You said the army turned you into a monster….
I regret that I don’t understand all of it, even more I regret I can’t fix it for you. I love you more than the day after infinity and I’m afraid the PTSD is going to win. You said the army turned you into a monster, took everything you had and left you empty. You see a soul tortured by the stains of war, a man torn apart by its aftermath, bloodstained hands and such. I see a man whose trigger finger is now happiest twirling my hair round it, or your blue eyes laughing when I ask you to do THE GRIN. I don’t know what else to do but tell you I love you and ask you to please not push me away. I am here & you are not alone my blue-eyed angel.

Then we had sex, and it was dreadful….
I hadn’t seen you in a while, in what like two years? When I ran into you on the beach and then you called, I got hopeful. I forgot all about how badly you treated me when everything ended. You asked if we could have a drink, hang out. Why not? I thought. It was casual. It was fun, two old friends hanging, tossing off the past, starting again, showing our best selves. But then we had sex, and it was dreadful. It had nothing to do with me and everything to do with you – your ego, your appetite. I could have been anyone, a stranger, another one of your ex’s. You just took what you wanted and I let you. One thing never just leads to another. I thought I loved you back then. Maybe I did. Maybe you loved me back, but it’s hard to believe it now. It’s hard to believe how empty an old flame can make you feel – like devoid of life. Old. Too old.

I can’t always control what comes out of my mouth….
God, I’ve said some stupid things. I can’t always control what comes out of my mouth. It works as if it’s on autopilot. It often makes me feel a little queasy as I’m letting it go. These awkward outbursts can’t really be fixed or not altogether. All I can do is hope that the receiving party forgets all about it. But they rarely do. I don’t, when I’m on the receiving end.

I never quite managed to deliver all the support I believe I should to my students….
On this day of service, I regret that I’ve not been a better teacher. I’ve been in education for many years but have never quite managed to deliver all the support I believe I should to students. Energy and knowledge in the classroom is the least of it. Even meetings outside during class aren’t what’s most important. At the university level, where I work, a more sustained and consistent voice in the development of students is needed. Ongoing advice about intellectual topics, communication of hard-won professional experience, and tangible support in the form of recommendations letters are all crucial, yet I haven’t done as much as I should have for those who’ve given me their trust.

You had another operation and I wasn’t there….
I’m sorry, Mom. Once again, I’ve failed you. Or at least done less that I should have. You had another operation and I wasn’t there. Your daughter was (again) but not me. You were understanding, as always, about my living my life but I should have done more. (Maybe you should have been more demanding? That would have helped.) Now the moment has passed and I realize I should have been there for you.

I was sent to prison for rape….
im very sorry for talking a 15 yr old into a blow job. i was convicted of it 18 years later and sent to prison for rape. i am now confined to being a regestered sex offender. i have never done that before and never again. i have been out of prison since 2002, did 3 years in there. and i can not keep a job because of it. most law offices and public want us dead, and some of the offenders need to be! but some of us made a mistake, and pay for it the rest of our lives. and if i was rich i would have never even been tried!!! but to give the law officers and the public what they want this will be my last words. im sorry jamie for what i talked you into and to all you who think you are GOD, you have skelletons in your closets also and the truth will come out! and to those who took the time to know me and see i was not the monster that every one thinks, i love you and will miss you. and good bye

You rightfully put a restraining order against me….
Okay, here goes. In 2007 I was foolish enough to become infatuated with you, even though my true love was then, and is now, Helen. She has forgiven my foolishness, but you, Crystal, have not. You rightfully put a restraining order against me, since you don’t know me from Adam, and I understand. But since the TRO is now expired, I’ve been looking for a way to apologize to you for my behavior. I never intended any harm toward you, and I regret everything that I have done regarding my foolish and immature infatuation. I want you to know those feelings are no longer there. I finally grew up, and realize that my true love is Helen. She and I are together now, and totally committed to one another. We have even discussed marriage. She is the most wonderful woman in the world, and I totally regret wasting any of my time being infatuated with you, when she was right there, the whole time, showing me how much she loves me. At any rate, I never meant to hurt or frighten you, or to make you feel uncomfortable. I regret sending gifts, and pestering you, and everything. Most of all, I regret destroying a friendship, and ruining everyone’s fun at Jellicle Moon, just because I had to act like an overboard infatuated middle-aged teenager. If i could go back in time and knock some sense into my own head, I would. I am truly sorry.

Huge, evil monsters that tower over me like creepers…
I’m sorry that I lied. I’m sorry that you still don’t know. I’m sorry for everything, but you were the ones that drove me to it. You never allow me to be angry, and so I lash out at those who do. It’s not right, and this is not how I want my life to be. I don’t want to be that silly little girl who hides in the corner because nobody really likes her, because I’m not; I choose to be. I made some bad choices a few years ago. They were nothing back then, but they’ve grown into huge, evil monsters that tower over me like creepers, suffocating what I need and replacing it with what I am. I regret that. I will always regret that.

I never knew why you treated me as your enemy….
I’m sorry I walked away from you New Year’s Eve. I was shocked to see you. It’s been five years. It was you who treated me so poorly back then. I guess it was nice of you to approach me as a friend. But the truth is we are not friends, a former couple only. Time may heal for some, but you were truly awful to me. I never knew why you treated me as your enemy. If someone told you something bad I’m sure it was a lie. Despite the fact it took a long time to get over you, and despite the fact that I’m still single to this day, your smile come on and quick kiss in the crush of that crowd made me run. I ran because you’re a real heartbreaker and I wouldn’t be able to survive the pain if you broke my heart again.

