What is the one decision that you made that you will always regret?

Question

What is the one decision you have made that you will always regret and wish you can change? Mine was letting go of my first love, I will live to regret that the rest of my life, I lost my best friend and soul mate.

Answer 1

I actually, at this point and time, would not change anything,,, if i did, i would not be the person i am today,,,, who knows if things would of gone better or worse? would i have the child i have now? would she be as she is?
as you go threw life and mature and grow, you probably will feel the same way,,,, i am sure you will come to see there were reasons why you let that love go,,,,,,,, something, whether with them or you, or the two of you together, just wasnt right, otherwise you would of fought to hold on to it, not pushed it away

Answer 2

Breaking a friendship, because she missed my wedding.
She called the day after, and said, is your wedding next week, or did i miss it???
I was really, really rude, told her off, and hung up on her.

She had moved that weekend, and changed phone numbers.
She was a very good person, and a college friend of 2 yrs.
*i almost had her in my wedding party, but she said, she wasn't sure with the move coming up if she could fufill all her duties. BUT.......she would most certainly be at the wedding.

I really miss her.

I also regret........being so judgemental about my best friend from 2nd grades' boyfriends! I was very unsupportive.
I was immature, and didn't like the type of guys she dated, and let her know. It wasn't a consious thing i did.......it's how i was then. If I knew then what i know now, I would go back and accept her and her b/f's just the way they were. The 20 yr friendship dissolved prior to her wedding.

I wish both the girls well.
Friends are rare and few and fare between, good friends.
Husbands b/f's come and go.
Friends can be forever, or just pass shortly thru our lives.
Friends are the most valuable asset we have in this world,
who we love, how we love, and what we share with them.
it's all about trust, and building bridges, not walls.

ahhhhhhhhhhh wish i was that wise when i was younger and thought i knew everything

Answer 3

i am pretty young, so i have a lot a life ahead of me(hopefully) to do things that i regret...

but i would say that my biggest regret i have so far is not taking full advantage of my youth... not putting myself into things while i could... things that i really loved, but was scared of....
now it is too late and i feel that i could have been something better, and lived fuller from getting these experiences that would change the way that i look at the world...
but instead i am still afraid
and stuck inside myself

Answer 4

That is one of the deepest sorrows....I'm sorry you are feeling it.
We can not grasp the ways things work out in the big picture, please don't let the pain and fear overcome you. If you have loved that deeply you are on the right track. Although you focused the emotion on that one person...you now have the key to be a true expression of Divine LOVE. You CAN translate the knowledge of that love into the world through your life.

everything is for a reason.....more perfect than you could imagine......

Answer 5

When I was in 8th grade, I participated in a note to the queen of the clique, calling her names and telling her how much we hated her. She and I talked about it later, and although we were never friends, we could be friendly outside of school. A few months later, she wrote a note that listed all of the girls in our class, and put names by them - wannabe, pothead, geek, etc. (this was 25 years ago). Everyone was angry at her. A couple days later, she didn't show up at school and I heard a rumor that she was home sick because she'd tried to kill herself by drinking Drano. To this day I cannot remember who told me that. I thought about going to her house and talking to her, but decided not to because I didn't really believe the rumor. The next morning at school, it was announced that she had shot herself.

I will always regret not going to her house that day. Maybe nothing would have changed, but at least I'd know that I'd made the effort.

Answer 6

I regret having bought a house that even though we no longer own it the debt from it has still followed us. It's been a couple years since we sold it and we're still paying for it. I regret even more that we never reported the lenders for predatory lending practices. Live and Learn.

Answer 7

me too

we were in love and everyone was telling me to break up with him so i did and i regret it everyday because we were friends and soul mates and just perfect for each other

Answer 8

A couple years ago, I sent an e-mail to my older sister who is in college now. I was mad at her at the time and so I swore at her and called her names. She sent those e-mails to my parents and I got it biiig trouble for it. Not only did I get my computer taken away from me, but my sister and I used to be really close and now, even though we have made up with each other, it will never be the same between us. I miss her, and it's all because of a stupid couple of e-mails. :-(

Answer 9

My first marriage----I shudder to think I could have been so emotionally immature to have chosen a man who was obviously-so obviously-a bad man.

My father was a bad man and I wish I had had the emotional stability to not try and work that relationship out by marrying another bad man.

Answer 10

i did the same thing - i didn't think that deserved him and i got hooked up with, well let's just say i made the wrong choice. to this day, i die a little knowing that i let the best man walk away from me.
