Blueberry7691 Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Does anyone have any regrets about their relationship? Do you regret the entire relationship? Anything you would change if you could? I'm not sure what I regret but I'm thinking...
cerridwen Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 I regret holding on so long. I learned and experience some good from the relationship. But in the end, its expiration date had long passed.
WTRanger Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 If you had just lost the Super Bowl or World Series, would you regret trying out for high school football (or baseball) or would you look back and realize that it was a life experience that you'll never forget and you are a better person because of it? I've never regretted any of my relationships. They happened because they were supposed to happen. It was the path that my life was supposed to take. So rather than fight that river, I've finally learned to just flow along with it. But, realistically, try sticking to the present. The past is just that, and not one of us can predict the future. All we've got is the present and it's the only time that you can directly affect change.
BlindRage Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 I regret how pathetic I acted after she dumped me. I regret not being the one who dumped her sooner considering she was always cheating on me. I regret introducing her to my family. Thats what I regret.

dng Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 I regret giving her a second chance 5 years ago. I should have called it quits back then and I certainly tried to but she promised she'd change and after months of being pursued by that HOT girl I caved. I'm so vain.
Lorelai Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 I regret the moment we crossed the friendship line. Yes, we got closer and he's a great person, we'd been friends for five years before though. We could have gotten closer without getting as close as we did. The reason I regret these things is because I really do value him as a friend and it's going to be extremely difficult to get that back.
ilovedhim Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 WTRanger I like that... Be happy for this moment, this moment is your life -Omar Khayam But allow me to indulge a bit in the past and future. I regret not taking things slow when we reconnected. I regret us not getting to know eachother again first. I regret time might make my love for him disappear. I regret after love is over we will meet as strangers do. I regret the magic will be lost. I regret that a may be forgetting. I fear he may have already forgotten.
WTRanger Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 The classic cliche quote is "The only regrets are the chances you didn't take." However, the theme of this post, there is a regret in taking that chance. So paint my ass red and call me Sally, I guess you're just damned if you do and damned if you don't. Another classic cliche quote by the way, the damned if you do part, not the painting your ass red part. If the relationship had worked, you wouldn't regret it. I've never heard someone winning money in a casino and say, "Boy, I really regret playing that hand of cards!" The fact is, unless your ex had those glaring things you now regret about them at the time you dated them, there's nothing to regret. You are now just in regret with hindsight. Even if they did, so what? You took a chance, it failed, move on with your life. Now you know what red flags to look for and have an epic fireside story to tell people.
skydiveaddict Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Does anyone have any regrets about their relationship? Do you regret the entire relationship? Anything you would change if you could? I'm not sure what I regret but I'm thinking... I regret ever meeting her
marqueemoon4 Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) I regret ignoring all the red flags and staying with her anyway I regret not being able to let go and letting my emotions get the best of me when she left I regret not treating her better even though it seemed I was giving so much and getting next to nothing in return I really regret being so naive as to think since I was married to and had a son with this person I though she would always take my feelings into consideration. dead wrong on that.

melenkurion Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 I regret taking him back after uncovering that he had cheated on me. I should have got out then. I thought he would never do it again. I regret marrying him, knowing full well that he had cheated.
coltsfan1 Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 I regret not listening sometimes when we talked. I regret letting her slide on so many things. I regret asking her back after she left the first time. I DO NOT regret her son, I loved him like my own. I regret allowing her the chance hurt my family by taking their surrogate grandson away, for the SECOND time....... But I regret not listening most of all.....
