Regrets

[Depression = 72% of members]

I regret not saying no the first time he came to my house. That would have saved us both a lot of grief.

I regret not insisting in friendship.

I regret not being able to ever again feel as special to be kssed like my first kiss.

I regret letting my emotions get in the way of my happiness.

I regret the lies I deliberately told myself.

Last but not least, I regret letting my shame & pride get in the way of me letting him know how much I really love him and wish he felt the same. I'm sure it wouldn't change him or his feelings but at least I wouldn't be regretting it.

Regrets are a normal part of any failed relationship.  It seems though with relationships that involved BPD those regrets are intensified 100 fold.  I have many regrets too, many doubts, many what ifs ... .but at the end of the day my biggest regret may just be not having the strength (or willingness) to walk away when she showed her true self to me in the beginning.
