I regret ever being friends with you. You make me feel like crap and you don’t deserve me. All I ever wanted was for you to be the sister I never had, and to give you all of my unconditional love. I support you and care for you and all you do is disrespect me. You arrive hours late and don’t even apologise, and when I actually get upset you act like I’m the mean person. I hate you. You are the worst Christian I have ever met and you should spend less time trying to forgive your enemies and more time trying to love the people who really care about you. I know you still introduce me as your best friend to other people, but I hope you know I don’t do the same. I will never call you a friend again.

I regret not having done anything after you left. Letting you leave without even putting up a fight. I regret watching you walk away while inside, my heart broke to little pieces. I regret that I still love you, and it hurts so much…

I’m 18 years old and I am fooling around with a 30 year old married man. He is my professor at University and we are thinking of working together in the fall. He has two young daughters. I feel awful but I also feel kind of special. I know it sounds pathetic…I don’t what to do.

I regret ever giving in to paying for sex.  It seemed so convenient.  I got what I wanted and could walk away feeling satisfied, but instead I felt dirty, seedy and cheap.  I trivialized a beautiful experience and kept coming back for more because the variety and sense of power made me feel like I am more than I am.  I was not satisfied with my life and looked outside instead of inside for comfort and happiness.  I was miserable in my marriage and felt cheated and trapped.  The whores were an outlet for my pain.  They were the wrong outlet.  Therapy did not help at the time.  Now that I am divorced and truly in love, I look back on that time frame with tremendous regrets.  I should have left sooner.  I should have listened to my parents and grandparents when they said she was not right for me, but I didn’t listen.  I thought she would change.  She did.  She got worse and I also got worse.  It took over a decade for it to finally come to a head and now two small lives are also impacted by this poor judgement.  I regret what I have done and where I have been, but I have turned over a new leaf and am heading in a more productive direction.  I have reaffirmed my faith.  I have learned to love myself for who I am.  I have learned to appreciate me for me and to cut myself some slack.  I have also learned to hold myself accountable for what’s important.  My new love has shown me the right doors and I have willingly stepped through them eager to make the positive changes necessary for me to enjoy my life.  The best revenge is living well.  I don’t know where I’m going, but I’m on my way.

I have been having immense sexual and emotional attraction with a 39 year-old man.  I myself am only 19.

I have been having older men constantly hit on me since I was 17.  My father’s friends and my friend’s father’s friends…  I don’t mind this very much because I am so attracted to men.  Boys my age are immature… Instead of waiting 5 years I just go for older men.  Well, I started getting annoyed when a married man continually pursued me.  So, I have been shunning men and boys lately purely because they’ve been so dull.

Well, I met my neighbor after just moving into some “half-house” apartments.  His roommate was irritating me so, I was about to walk away when he came out the door.  He was holding a beer, tattooed, bright eyes, and sexy smile.  He invited me in and we listened to music I loved, talked about drumming (we are both drummers), and watched our favorite Comedy Central shows.  I was just struck by his good-looks.  I immediately pegged him very much so out of my league, but that wasn’t going to stop me from flirting with him.

It’s been a couple months and now I’m just dying to get a piece of him.  We had a big party and we spent pretty much all night together drumming and playing different music.  He was actually looking at me, touching my leg, rubbing my back.  The light bulb lit up, I saw my opportunity, but I went home.  We continue to continue where we left off every time we catch one another and I’m just thinking to myself, “Should I?”

He is single, has his own place, stable job, and has COUNTLESS things in common with me.  I’m most definitely feeling like we could date, but a 20 year difference? Will I regret it? Does it seem like I should just try and move on?

I’m sorry I hurt you my Angelbright. I cannot take it back. I cannot change it or how you feel but please know I love you. I do not want a divorce. I wish you could understand the situation and events that lead me to making that mistake were your doing. I feel like you abandoned your wife and kids for no good reason. I did not call police that night either. I regret you can’t get over it.

