Girl, i'm not forty in any direction, but I can tell you that there isn't any way to handle regrets like that. ive lost people, and people have lost me, and theres going to be a lot more of that. But losing things means you got to have things, so I want to keep losing things, since it means i get things, you know? And you made horrible choices? that's fine, they won't be the last. but you probably made good choises to, right? and even if you didn't then you still can make good choices, right? Im sorry you lost someone asnd there isn't anything i can tell you to make that suck less. let it suck, don't try to stop it. when it sucks enough you'll be ready for the people that you'll meet, the people you need and who will need you.

It depends on what the regret is. If it is something I can correct, I try to correct it. However, I also try not to beat myself up too much about things I can't change. Nobody gets a practice run in life, so you're going to screw up a lot.
As far as relationships go, I don't really have many regrets. I see all relationships as having a beginning and an end. So, I don't get too broken up about them ending. I try to hold on to the middle part and feel lucky for being able to be with the person for a time.

You will have many regrets. Everyday is a new begining and you will find New love and meaning and you will learn that many things happpen for good reason. There is a good country song called unanswered prayers theres a lot of truth to it. Some of the things you regret today may be blessings tomorrow.

You have already started the process of getting through your situation,by admitting that it was your fault,what you have to do now is,search your inner self and try and focus on the thing or things that caused you to treat your mate the way you did.Do not worry about past blonders,everyone has something that if was made public,would cause them shame.Life is a learning process,we were place in a questioning environment,and through just living in it makes all of us vulnerable to the pitfalls of living.Just acknowledge your mistakes,apologize,make amends,and try not to repeat the same mistakes.Peace!!

Unless you are able to back up, find this girl and tell her the only choice you have is to move on.
learn from your mistakes in the hopes that you won't do that again.
I'm 56 years old and lived a life that should have caused my death or jail.
I'm now a Licensed and Ordained Christian Pastor, happily married for 34 years.
Thing can change.

Seek first the Kingdom of God, and trust in him, your regret should be that you don't have a close relationship with Christ, without which you will have a 50% chance of loosing every love you ever find.

You just have to move on. I had the right girl and I thought that the grass was greener on the other side of the fence. I was very wrong. Live and learn. School is out, but never over.

You try and learn from them. You realize you can't go back and relive it, you can only move forward and do the best you can with the current and the future and try not to repeat the same mistakes. Usually we do repeat the same relationship mistakes, old habits die hard, make a conscience effort not to.

i agree with the first answer ... you have to see what you have taken from it , what you have learned ... then it is never wasted and never a mistake
ok im not in my 40s but nearly there ... but i have had many wonderful lessons in the past
and i dont believe love is ever lost , i know i still love many people from my past , even those that have hurt me ... but the love is still there and i see the good that came from it also

View them as learning opportunities. Learn the hard lessons and avoid making the same mistakes in the future.
