| Mistakes you don't regret Posted: 6/20/2007 9:13:49 PM | | I once fell hard, really hard, for a woman I KNEW would be bad for me. Everything in my head told me to stay away, but I got carried away in the romance, the lust, knowing that it would not end up well. Sort of like exhilaration of speeding in turbocharged car with poor brakes. When that car crashes, there is guaranteed to be a mess, and a mess I was. Still, I never regretted getting involved. Any stories? | |

| Mistakes you don't regret Posted: 6/21/2007 12:01:06 AM | The similarities are astounding,sounds like what I just came out of.
9 and half years later,to reach single father status again.
It was a crazy roller coaster ride, that assuredly had to end in disaster.
I definitely don't regret my little boy he is my life.
As far as the mothers concerned, I'm still trying to figure out what happened and why.
My story could have been written by David Lynch with a dash of David Chase.
Scary, beautiful at times, weird as it gets at other times,very confusing.
Do I regret any of it,it depends from day to day, what parts and how much. | |

| Mistakes you don't regret Posted: 6/21/2007 12:13:49 AM | ^^^ Hear , hear, When it is too good to be true then it is!
I'm still trying to figure out what happened and why Tried that the first time to no avail, live your life, raise your son with a happy heart as I did mine and don't waste time trying to figure. Take what was good and keep it in youre heart for it has become part of you Have no regrets for anything unless you did it out of anger or to hurt

I don't regret anything, even difficult things I have been through. The difficult times have taught me more about how imperfect I am, and ultimately that knowledge makes me kinder, and more accepting of others...~Anicca~
I will not regret you, I just have to learn to love you more. | |
|
| Mistakes you don't regret Posted: 6/21/2007 2:04:49 PM | I moved to Calgary for a girl. Was in love, was going to get married, bought a house, etc.
She ended up cheating because she was getting cold feet, etc.
I recently moved back to the beautiful city of Vancouver, and I don't regret a damn thing.
Even made a bunch of money on the house. ;) | |

| Mistakes you don't regret Posted: 6/21/2007 5:58:26 PM | | Yeah, similiar to th OP...that damned 'little voice' kept telling me it was a train wreck waiting to happen, but I have a fabulous little boy to show for all the stress, trauma and nightmares...He is my equivalent of a 'Pheonix' I suppose... | |
|
| Mistakes you don't regret Posted: 6/21/2007 7:56:29 PM | | oh yes, I have done this one!...lol...and yes it was a tad painful but, with both girls that I did get involved with and I knew they were probmatic as to say, i have made friends with both of them and it was worth it... | |

| Mistakes you don't regret Posted: 6/21/2007 9:15:37 PM | I think everyone's guilty of this. I sure am, many times over. But hey it's these life experiences/mistakes that help you grow and learn.
My most recent one was meeting someone who was way NOT ready to meet. I was warned about how it would end up and didn't listen. Nothing happened and I thought we were both looking for friends. But still I lost someone fun to talk to and what coulda been a great friend. Frusterating as all hell. But hey, no regrets. Live and learn, right?

| Mistakes you don't regret Posted: 6/22/2007 12:12:25 AM | Question for Jase77 poster #6
In another thread you wrote and I quote ,
Ok, so ex cheated on me, after I moved to Calgary for her. Totally over the relationship factor now, but I have a slight dilemma.
I purchased a house while out there, she was not on title of the house, but on the mortgage as a Guarantor. She's legally not entitled to the property as we didn't actually become common law.
""Now I've recently sold it, and I'm projecting roughly $12-14k profit from the entire thing.
I know for a fact she is expecting a chunk of that, but I almost want to give her nothing in return for what she did. Plus it gives me more in the end, and I think I deserve it.
Keep in mind, she has paid for nothing so far. Not a Mortgage payment, not bit of the lawyers fee, etc. Nothing.
Originally when I thought I was going to make WAAAAAAAAAAAAY more, I said I would give her some, $5k actually. But the market went cold, and it took a while to sell, and the profit margin is way less. Like less than half of the original projected profits.
What should I do? ""
You posted that on 6/21/2007 at 2:09:13pm and now you say and I quote,

| Mistakes you don't regret Posted: 6/22/2007 12:25:57 AM | my last relationship ended with me being with a soul-crushing female who was having far more sex than I was, and also having the most beautiful daughter in the world.
It was so worth it. | |

| Mistakes you don't regret Posted: 6/22/2007 1:01:59 AM | before any one else posts on this thread they may want to read message #13  | |

| Mistakes you don't regret Posted: 6/22/2007 3:13:19 AM | | I could never regret anything I've done in my life. To me there is only choice, if you regret the choices you make that make cause you to doubt your judgement in the furture. I'm not saying I haven't learned from the things I've done just that I know that if I haven't been where I've been and done what I've done I wouldn't be who I am and me is the only one I'd die for. | |
|
| Mistakes you don't regret Posted: 6/22/2007 6:57:52 AM | Interesting topic.
I have often pondered this and always come to the conclusion that I regret nothing that I have done. I do however regret some of the things that I didnt do, opportunities not recognised at the time or those I was unprepared to deal with. | |

| Mistakes you don't regret Posted: 6/22/2007 9:13:33 AM | another post another thread
