower than what I make right now!

I would say not having kids, but if I died today I wouldn't want to put them thru it.
So, other than that my biggest regret is not going to college. I am working on it now and saving for adult education classes, but seriously my biggest regret.

My biggest regret is not being a stronger and more assertive person to my parents and siblings, as a child.

That I hadn't met my husband sooner...cause he's my TRUE soul mate!!
I would say..that I didn't say I love you enough...BUT I'm ALWAYS saying it...to the point where people say..I know...but I lost my mom and even got to say good bye and that I love her...but I feel I COULD have said it more...so...everyone else...gets told a trillion times a day... I will NEVER regret that!

Not being a nicer person, too quick to anger, wish I'd spent more time with my kids instead of the evil laundry.
