I dont have many but getting married (and divorced) too young really stuffed me up for a while. I guess I wish it just hadnt happened at all. But I guess you live and learn huh?

first let me show sympathy to you. there was no need to regret. instead you should feel happy because you have come out of that traumatic experience you had in your married life. in my case i often feel regret when my decisions proved unintelligent and cause economic loss and when i have to loose mental peace.i feel i am an intelligent and regret when some times i had to behave like a fool and when i realize, it causes agony to me.

I have a few. I guess the major one is that I didn't go to college. Another major one was giving my husband (now deceased) an ultimatum when we were dating after 5 years about getting married. We were married for 31 years and it wasn't a happy marriage nor was it a happy home life for my children. I should have divorced him. Now that I'm in a relationship with a caring, loving man, I see what I missed.

Like you - I got married (then divorced) young.
But I don't regret it - because I learned alot about myself and life. There were alot of good things that came out of it.
The one regret I do have is applying such blind belief in religion. I lost alot of youthful experiences that I wish I had been 'awake' enough to cash in on. You never get your youth back and if you try to do all that stuff when your older, you just come out looking sad and pathetic.
Youth is only enjoyed at that stage in life - but it does make me regret being so passionate about something that turned out to be a fantasy, nothing more.
Ah well - starting about 7 years ago, I took hold of my life and have enjoyed every moment and will continue to do so. No regrets from now on!

Strangely it would probably be doing the A levels I did! I think if I'd made a decision earlier to do something else other than sciences I might have got better grades, been less stressed in college, maybe gone to a better university, maybe done something different with my life. It feels like that was a crossroads...but well in the multiverse somewhere theres a me who made that decision and nows a high flying, self confident superwoman!! Or maybe not!

Graduating from 1 career instead of two! because I'm 22 I'm working I'm already a professional, so.. what the hell do I do now?????
I guess I regret being "a good girl" instead of bad. I wish I made more mistakes.. I don't know.. but what the hell I guess I just have to keep going on and try to make stuff happen...

It's a good thing you came out of it. Mine is not about marriage but I wish I'd been serious about personal development in my teens! I would be far, I'm 30 now and I guess I haven't done badly. I have 2 websites and I have completed my 1st novel.

Don't every regret what happens in your life. There had to be a reason why you went through this,you had to learn,by life itself.
Married to young is always a problem,but know one could tell you that,could they? Sounds like to me you lead with your heart,and it just didn't work out.Stay true to yourself,and all will be fine.

My biggest regret is that I married before I finished my degree, and that I only had one child. I did ultimately finish my degree, and am now working on my PhD, but it made my life very difficult for a while.

Like some others, too many to count. But as you say, live and learn, and soldier on.
