If you could go back in time..(thread compliments of derek7m)

[peachfuzz]

What is the one thing you would do different, your single greatest regret? Post them up here boys. I know some of you screwed up big time somewhere along the line. Lets hear it.

[D7M]

ha!

I was just about to do that

I'm gonna have to think about this now...

[*RAGE*]

stayed in the military but not sure if that is single greatest regret...

[RuhlFreak55]

everyone knows what my first answer is......not having pursued Kate/ moved to canada for her...

other than that....if possible i'd make it so i was never born in the midwest where all the religious psychopaths are.

also i'd have gotten my major right at the BEGINNING of college which would make me about to graduate instead of the current situation.

[Ernst]

Dropping out of High School and doing a truckload of drugs wasn't my best idea ever....

[higherdesire]

I wish I could get back the ten years I spent in prison, however I wouldn't be as successful as I am today without having been snatched out of the lifestyle that led me there. I have regrets about some if the things I did when I first got there too. Some peoples lives were changed forever as a result of my actions and I regret that. A lot.

[Matt]

stayed in the military but not sure if that is single greatest regret...

You know lol thinking about it, that is one of the biggest regrets i have...But i have others, which i will think about..

[BuffedGuy]

I would go back in time and stop myself from ringing the doorbell of my ex-fiance's house. That crap really messed up stuff.

EDIT: I would also take back a sports almanac.

[T-MOS]

Can i just go back to the womb and start over??

[Hoggage_54]

Not taking AAS when I was 12, I coulda been HUGE

[DSM4Life]

Boned all the boys in high school.

[warchild]

not banging all the chicks i could have b/c i had no idea

[JDawg1536]

stayed in the military but not sure if that is single greatest regret...

Stayed out of the military..... Instead I would have stayed in school and performed to my full potential. But, everything happens for a reason, so I try not to regret anything I've done.

[hunter7]

agreed, I would have stayed out of the military. I mean I experienced some awesome stuff and met great people, but ultimately I know I would have been happier going straight to college and playing sports. Life is too short to not be happy.

[Brown Ninja]

I would have taken steroids at 16

[Flagg]

Agreed. I dropped out of School TWICE, and while im at Uni now and I will complete it, I wish I had done this years ago..

[JiGGaMaN]

not banging all the chicks i could have b/c i had no idea

i completely agree. i also would have gone back in time and killed the owner of the site and started my own site.

[Matt]

I used to be a regular at a local bar, and one night they were fund raising for this young kid that only had months to live. Anyway they needed to raise £6000 to send him and his family to Florida, at the time i had more money than i knew what to do with so i gave them the full £6000. I WANT MY FUVKING £6000 BACK..

[Dukkit]

i would never of broken up with my fiance.... out of all the drugs, fights, jail time, stupid shit ive done.... thats the one thing i regret

[J-Dogg]

Would have done things different with my first love. I'm too stubborn and moved on too fast. Since her my life has been a little messy. I don't blame her for much, but I did not give her the attention a girl requires. I learned a lot about how to treat a girl you care about, unfortunately it was at the expense of her self esteem and feelings.

[MMArmour]

There is one regret that I always think about. I dated this girl in high school and we just got along really well. Nothing much game of it but years later we ran into each other and hit off again. Sparks flying. It was great. She was still the same person, only more mature. She was so kind to me, so good to me, and I took it for granted. Didnt see what I had in my hands. I think i sort of turned her into some toy for my sexual pleasure and gratification and she liked it but she was looking for more and I was just a young man of about 20 and too stupid to know what was taking shape and what I could have for myself today. She is now married to a guy who literally has 1 leg, is a total jerk off, and has 2 kids. I always think of her. We even stayed friend for awhile till her husband got insecure (rightfully so...id have snatched her away) and told her she cant be around me or talk to me ever again. At first I was nice about it...i told her i understood and that it would be okay and she would be a great wife and just trying to console her. I didnt really understand that it would be a final goodbye so I played it off as cool as I could. It really was upsetting but I didnt want her to get all worked up.

Years later I look back on that day and I should have fought. I should have tried. I look back and Im really angry about it. I sometimes see her in a store and she keeps her head down and walks past me. The things we let go of unknowingly.

I had 5 felony counts of burglary as a juvie.
Ive beaten people up badly. Sometimes with no real reason, one of which I really have no idea if he is alive or dead after what I did and the shape I left him in.
Ive stolen things.
Im done drugs.

And im 23 now, with my nose clean, my own business. I have a good life now. I stay out of trouble and contribute more to society than I take away these days.

But i dont regret any of that. Just her.

Good stuff man.....

[MMArmour]

Looking back...that is really tough to come to peace with for me. I didnt go into too great a detail in that post but thats the majority of it. Obviously there was years of history in there I didnt get into but ya. Lately it weighs on me alot. When im just driving around or see certain things in my town I think of her. The last time I saw her was in a verizon store with her gimp ass husband, that was maybe...gah idk...maybe it has been a year. I knows she around. I ask her friend about her, just seeing if she is okay and doing well. I remember the last time I saw her I swear she was glowing. Haha kinda crazy... The light around her just seemed to be a bit brighter. I know I have to learn to deal with those things and let it go. Shes lost to me for good. But she is a very good person, probably better than I deserve, and i will miss her.

Thanks for this thread. I havent talked about this with anyone.

[BG]

I would go back to when I was 16 and my mom was dying of cancer. I didn't handle it well, I would just tell her how much I appreciated how much she sacrificed, I didnt at the time. make sure those you love know it, never know when they will be gone.

[T_Own]

i would go back and not wreck my first car... out of all the stupid things i've done, that is always the root of a lot of arguments with my mom and because i didn't have a car, i didn't get a job for a while, and it kinda spirals down. more than just having a car, my mom forever thinks i'm very irresponsible and take everything for granted.

other than that, no regrets because what i've done makes me who i am. kinda like everyone else

I've done the same with a special girl. We give up too easy out of pride and embarrassment of being shot down.

Would you want to be with a girl who would leave a guy for you?

[MMArmour]

ya.

It just poses the question..

"Would she in turn leave me for another guy just like this other guy?"

Odds are...youre not that guy. I wouldnt be with a girl who left her husband for me. I couldnt bring that on someone. But a simple boyfriend then yes. I would.

[JDawg1536]

Yeah thats what I was getting to. What do you mean "odds are you aren't that guy"? You mean you wouldn't be the guy she would leave?

[MMArmour]

What I mean is...make it worth the while. Ive left girls in the past for other girls. It was a circumstancial thing. I dont do it just because its a habit. I had reasons for doing it.

Odds are she has her reasons too ya know?

If she has a history of it, then I would be concerned. But obviously youre bringing something to the plate that her current bf isnt.

But if shes married, then **** that. I wouldnt want that on my soul.

[Dukkit]

my ex fiance was the one person who knew me. who knew how much of an asshole i was. and could deal with it. she loved me for all of it. and i went and had to get bored and broke it off and start whoring around

the one thing i regret. i loved her. i still love her. and every girl i fukk i compare to her.

stupid dukkit

[MMArmour]

Generally speaking dukkit, there isnt just one person for all of us. You can still have everything you ever wanted in a woman. takes alot of looking! Dont feel discouraged. It can only get better

I could have used your advice about 8 months ago. Most people seem to think otherwise......

thanks for sharing that.

hopefully this thread will help people appreciate the things they have a little more and perhaps not make the same mistakes some of us have. good stuff guys.

Just reading that chokes me up. Thats alot to deal with at 16. Alot to deal with at any age. Really is an eye opener. Thanks alot.