I spent most of my time surfing the net and watching tv….
i regret ruining myself…. i used to be a good student until class 10. i studied hard, got good marks. i never got below 85%. my parents were proud of me. in 11th i took science stream because i thought i could do well and become an engineer. but then everything changed. i stopped working hard. i spent most of my time surfing the net and watching tv. i had changed. exams came and went, i kept on getting poor marks…but i never felt bad, never felt ashamed. my friends were shocked to see my poor performance.
11th was over and then came 12th…. the story was same…. i became even worse. now i have 3 months in hand… in march we have our final exams. i have realized that i have wasted 2 years…the 2 most important years of my life (my career) went in vain. my parents never questioned me because i told them that i’m not taking these exams seriously and that i’ll do well in final exams. they have faith in me. but i’m not at all prepared for the exams…. i don’t have faith in me. i’m very scared. i think i won’t be able to do well in the exams. my parents’ trust will break…. i don’t want to break their trust. i want to do well but i find no way out. i was thinking of committing suicide….but that’s not a solution… it will make my parents even more sad…. i must do something. i have decided that i’ll study well these 3 months…. and try to do well…at least for my parents…and for myself too…because i don’t want to regret this further in life.

He broke up with me because I didn’t get my divorce….
i’ve been separated from my husband for four years. three years ago i met the most wonderful guy ever. we’ve been dating ever since. the problem is that he broke up with me because i didn’t get my divorce. he wanted to marry me and i wanted to marry him. for some reason i didn’t get my divorce and it’s not because i still love my husband. i just didn’t do it. i have no excuse. i just don’t know why. i’m sorry for this and if it’s any concellation i have to live with this the rest of my life. i gave up someone who loved me and treated me like the lady i deserve. i love wray very very much and i told him i was getting the divorce and he said it was too late. the other problem is that he gave me a chance once before. i want him back so bad. i’ve tried everything possible but he says no.

I regret so many things it’s comical….
I regret being a two faced ass. I say things that I shouldn’t — it always comes back to bite me and I hate that. I regret always fucking up friendships because I am so insecure. I regret not always being happy…because in fact my life is so wonderful. I regret being a failure and wanting to give in to it. I regret saying things about people and then wishing I could be them. I regret not being a nicer person to people who need it. I regret so many things it’s comical… I regret being so weak that I crave attention whether it’s good or bad attention. I regret not standing up for myself that time you walked all over me. I regret hating myself after being with you. I regret that one time in elementary school when I chose to stay and missed an episode of Sailor Moon. I regret trusting people so much. I regret changing myself so I would be accepted more. I regret not loving myself like I deserve. I regret not being a better person.

Attorneys never take responsibility for their mistakes….
My biggest regret is becoming a paralegal and working for the city. If I had known when I graduated college what I know now, I would avoid the law because it just doesn’t work, avoid attorneys because they never take responsibility for their mistakes. I would have gone for my MBA and definitely gone for the money (don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, it is about the money).

How is it possible to throw away people like you do?
I lived my life with no regrets, until I met you. I regret ever believing you could be a friend to me. I regret believing all your lies, I regret loving you. I regret believing you when you said you loved me. I REGRET THOSE TWO NIGHTS. I regret not having the strength to walk away when you’ve already moved on to someone new. I regret believing that you could ever love me, that you could ever understand me. I’m despretley trying to forget you but keep falling deeper and deeper into this heartache of hell. How is it possible to throw people away like you do? How do you throw away a history of nine years for someone you’ve never met? I regret allowing you to ruin me. I hope you read that letter you get in the mail today and that you feel as bad as I have these last few months. I hope you feel the hell that has been unleashed on my life. You said you weren’t “that guy”….You are WORSE than “that guy!” I regret allowing you to break me. I regret that what I did, that believing in you, brought me NOTHING but pain.

You were indeed the love of my life….
Dear Sharon B.,
I regret so much letting you go all those many years ago. If I had known then how alone I would be, I would have fought so much harder to keep you next to me. I know it’s way too late, but it’s only now that I can say that you were indeed the love of my life.

i regret that your wife jackie wants a divorce from you but is afraid to tell you because of the children. Both yours and hers and yours… i regret this because apparently i am the cause of it. i regret loving jackie since our college days and never having said anything about it until it was too late. i regret not having told jackie until she was married to you and i regret the way jackie has been stalling for the last several years between you and me. good luck.

How do I fix my marriage?
Several months ago my husband announced that he needed a BREAK from our marriage and he moved out. A few weeks later I had a miscarriage, that would have been our second child together. I went into an even worse emotional spin after I lost the baby. Two months after that, I met someone else and got pregnant again but all of these months later, I still miss my husband. Neither of us has filed for divorce. I am living with the person who knocked-me up and my husband parties all of the time. If I had a re-do button I would re-do the problems in my marriage. I don’t have that re-do button and I don’t know if my problems with my husband are fixable now that I have rushed into another relationship. How do I fix my marriage?

I drank too much last night….
I drank too much last night. I said some awful things. When people say booze is truth juice, they don’t know what the hell they’re talking about. None of what I said was a true expression of what I feel. I don’t think you’re a loser or without talent. I didn’t sleep with that girl Tina. And most of all, I don’t want you to give me back the necklace I bought for you. I meant none of it. I’m going to call you tonight to see if you’ll still go see W. Maybe our shared hate for that bastard can help get us through this.
