[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm disturbed at the hint of triangulation going on here. The hint of disrespect, that marriage isn't the result of a partnership but of one partner being defective, or that somehow you regret this decision because magically there's a more perfect DW somewhere out there.[/quote] Regret: feel sad, repentant, or disappointed over I don't think regret means there is a more perfect DW (or DH) out there somewhere. I think it is the realization that 2 adults are not handling things well and that they wish they had handled it better before it got to this. I regret not getting my H into therapy (or making it mandatory to stay married) in our 30's instead of his 50's. Except he was misdiagnosed 15 years ago so even though I have regret, I also give myself/and him a break for not being perfect.... and maybe someday, my kids will realize life is not perfect and they need to give themselves a break for not being perfect.
