I have plenty! The greatest mistake I have made was to selfishly have sex before marriage (before I got saved), and the consequance of that selfishness is that an innocent little boy has to battle through life knowing that his father does not care about him.
The Lord has forgiven me though, praise His wonderfully merciful Name, but I carry that with me as I see my son being sad because his daddy does not love him.

Yes too many to mention them all!
My biggest recent mistake was to date a Christian while I was not a Christian. I did become a Christian during our 2 and a half years together - though ironically (and probably much to his annoyance) he had nothing whatsoever to do with my coming to faith, and I gave him a good year of grief before this because I found some of his ideas about God preposterous. At the point where I became Christian he seemed to take massive pleasure in pointing out "my" sin because we were sleeping together and not married, and because I am divorced, and as a Christian I should not even be in another relationship. It was like he was waiting for me to believe so he could beat me about the head with it, whilst still successfully ignoring any sin he might have notched up along the way. Whilst I don't in a sense regret the relationship, because a lot of things about me and my life have changed for the better over that time, I regret that I ended up in such a mental battle over faith with him, because now I don't have a clue how to forgive him (he still doesn't think he did anything wrong - can you forgive someone who doesn't want it?) so I worry I will go to hell because I cannot forgive.

My last HUGE mistake was staying with my ex even though I didn't love him. I wasted my time, and his, and it hurt both of us. As a result, I lost my friendship with him, which I had always valued, and I did TERRIBLE things to him. I became an awful person.
I've made many smaller mistakes since that one, but that was my biggest.
Edit: I wonder if Mega's real name is Chris, because he sounds EXACTLY like my ex, lol, and the girl he's describing sounds like how I was!
I'm just glad that my ex is now happily married, with children. He finally found a woman good enough for him.

Yes, of course. However, I don't dwell on my past mistakes. I just learn from them. Like the Apostle Paul said in Philippians 3:13:
Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,

Not paying my debts on time, like college loans. They are now in collections and have caused a great deal of strife since I graduated. It's difficult to rent an apartment, purchase a vehicle, get a credit card, or even obtain a loan for anything else like buying a house, etc...

i make mistakes ever day.dont want to tell them but the greatest mistake one can do is to reject JESUS.
JESUS loves you.Have u recieved JESUS for the forgiveness of your sins?
John 3:16[kjv] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
so when we believe in JESUS we have eternal life.JESUS lived a sinless life and gave up his life as a sacrifice so we can be sin free. Ask JESUS to come into your heart and forgive ur sins and cleanse ur past with the blood JESUS shed on the cross.
With a simple prayer like above u can be saved.JESUS loves u and wants u to be saved.

Plenty of 'em. One common mistake was thinking I had so much of life figured out @18.

I fell in love with a girl who doesn't deserve that. I've done many things for her, it took much energy from me, and she ignores all my efforts. It took 4-5 years of my life and I'm still suffering. I can't forget her.
