I regret allowing my husband to make me feel worthless….
I regret I ever married my husband. I regret I was not able to see from the beginning what type of individual he was. I regret staying as long as I did with him. I regret putting up with the verbal and emotional abuse he vocalized on a daily basis. I regret allowing him to make me feel like I was old and ugly. I regret allowing him to make me feel worthless. I regret thinking I could make him into what I wanted. I regret wasting 4 years of my life and coming out of this marriage with less than what I went in with. I totally regret this part of my life.

I stayed with a guy for this long, let him abuse me for this long because I thought he needed me; I thought I could help him (he drank; had a bad family life). I couldn’t. No matter how hard I tried, and I’ve been left with such anger and bitterness, but I’m mostly angry at myself and amazed I didn’t extricate myself sooner. It certainly has made me better at recognizing unworkable situations and so much more careful about whom I trust. These are good lessons — too bad they were so hard-won. I hope your future starts looking brighter and brighter and that you’re stronger for having had this experience. I think I am. I hope so anyway.
