Biggest Regrets In Life
Weve all got regrets in life.
Some big, some small.
Some potentially life changing, others not so much.
Some with unknown consequences if carried out etc.
I regret not having seen Freddie Mercury and Queen in concert. Not a life changing event but as a Queen fan a significant one.
I regret never embarking on a love affair with someone who obviously had a thing for me because I was in a relationship that was going nowhere anyway. Who knows what may come from it?
I regret having ever tasted alcohol as a kid that was bought up in working mens clubs in the 70's.
Many more...
What are your regrets?

So my parents offered to pay for me to have piano lessons at the home of a tutor just down the road from where I lived, with the spare piano being brought into our home for me to practise on. However I was a shy kid, and totally terrified by the thought of going into a strange adult's home, so I declined the offer.
Several years later, when I'd gained some self-confidence, I asked if it would still be possible for me to learn to play the piano but by then, of course, my grandfather's piano had been sold and my parents couldn't afford to buy another one. So I never got the chance to learn. I still regret it to this day :(
I don't have regrets as a subtle change in my past might not have led me to where I am now, with a wonderful family and lovely life.
However, a bit of me wishes I'd tried harder at school and gone to university, then forged a proper career.
But as I said, no regrets. I could have done the above, and now be sitting on my own with a bottle of wine and 36 cats, instead, I'm sitting with the other half, my son, and a bottle of wine, 1 dog, watching the Ireland match. Bliss, that could only be improved by my daughter being here, but she's too busy being a student.
David Small, my late husband would have posted the same, he left the merchant navy because his first wife couldn't handle him being away.... He always regretted it. I met him after he reached retirement age but he was an officer and officers wives could travel on many of the ships had he still been working I would have travelled with him some of the time I expect.
So many people marry, their partners change to try to please them, or simply as they settle into a different life and somewhere down the line the complaint is ' they are not the person they were when I met them'