I regret letting myself get like this. I regret not being myself. I regret lying to so many people about so many things. I regret becoming the recluse I have become. I regret saying “I’m starting over right now” and never doing it. I regret cutting. I regret talking to two other guys while you thought I was all yours. I regret not leaving you sooner. I regret getting back in contact with you. I regret lying to God. I regret turning my back on God. I regret letting my baptism mean nothing. I regret how fast I can type this because I have so much to say. I regret not getting my number changed earlier. I regret not having a relationship with any of my family. I regret what I did to my body. I regret that I planned it. I regret being too aggressive and awkward. I regret not going to therapy sooner. I regret telling people I hate them when I have no hate in me. I regret going behind my parents’ backs. I regret giving in to Kyle sometimes. I regret not taking better care of my animals. I regret living my childhood and this part of my teenage years the way I did. I regret not picking myself up sooner. And most of all, I regret the fact that I hate myself so god damn much.

i don’t understand why you told the cops it was your narcotics and took the rap for your friend. i thought everything was okay, you were suppose to get your probation reinstated, and do no time. but your lawyer shitted on you and now you abandoned me, you hurt me, you make me suffer pain every time i think of you because they took you away from me. i regret it took this bullshit for everyone to give a fuck cause you’re in jail. i hate visiting you because i always have to say goodbye and i don’t want to let you go. you say we don’t know how you feel, but do you honestly think I’m not in there with you? i have never felt so lost and empty.

I really wish, I had listened to my parents about you. They told me you weren’t a real friend to me… and you proved them right. You were my best friend… at least I thought so. After I accidentally broke your arm, I apologized and I thought you forgave me. And then, I can’t even remember what you did that time, but you turned everyone against me, and caused me so much trouble that I had to leave school and get homeschooled. But we got over it, and I came back the next year. For awhile everything was like it used to be, we were best friends, and we told each other everything. Maybe I told you too much. We talked about that girl, after I heard what those other girls said. I only did it for something to talk about. And that monday when I got to school, she got in my face for talking about her. You told. You were the only person I told. And no one admitted to what they said, so I looked like a liar. I have no idea what your exact intentions were here, other than to maybe “be a good friend”. But you failed to leave out the fact that YOU did it too. Because of this, I had to leave school again. But I never went back. I moved. And now I have an anxiety disorder, and god knows what else. It took me two or three years to finally get back into a school setting, because I’m terrified that it’ll all happen again, and I’ll really  get messed up. And now you expect me to be your “best friend” again, and you seem to “forget” everything you ever did to me. We will never be anything close to friends again.

I regret not saving myself for the one I love and I regret cheating on him, once I found him.

Submitted by: CASJM

I regret ever loving you. When it all started out, I thought you maybe really did love me too. Then you just stopped talking to me. And “we” decided to “be friends”. Then a month later, you came back, and told me “you love me” and “you miss me”. And I couldn’t help but go back because I did love you. But, you weren’t with me. You were with her. And I didn’t hate you, I hated her for taking you from me. And after awhile, you walked away… again. And you and her ended too. And she and I started to talk, about how we hated you, and how you could possibly hurt us like that. And I moved on… And now you’re back. And I just wish you’d leave me alone, and I don’t want to be playing your game anymore. I want to love someone. I want to love you. But, I can’t live like this… only being around when you want something from me… I don’t trust you for that. She’s around still. And who knows who else. I can’t do this. I won’t do this to myself. And I won’t fight her for you. I deserve better. I love you, but this is goodbye.

I regret not enjoying the love of a family and the welcoming feeling of home. I was just so intent on thinking I have it horribly. I regret walking out the door thinking i was going to be back in a month or so. Now, 2 years later I’ve never been more depressed.

I regret not telling you how I felt before you left. You moved so far away, and now I have no way of contacting you. I will miss you, and I’m sorry that I never said anything.

I have so many things I regret in life. I regret not taking up the so many chances given to me because of my fear and low self esteem. I regret not joining dance. I regret not accepting your proposal. I regret being the cold aloof person I am. I regret not going overseas for exchange. I regret all the times I spent over TV and dramas. I regret not socializing. I regret all the hateful words and sarcastic comments I made. I regret all the people that I have let down and was nasty to. I regret not living a happening life. I regret staying at home all the time. I regret so many things that I vowed never to regret again. Seize the chance when you have it. Do whatever you want and try as many things as you can. Life is only so short, it is too wasteful to spend on regretting. LOOK FORWARD AND MADE THE CHANGES TO ALL THAT YOU REGRET AND TO DO ALL THAT YOU DESIRE.

