I would have gotten a better education, and done it earlier in life. I would not have married as young as I did. i live vicariously through my daughter though, and she is getting that education and is passionate about it and is a happy young woman doing the things she loves. She has learned from some of my mistakes and has ideas of her own.

Is it possible that you can regret and not regret something at the same time? I regret meeting my ex boyfriend because of all of the emotional crap I went through but I do not regret knowing my ex because now I know what I don't want in a guy... if that makes any sense.
I also regret making the friends I made and screwing up in some college courses. That would have changed a lot of stuff for me.

My biggest regret is marrying my ex-husband. He was an abusive alcoholic (more verbally and mentally than physically) and he took my self-esteem and self-respect from me. In being married to him I lost a life time of being young and foolish because I had to be the responsible one in all things. If I could go back I never would have married him. I would have also spent more time with my grandfather and not let "THAT WOMAN" he married keep me from being close to him. Those are the 2 things that come to mind first but I'm sure there are others...........

I regret not being nicer to my half-brother when I was 9 and he visited me. (He lives in the Netherlands.) Because this past winter I went to visit him, ten years later, and for the first time in my life I experienced that incredible bond that siblings share. There is so much love that I can't believe I've been missing out on it all this time. Anyway, I just feel really guilty about being such a brat to him back then.

Believe it or not, I have absolutely no regrets in life.
I consider regret to be a useless emotion.
If you make a mistake, pick yourself up and learn from it (if possible) and move on with your life.
On the road of Life, regret is just useless baggage.

Not being able to rescue my mother from my abusive father before she died. As far as life choices, I don't regret anything. In a way I want to regret my first marriage, but if it wasn't for my ex-husband, I never would have met my current husband. I want to regret the way I allowed him to treat me, but if it wasn't for being abused, I'd never realize just how wonderful my husband is.

When I found out my husband had molested our daughters, I moved out at once. Then we quickly dissolved out marriage legally. I was such a wreck, I refused legal counsel and signed quit claim deeds on everything. I just wanted to be safely away from him with my girls. Now I realize that I gave up money that could have aided them in college etc. Dumb dumb dumb. Never be too scared to protect yourself legally.

Getting married or having kids. I thought I solved the problem by getting divorced, but the kids treat me just like he did. I am smart, have a great job. Im a cool mom. Im above average attractive - yet.. they all give me garbage all the time. Everyone puts all responsibility on me, want me to fix everything. My phone rings 24/7 because there is a problem, someone is arguing, they are mad at their dad.
If i didn;t have kids ot a man.. Id go to work, make and save lots of money, have nice things, and travel. peace. to the last poster - yes, it is over-rated. All I wanted was love...
