Ever wonder what happened to your first love? Have you thought about reconnecting on Facebook? Do you think you’d regret it?
If you’re like many of the people featured in Kevin Hansen’s bestselling “Secret Regrets” book, chances are you regret something about lost love or a relationship gone wrong.
“I’ve collected more than 10,000 regrets from complete strangers on my website. The most common regrets people have typically involve relationships. Many people regret settling for their less-than-perfect soul mate…or not telling someone their true feelings…or simply wondering ‘what if’ about previous relationships they were in,” states Hansen.
Hansen shares with us his top “5 OMG Regrets” people have about relationships.
1) I regret friending you on Facebook. Now I see your life without me every time you post a status update. Technology means never having to say goodbye forever. Female/20
2) I regret falling in love with my friend's husband. I regret not being woman enough to say something to you when I realized we were developing feelings. I regret trying to help you save your marriage because I knew it was about to be too late. I regret that because you two had separated once and you were vocal about hating him and only staying for the kids that I didn't realize it was my betrayal that would hurt you more than his. I regret that seven years later you are constantly reminded of my betrayal because now he's my husband and your kids are my stepkids. I regret that my child still misses you and so do I. I regret leaving my marriage like a coward and ruining your trust. I can't imagine any of your other friends would have done this. I regret that I used the fact that neither you nor my ex-husband believes in God as an excuse for my behavior. I regret that loving him cost me you but I can't regret loving him because I do. Female/40's
3) I regret talking to you the other day, because now I’m thinking about how my life would have turned out if I chose you and not my husband. I thought I was in a wonderful marriage, but now I’m not so sure. I regret that every day I get on Facebook just to see if you are on so we can talk again. I regret that before I go to bed, you are the one I’m thinking about now. We let 5 years pass, and in one day all of our feelings came rushing back for one another. I think about asking you to come with me for drinks or just to hang out, but I’m scared that will lead to something more…something I’m not ready for. I have to put my feelings for you aside right now and think really hard about what I want.
4) I regret letting you back in. I regret wanting you to be in my life again when you walked away the first time. I regret that as much as my mind hates you, my heart loves the hell out of you. I regret that I let my heart win out.
5) I regret never having the guts to tell you how I really felt about you. If I had just told you, you would have told me you loved me too. But instead I had to find out from your best friend after your funeral. You were truly the most beautiful, amazing, and smartest person I have ever met. I miss you so much. The words I never said will haunt me until the day I die.