I did not cheat on my wife, but you made me want to. You made me long for something else, for something new and improvised. You showed me enough to see. But I behaved. You behaved. That was the right thing. I just wonder how long it will take before my life feels right again. Before the color comes back.

After our mother passed away, my husband and I were left with the responsibility of raising my youngest sister who was 8 at the time (I have 2 sisters).  Essentially, my husband and I were honoring my mother’s wishes.  My other sister and I are closer in age and grew up with a sibling rivalry largely because I was the oldest and the good student and viewed as the “good” girl to many of our friends, family, and fellow classmates.  I was also the thinner sister and she continually received undeserving negative comments that were out my control.  When my mother chose me over her to raise our little sister, our relationship was tested even further.  I have always thought of her as the strong one (always seeming to handle difficult situations and confronting people directly when she disagreed with them), but what I failed to realize or anticipate that our last argument 30 years ago would put her over the edge, and so it has been many years that she has had nothing to do with me.  I have tried to contact her through friends and they would not give me her phone number.  I recently searched and found her on a community web page and apologized to her privately, told her I loved her but I continue to be rejected and it hurts.  I have longed for a loving sisterly relationship with her but have come to realize that it may never happen.  We are now in our 50’s.

In summary, I regret that I wasn’t sensitive to her feelings because of her past experiences and was so caught up in trying to raise our little sister and my own kids in the way I thought they should be raised that I didn’t even consider that she may feel she never measured up.  That she would feel rejected once again and that she thought we felt she wasn’t good enough.  I feel I was an active participant in all of this. I have many regrets about how I could have handled things.  Hindsight is 20-20.

I regret that I still can’t forgive you, though I told you I would. You’ve left this darkness in me I can’t shake, a nausea, a toxicity. Partly it’s that I continue to be angry at myself for staying in your life when all you wanted to do was lash out, degrade, turn love and faith into shit, but man, you’re an empty soul, the worst kind of narcissist. You weren’t sober then, you are now, but all signs still point to you being an asshole, low on empathy, high on self-involvement, judgment, and a hunger you still can’t satisfy. It’s horrible, and even though it’s been years, at times I can’t keep from wishing you pain, all the pain that all the women who dared to care for you have been made to feel. I wish it would floor you numb, bring you to your knees.

I have had sex with the boyfriend of one of my best friends five times in the last few months…. it only happens when we are out and had a few drinks… but I find myself thinking of him lately. I dont know whats wrong with me, its not about the sex (even though its good) its about the way he makes me feel. I know on the other hand he is not gonna leave her and its going nowhere. I am starting to think i have no respect for myself, but I dont know what to do, how to stop it or if i want to stop it. I need help, i am thinking on going for counselling, but will it help?

I’m sorry for not being different. i lie to almost everyone, i guess i feel like people will like me better. i have lost nearly all my friends, i cant really say i even have many acquaintances who think fondly of me… i don’t really blame them, i would hate me too. I always feel like people are talking about me everywhere i go… i just wish there was one person out there, one person who liked me for me, not something i pretend to be.

I regret trying to impress you and giving up a special time in my life. I regret the stress it caused me and my family. I regret the fact that I wasted the time, money, and mental energy and I failed anyway. I regret thinking I wasn’t good enough the way I was. I regret that I can’t go back in time and redo the past month or two. I regret that I’m almost out of time now and I can’t get those days/weeks back. I regret that after the first time I went out of my way to impress you, and it worked, that I didn’t say “no more”. And sadly, I even regret that I failed the second time. Because the cost was too great.

I regret how unsocial I’ve become. I don’t much want to go out. I enjoy a lot of time alone, and I gotta admit I watch WAY too much TV.  I’m not depressed. I feel okay. I really get into the TV, and I guess I’m just not interested in small talk and other bullshit that comes with evenings out (never mind the money). I was married. I’m divorced. I don’t miss my wife either. We should never have made it legal. Dating? Ugh. No thanks. Not now. I like my job. I have friends there. I golf some. I exercise. Maybe travel or a club or maybe I’ll sit down and watch another episode of CSI. Shit’s good.
