Is she alive or live in a foreign country? Life is unpredictable.

My partner and I were high school sweethearts. We got married when we were 19, had two kids, and after a challenging, 10-year marriage full of ups and downs, we got divorced.

During our time apart, we were great co-parents, we both dated other people, and after two years apart…life sorta just brought us back together. We started doing more things together with our kids, enjoying each other’s company, and one day, he asked me to be his date for his best friend’s wedding. We’ve been together since.

Staying at a job that was boring and frustrating just because DH was anxious about me getting a job elsewhere. Looking back, it’s crazy I stayed as long as I did.

Losing my teeth and having to wear dentures is a big regret.

My regret is not spending more time with my brother before he passed away.

dreaming more than acting on certain things

If it truly is the biggest mistake, consider dropping the 'D' in DH.

Living in a red state for too long. I should have pressured DH to move out years ago. What sh@thole

Spending 6 months trying to breast feed with psychotic desperation, egged on by online forums. I had low supply and my kid had a poor latch. I bought grey market domperidone from overseas, set alarms to pump every few hours around the clock, and generally was miserable, depressed, and unavailable. I also spend thousands on equipment and snake oil.

6 months in I had a moment of clarity, switched to exclusive formula, and got on an antidepressant. It was like a light switch flipped. I finally could enjoy my baby. But I’ll never get those six months back.

An abortion in my 20s.

You are me. But exercise has really helped.

- not going to a small liberal arts college instead of a very large school. Just got lost at it.

- ending it with a woman because I was nervous that it was going too fast. WTF was wrong with me? Her life didn't turn out well, but together we probably would have been really good.

- living in the Midwest for too long. Could not get used to it vs. growing up on the east coast.
