I married a girl I only knew for 3 weeks.
I'd been married for 10 years, and my wife left me and our two kids (ages 5 and 8) for a guy she met at work. The divorce was final in October, and that December I started dating this new girl who was 8 years younger than me, with a kid of her own and a boyfriend she'd recently broken up with.
We were married for 9 months and, while the first month or two were perfect bliss, the next 7 were a rollercoaster through hell for me and my kids. When she left the following September (on my birthday, no less), it was at once the best and worst thing that ever happened to me.
I finally married again, and we've been together for 15 years, and raised my two and her one kid, all three of which turned out great.
The way it changed my life? I learned that the most important thing in a relationship is that you really "like" each other. A love that grows from a friendship like that is one in which both partners pull together as a team, where everyone gets what they need when they need it, and neither is out for him- or herself. I am truly happy, and I would never have arrived at this point without making that stupid, stupid mistake.

my biggest mistake was getting pregnant because i had sex. I wish i could take it all back because i now have a child i have to raise all on my own. I love her to death but it is very hard trying to finish school, be a mom, support her, and work all at the same time. So that is something i wish i caould change but can't this mistake changed my life forever.

Most mistakes are not easily undone and a fair amount change the course of your life, but the biggest mistake of all would be to hold on to regret.

Marrying who I did. It wasn't anything that couldn't be undone though, I found a way to undo that mistake. People are only human and are going to make mistakes. Happens to the best of us.

I believe we make mistakes for a reason..but there are a few I would change about myself if I could..I would have spent more time trying to comfort my sister during her drug addiction instead of talking about how horrible she was,and I would have loved her more,but I lost her last August..it was horrible time in my life...I would have told my ex-boyfriend it wasn't his fault that he was not perfect and that I loved him just the same,but I lost him December of last year..I would have done alot of things differ ant..But I believe things still happen for a reason..

Getting married when I was 21 to my first wife. I totally wasted 10 years of my life trying to make her happy when I could have been partying and having a good time.

The biggest was when I cheated on my now ex-husband. We were having problems and I seeked emotional affection (along with one physical encounter) from another man. I should've been straight with my husband with my feelings about our marriage instead of straying. My cheating didn't cause us to split up, but it did cause a bigger wall between us. It created more problems than what we had before (obviously). Things were never the same.

I didn't respond when a guy I liked hinted that he liked me to, because I was ticked of with him. He never made advances again, and now I'm married to the wrong person.

I accepted less than I deserve from the man I'm with. Now... I'm stuck and lonely in a full house. It's miserable
