What is your biggest regret?

[Anonymous]

What is your biggest regret in life? Would you change it if you could have a do-over?

[Anonymous]

Not finishing college.

[Anonymous]

Getting married and having a child. I'm soooooo tired. I want my old life back.

[Anonymous]

Letting my parents talk me into going to a piddly regional college for the free ride when I had the credentials to get into any college of my choice. If I could do it again, I would not go there.

Career choice. Wish I had chosen that magical thing that pays well and offers high flexibility. I got one, but not the other.

[Anonymous]

I wish I had found a career I loved.

[Anonymous]

Not having more children.

Choice of husband

Drinking too much in my 20s and early 30s and working too much for so long. I wasn't an alcoholic but I was just part of the bar and club scene. I also worked really long hours. I wish I had traveled more and married my husband earlier. I wish we had our kids sooner (although they wouldn't be the same great kids--so never mind).

Staying with an abusive man, and allowing him to convince me that I deserved that kind of treatment. It tooks years to begin to heal my self esteem and trust in people. I've been divorced ten years now and it still brings tears to my eyes to reexamine the scars from my twenties.

Marrying DW.

[Anonymous]

Reckless sexual choices that made me lose what little self respect I had to begin with.

Should have gone to med school instead of law school. Or vet school.

Can't really regret this because I met my DH in law school, but just saying I went for the wrong reasons and wish I had learned something useful in the natural world (and thus, useful world-over) rather than useful only in one state's artificial construct.

My other regret is not traveling when I was younger (but I didn't have the money) so I'm taking care of that now.

Marrying who I married.

Letting my mom move in with us.
