I'd hate to change my past as I'm very happy with my present and would never want to jeopardize it. Likewise, a lot of "mistakes" have been excellent learning experiences for me, which makes them hard to regret. That said, my biggest regrets have mainly to do with staying in relationships longer than I should have. I'd done this twice, and both times I walked away drained and depressed. The women were wonderful in their own ways, but we just plain didn't work and I shouldn't have tried to force it, and definitely not for as long as I had. Now, though, I'm happily married with someone I'm excited to spend every day with, and I assume I learned quite a bit from those relationships to be able to enjoy and appreciate this one.
