Living with regrets to as WHAT COULD OF BEEN?

Question

Im off to college in about 5 days lol and there has always been this one distant girl that I always wondered what could of been if I didnt F*%! up lol. As a result my love life has never been the same with her at the back of my mind. But everytime I see this person, I cant help but not want to make anything of it because I treasure the friendship I still have to this day. Im not the kind of guy that lets things slowly bother me, but as my deadline is coming, I have had a sudden rush of mixed emotions.

So the question would be. For people out there living with regrets to as what could of been with something. If you could, would you go back in time to fix it? If you could, would you give up everything to fix it? Does it SUCK that bad to live with regrets?

Answer 1

Never regret, because you have no idea what would happen if things were different. What if you could go back. And you did differently. And it was just awful. Gonna regret that, too? No. Say you're sorry when you should, but don't regret.  

Answer 2

Personally, if I really wanted a person that badly I would take them at the next opportune moment.  

Answer 3

why wonder what could of been, when you can find out?

Answer 4

Yea it does suck. Yes I would go back if I could. Unfortunately that's life and that's how we learn. We all make mistakes we regret. What we have to learn to do is take that regret and turn it into a positive. I will never make that same mistake again! We all have coulda, woulda and shoulda's behind us, we can't go back so all we can do is use them for the future.

Answer 5

Thats life you live, learn, and move on!  You will have that regret for awhile and may go away and it may not depending on how you decide to take and and learn from it!  You need to forgive yourself first then you can forget it as life goes on!  Its something everyone goes through and everyone is different some will dwell on the past and let it destroy them or some people forgive, learn and accept it and move on trying to not make th same mistake again and make the future better! At least your still friends and whose to say what could come of the future, you never know that part of you life might not be over just on pause for awhile!  She forgave you and is moving on , now its up to you!!

Answer 6

Yes i would.  Personally i just got of a 5 yr relationship because of mistakes that i made.  I loved this woman so much and still do til this day but the fact remains we're not together.  I would do anything and everything just to rewind time but thats not realistic is it?  Listen you are off to college with a broader horizins with experiences worth-while waiting for you.  Unless you know this woman is for you deep down and that she can accept your mistake and learn to forgive but more importantly accept then go for it.(Without sacrificing your future or education).  But if there is doubt or you know deep down it can never be, just chalk this one up like i did and learn not to make the same mistake and look forward to your endeavors.  Good luck

Answer 7

What's behind means nothing. Spend too much time looking back and before you know it, your future has come and gone as well. Let it go.
