Regrets...

kikibaby · December 2009

I know we're all supposed to live without regrets, but I also know most of us probably have at least one.

What's something you regret?

sucrets4 · December 2009

That I stopped playing percussion intensely in HS b/c my teacher sucked. I should have been a perc major and a band teacher.

bbyckes · December 2009

Wasting my 21st birthday at a Carrow's restaurant with my idiot boyfriend who didn't even buy my breakfast. I also want to include the 3 years of my life that I wasted with him too and my resulting low self-esteem.

JK10910 · December 2009

Not taking care better care of my shoulder injury in high school so I could swim in college.

Nebb · December 2009

I regret things yeah but I have no desire to dwell on them or even think about them, because then it just depresses you or makes you upset/angry. No point.

ggmae · December 2009

I regret spending as much as we did on the wedding. I wanted something smaller and should have stuck with that, but caved to DH's wants and went bigger. We paid for almost all of it ourselves and were financially stressed for the months following. We are better now, but it'd be nice to still have some of that money in savings!

[Deleted User] · December 2009

Spending so much of my life being fat.

Spending so much of my life hating myself for being fat.

Marrying the biggest assshole ever born.

kikibaby · December 2009

I regret sleeping with this Australian guy in Italy- he had the most annoying laugh EVER. It still haunts me.

I also regret not moving after college to get the job I wanted. I wish I'd had the cojones.

wadingmoose · December 2009

I have no regrets.

ac_in_dc · December 2009

On one hand, I have a ton of regrets. But I don't really think about them. Like, I think maybe I should have gone to a difft. college or majored in something different, but my life would be so different if I had done that, so I don't really bother to regret it.

Most recently/immediately, I regret not being more engaged in my job.

laurenclaire1386 · December 2009

I regret spending three years with the loser coke addict (he lied about his drug use our entire relationship) when I could have had more time with one of his friends (now FI.)

TiDa2009 · December 2009

I regret letting myself gain so much weight and I regret everytime I gain another pount : S

I also regret not getting better grades in highschool to better open university/college opporunities for me.

I regret never meeting FI's dad and FI regrets it, too.

I have regrets, but I don't dwell on them. Just things that make me think "hmmm, if I had done that, this would be better now" every now and then.

SwedishChick2011 · December 2009

Yeah, I have regrets, but like Nebb said, there's no point in dwelling on them. You just have to learn from them and move on. Also, sometimes doing stupid things shapes someone into the person he or she becomes. For example, do I regret marrying my ex-husband? Sure. But, my separation and then divorce from him allowed me to go back to school, where I met my DH. So it kind of worked out anyway.

aimerzkd214 · December 2009

I wish I would have taken better care of my body in college and not let myslef gain so much weight, I have gained 50 punds since highschool and it is so hard to lose it now.

georgia_bride09 · December 2009

Every little thing I've done adds up to me being exactly who I am and where I am today, so I can't say I regret anything, because how do I know that if one little thing was changed, that it wouldn't have changed my entire life's path? Too deep, I know.

On the other hand, and I've said this before, I wish my "number" was smaller. If I knew I'd still end up with B, I'd take back every other person I've ever slept with. Every last one.

3plus · December 2009

I regret allowing myself to put on 40lbs over the last 2.5 years.

Other than that I have no regrets. All of my decisions and experiences are what have made me who I am today and I'm happy with that person.

kate51485 · December 2009

I regret quitting gymnastics when I was younger.

goheels05 · December 2009

I regret having boyfriends just to have a boyfriend when I was in high school and college. I dated some total lamewads and wasted a lot of time that could have better been spent with my friends or starting my career.

I regret leaving the Big 4 when I did. I'm glad I'm out now, but the last year I worked in industry was a total waste, and I could have spent that time at my old job getting reviewing and managing experience, and working for people who didn't make me want to drink bleach.

That is why you complete me.

squirrly · December 2009

I have some small ones, like mean things I said as a kid, particularly bad haircuts as a pre-teen, and not learning how to put on makeup as a teen (my mother doesn't wear any, didn't see the point, etc.) so that I wouldn't regret all the pictures taken of me from 1992 - 2000.

Big things, though, not really. Not that I haven't made some less than ideal choices, but more that those choices got me to where I am today, and it's a good place to be.

FutureMrsTR · December 2009

1. Leaving my mom in NC to move back to DE for a boyfriend (not FI). It completely broke her heart. Of course, I eventually did meet FI, so I don't know if I can entirely regret it.

2. After breaking up with that boyfriend of 6 years, I had a kind of promiscuous year. Probably not bad by some people's standards, I mean, I can still count them on one hand, but I was not safe about it and it was really out of character for me and I'd like to just forget the whole thing.

My current haircut.

sarabellam · December 2009

I regret not going to my grandfather's funeral. I lived 13+ hours away by car, was unemployed, and had only 1 car at the time, which my husband needed to get to work.

I regret not asking for alimony to reimburse my for half of my ex's Master's degree that I paid for. Would have paid for about half of my own Master's, and my student loans wouldn't be so high.

I don't, however, regret being married to the jerk. If I hadn't married him, I wouldn't have my 2 darling daughters.

cmhershey · December 2009

Not spending more time with my Pop-pop. I had this naive thought that he would be around forever if that makes any sense.

ggmae · December 2009

Georgia - That is one reason why I do not regret a past relationship I had with a d-bag. Yeah, it sucked at the time and yeah, I was really stupid about it but it did help me grow as a person. I know that when all was said and done, it was good for me to experience something like that and to see that I deserved much better.

georgia_bride09 · December 2009

vally, we're brothers from another mother. You are the Dwight to my Michael. Wait...

gg, same here, especially in the d-bag area. Not that I wouldn't still appreciate B for being the awesome husband that he is, but I appreciate him that much more knowing what other A-holes are out there that I could have (stupidly) ended up with.

salt78 · December 2009

I regret the camping trip I went on right after Thanksgiving in 2006. If I hadn't gone, I wouldn't have gotten my head injury and my memory and eyesight would probably both still be awesome.

THIS. Except I was only with my emotionally-abusive BF for 9 months. I also regret that he got my V-card. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cry.gif" border="0" alt="Cry" title="Cry" />

BecW2be · December 2009

I think if by "regrets" you mean something I wish I could change and do over, no. I don't have any, for the reasons GA stated. My life would be completely different if even the smallest of things could be done over, so I'll take this run of events and see how it shakes out.

Ok, I have one regret. I wish I'd never, ever owned or worn a pair of hammer pants. I blame my then-BFF for convincing me that two 12yr old white girls could pull thatshit off.

vallyhoo · December 2009

GA stop trying to out be as a man. We are sisters from another mister!
I am Pam and you are Angela.
