Being naive and trusting too easily. I was 17 when I met my ex husband and he was 24. He told me everything he knew I wanted to hear. I was amazed at the person he was, amazed that he really got me, understood who I was and what I was looking for. After we got married, the real person came out and it wasn't the same person I thought I was in love with. He openly admitted four months after we were married that nearly everything he told me in the beginning was a lie and he knew that was the only way he could have me. I was young, thought I knew what I was doing, and ended up being a total fool. I wish I wouldn't have trusted him so easily, but then I wouldn't have two of my amazing daughters, so I guess it ended up working out okay.

I wish that my hubby and I would have waited until we were both divorced from our past partners before we started our relationship together. Unfortunately once the decision to divorce was made--we acted like it was already in force....After being best friends for a few years, the step towards a relationship was a shock. (The reasons for divorcing had nothing to do with us or our relationship but prior issues in the the relationships with our previous partners.)

staying with someone even though you don't love them

My parents got divorced when I was 16, but never acted like they cared about each other. Why do you ask?

Marrying my ex. He knew how to manipulate and suck you into guilt. I knew I shouldn't have married him, but went ahead with the wedding because it was only two days before and a lot of money had been spent, all the relatives came from out of town, etc. When you know it is wrong, it is cheaper to get out before you are married. My other mistake was believing things would get better and staying as long as I did.

Lying, which includes cheating.

I don't regret, because everything that has happened in my life has contributed to the person that I am today.
That said, I would not advise anyone to stay in a loveless/abusive/irrep arable marriage for years because you think it's the right thing to do for the children. It's not (based on my experience).
And, what a tragedy if you miss out on meeting your soulmate because you're in a marriage that will never work and makes you unhappy. Luckily, my soulmate unexpectedly came along a month after I separated from my ex.

I don't regret anything in terms of past relationships. Yes, I probably dated wrong people, but it was necessary for me to get that experience.

I read that wrong. I've never cheated. I read it as the person doing it to me. The worst I have done is said something really mean just to hurt the other person for hurting me.

I could have written this one. My ex-husband and situation were exactly like that, too.
