If you could change anything about your past, what would that be? and why?

If I could narrow it down to a dozen, I would be a happy man. The biggest is never living up to my potential!

Nothing. Because your life is a path. If you change anything in your past, things would not be as they are today. I have a decent life, so I wouldn't do anything differently. I did have a chance to stay and live in England when I was there for a summer, but I came back home. I had always wondered what would be different now if I had stayed.....but I don't regret not staying.

I don't think I necessarily have regrets per se...
I know there are choices that I made that I am not so proud of. However, I feel that things happen for a reason and we learn from our mistakes so to speak. Whether I made a mistake to help benefit myself later on in life or someone else it happened for a reason. Whatever doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
Don't have regrets, don't dwell on things you can't change. Accept them and move on and deal with the things that you have control over.

I wish I hadn't married my first husband. After we seperated, he never helped with child support, called, or even tried to see the kids. We had three children. He disappeared for over a year and took jobs that paid cash. none of his relatives knew where he was. I raised the children myself, but I had to get on food stamps and live in low-income housing, and get whatever job I could to bring in extra money for school clothes and supplies. I did the best I could, but the children suffered. They tell me now that they love me very much and appreciate everything I did for them. But, just the fact that I had to see them do without a dad and the dad didn't even care enough to check on them. I will regret having married him all my life because of what the kids went through.

I regret not going on a trip with my grandfather before he died. We were so very close during my childhood, and a week before he passed away ( I was 14 at the time - 16 years ago), he asked me to come see these new planes they got in at a local airbase. They were honoring him by putting his picture on two of them...but being the newly miserable teenager I was, told him no, and went out with my friends instead. I'd hurt his feelings and never got to talk to him again. I would give anything to take that back and go with him, it's bothered me for years.

leaving my husband. sometimes we think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. i met another man and was like a schoolgirl in love. Stupidly i gave up the most important things in my life. my husband of 25 years and my children they were 14 19 years of age at the time. I am alone now there's no turning back time. Date men but it is meaningless I will probably grow old and be alone. We don't know what we have sometimes until we lose it. Don't make my mistake. what i lost I can never get back.

In life nothing you do should be regretted, everything should be a life lesson, but if i could change anything it would be trhe time that i think i wasted in High School. I pass and all came out with my diploma but i honestlythink if i was more focused i would have done much better.

I regret meeting my current fiance of two years. Were on a break right now because of problems he's having. He was already married and has a daughter to this woman. Hes been going through custody battles and child support, its a complete mess. I love him but right now he's hurting me more than ever by taking out his mistakes on me. I wish i never meet him because i know things are going to turn out bad. I have a feeling were not going to be together anymore.

I regret not telling my mother how I felt before she died. My mother died July 9, 1998. I never got to tell her how I truly felt or how much she really meant to me. She died of cancer. It hit her extremely hard and fast. She fought for 1year but nothing was working. I was scared so I ran. I was a mother of 2 married and scared. I didn't help my mother much when she really needed me. I would stay in the bars instead of seeing her. She obviously was disappointed, but never said a word about it. I hope and pray everyday that she is proud of me. Proud of the great mother I am, the person I am today, but i will never know. Take it from me, you only have one mother, don't let her go with out telling her how much you love her everyday.

I had a period in my life where I chose to be um...loose on my morals. To this day I regret my actions. Thankfully I never caught anything, and I realize how lucky I got. I thank the heavens my husband can look past my decision's!

My second marriage. I did everything wrong (married a woman who turned out to be mentally ill). Went too fast, thinking with the wrong head, etc.
Wish I could take that back, but can't. I lost an excellent promotion opportunity because of her and will never have that chance again.
