learn from your mistake and don't look back\n\nthen set a goal to accomplish something, work hard to accomplish it, accomplish it, and dwell on that accomplishment!

First let me say you are not the only one who has been through such things.  I too, have done things which I later regret but at the time I refuse to think about the consequences because at the time it feels right.  You can avoid making the same mistakes twice by learning from your first mistake.  Before you do something on impulse..evaluate the situation, think about the pros and cons and then decide if it's worth it.

I'm assuming you mean "worrying". My philosophy in life is: 1) Don't sweat the small stuff, and 2) It's all small stuff. What happens, happens. You can't change the past, and the future hasn't happened yet. Make the best choices you can, and if your wrong, your wrong. Learn from you mistakes. Take life one day at a time.

I've asked that question before and realized that if I answered it, I would have unresolved issues/events I need to deal with. What I am trying to get at is that for myself, if I want to attain contentment, happiness, peace, and free of regrets, then I must accept everything, every event, happening, etc. that has occurred in my life. Come to terms with everything, the past is the past, it is unchangeable, but I reflect upon it to change what I can today, make better for tommorrow, and learn from it. I was 'dealt a less than decent hand', far from normal, and many challenges. I have overcome many osbstacles, weathered many storms of life, and made many mistakes, but I have no regrets and I am at peace with my past. And that is where it stays, in the past, to reflect upon. \n\nSo my answer to your question honestly, is I wouldn't change a thing.

I have been like this for a while now ,someone told me the worst thing you can do is worry about it so I don't.Keep writing things down and being organised and enjoy your life and have a laugh at yourself when you do something silly.There's worse things could be wrong with you.

The only way, is to accept it proudly. Stand up at ALL the decisions you made, bad or good, realizing the mistake or the good point you have contributed.\n\nSomebody said, regrets are only regrets, before you take responsibility. Then they just become old mistakes.\n\nEven if, you have the ability to erase the mistake of the past, it isn't guaranteed that all the mistake you turned into good choices is about to amount in the "biggest good choice" in your life... It might just amount to a bigger mistake in your life. \n\nBasically: good, plus good, plus good, does not necessarily mean, equals good. Sometimes it goes like this: good + good + good = BAD. Sometimes it is like this: bad + bad + bad = Good. Don't you agree?\n\nSo, the question is, would you trade everything you have now, and run the risk of ending up worse?\n\nSometimes, we get caught up with perfection that we forget, that it does not exist. Victories are sweeter with tastes of defeat.

What the hell are you asking? Everybody makes mistakes. You should learn from them, not continue to make them.

Try to think before you do anything. Another words, try to think before leaping. But don't feel too bad we all go through stages like that.

this happens to a lot of people. what happpens is that subconciously, you think that you don't deserve a relationship this good.  You said its your best ever right? well if you keep tripping over whether you're gonna do something stupid or not, you're gonna end up doing something really stupid.  so concentrate on how lucky you are, and also concentrate on how you can make this already wonderful relationship even better, that way, when you do screw up, there will be so much more positive things you've contributed to this relationship and it'll survive those rocky times.

No one can do everything wrong all the time. You are berating yourself.Try to be more optimistic.

There's a old saying:\n"Listen to too much advice and you end up making other people's mistakes."\n\nTake advice under consideration, but let the final call be yours.

i have had a similar experience. You need to understand that everybody makes mistakes. What really matters is if they learn from their mistakes. If you think that he knew he was wrong and he loves you unconditionally now then you need to forgive him and stop thinking about what happened. If you keep putting him down, chances are he will feel desperate and lonely and will do the same thing again. If you don't want him to do the same thing again then stop punishing him. If he is really sorry for what he did then forgive him and forget the past. You can't build future living in past. Forget it and try building your future with him... =)

given the chance to fix one thing in my life, it would be ALL the wrongdoings i have made. but then, if i have been perfect all my life, what's the use of living this life and learning from our own mistakes? those mistakes in the past contributed to the person that we are now. things happen for a reason regardless if it is intentional or not. the best thing to do is to learn from one's mistake and continue living for the better, not for the worst.

Admit you made a mistake - because anyone who does that never loved you anyway. correct your life - by taking out the trash (your mate). brush yourself off and get your head on straight and tell yourself he is not worth your tears. Learn from your mistakes and get on with your life. \n\nbest of luck.
