Unfortunately, this has happened to me a lot throughout my life, then i had to wise up about it.  Now my motto is: "Don't mistake my kindness for weakness!"

I, like most, have a few regrets about decisions that I made in the past but when it comes down to it I wouldn't be the same person had I not made some of those choices.\n\nI think one of the best steps, if you'll call it that, is actually staying home to raise my children.  My professional career and my education is important to me, but those things will still be available to me after my kids are in school.  I think too often parents are concerned about their own careers, ect that they miss the important things by not staying home with their children

When you start taking responsibility for your own actions, and stop saying "It's not fair!" or blaming others.\n\nWhen you realize (at gut level) that the answer to "Why me??" is "Why not?"

Start enjoying life for one thing. You can't always do everything right, that is why it is called life and we are here to practice life each day. That is why we get another chance the next day.  So make your mistakes, that is the great thing about a mistake is not the regret, but that you learn from them.  If you never make a mistake you will become a very dull person.  Everyone thinks once in awhile, I could have probably done that differently. Then the next time it happens you have your chance to do it differently. So give life a chance and live it. Your mind is your worst enemy, let it go before it holds you back to much. It sounds like it already has. So the next time it happens, tell yourself, STOP!  And just do it.

Stop blameing bad things that happen on your fantasies and imagination.  When are you going to take responsibility for your own life?

I'd much rather regret what I've done than what I haven't done.  At least I can go through and rationalize my choices in the past and ease my conscience about things I've done.  I find myself realizing so many things that I would have liked to have done and didn't, and it becomes clear that I've recently changed my perspective to be more willing to take the chances and live life fully rather than sit on the sidelines regretting what I never did...

I almost left my spouse and I am so thankful I didn't.  I deserved to lose everything/everybody in my life because of my stupidity but I believe God intervened for me.  I am not going to badmouth this person because I am just as much to blame for this mess as he but he definitely was not the person I thought he was.  It has been over for 2 years and I am still paying for this really bad decision.  I will say it before everyone else will, "what goes around comes around."  I deserve that one.

I think it's beacause we're human and we've all made mistakes. So when we see a chance to stop someone else from doing things that we regret doing, it's instinctual to try to alter their path in life as a sort of pennance for not altering our own. It's like getting a second chance to see how things would have turned out for us if we'd made different choices in life. And I think the only time someoone is ready to hear our advice is when they say, "Can I have your advice?"

Make a list of their bad habits or traits that irritated you so much...\nRemember all the bad things about them and be glad you have another chance at happiness in life...\nThis is a blessing in disguise...\nI have been there and done that...\nIt seems terrible at first, but later on, you look back and think, what was I worried about...\nAnd you find yourself in a better place than before...\nBest of luck...

Think twice before an action... don't harm yourself or others. Consider your values. Don't be selfish thinking about others, how will your actions affect them.
