What's your biggest regret?

[Ragashii]

As stated in the title what is your biggest regret right now? It could be something like not choosing the soup of the day and having a salad instead, or something serious. So, what's currently bothering you?

But my real regret is buying another new car when I knew damn well I would get more value out of a newer used car.

Pretty sure if you did do this, it would be your biggest regret.

Why? I study history as a hobby, I'd just like more structure to it.

I don't need money, so it's no big deal. Not like I'm doing it for a career.

You get brownie points in my book for that reference.


For me, not getting my Net+/A+/Security+ Certs. While I'm certainly not knowledgeable to pass the exams, with some study, I could be. Plus, that's a career path that I'd be pretty okay with, and I knew a guy that literally told me that he would set me up to get a job if I managed to get my certs. Unfortunately, I decided to slack off, and I decided to go to a community college instead. I suppose it's not all bad, my path isn't really worse than if I got my certs.

Most recently, my greatest regret is not going absolutely berserk (verbally!) on my (previous) best friend's boyfriend. It might have knocked some sense into both of them. Oh well, I suppose it could have ended pretty badly as well.

For today, my biggest regret is eating a chocolate mint candy before eating string cheese. The cheese would have tasted so much better if I ate the chocolate mint after the cheese.

The day I cheated on my girlfriend.. We could be married right now and have kids..All gone by a single wrong decision taken... Thought she d never know about it.. Well, she did...

Well, if she never accepted your apology (I assume you apologized) and never forgave, maybe the relationship just "wasn't meant to be". As in, you might be better off without her, as much as you think you aren't.

Posting a topic asking a deep philosophical question, and not posting my own answer to it... like the OP.

My biggest regret is being a serial quitter. I start up many projects and never finish any of them.

I regret that I didn't have the courage to move out at 14-16, around that age. So I could go to the school I wanted. Instead I ended up moving with my family, again and again. And didn't get to study what I wanted (chemistry).

Would have been much further along in my studies and career if I did, a huge opportunity wasted.

I also regret not going on spring holiday to my grandparents in 2006, not long after my grandfather died.

[Flutterguy]

Going to art school. X.x ugh.

Letting my ex walk out of the door, many years ago.

You don't forgive to someone who cheats. Never. They get away with it and do it again. It's a rule of thumb. Everything has exceptions, yes, and there are a few people out there who would forgive and the people who are forgiven never waver again, but they're very few, so it's best to save yourself from further heartache.

My biggest regret? Fixing the relationship between my ex and her mother. It allowed her to come between us, so instead of being married and having kids... yeah.
