I pretty much agree 100% w/ faster but I'm sure he already knew that.

That's it.

Hell yes I "regret" things

For instance, let's just look at my previous marriage....

What about these, near the top?
to feel sorrow or remorse for (an act, fault, disappointment, etc.)
imply a sense of sorrow about events in the past, usually wrongs committed or errors made

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say that my definition is the only one, just that it is one of the possible definitions. That's why I posted all of the definitions. I believe that you and Kel both said that regret is not "wishing you could change things". I just wanted to point out that it can be and that is how I see regret and that is why I don't "wallow" in it.

Btw I like your example but on the other hand, maybe your friend should have not been following you so closely, made a better personal decision, etc. I too have led rides where people have crashed, fatally, and I'm sorry that it happened but I don't regret riding that day or even leading.

I don't know, I agree with Chi in that it's more of a matter of POV and how you deal with things personally than "right or wrong".

There's always a way to prove your point of view.

Yea I'm sure that he has one or two regrets as well!!!

Just fucking with you!

Here's the thing, I don't know if you had kids with this guy but if you had, would you regret your children as well? They go hand in hand, you know?

Ah come on, I was just showing that my definition is legitimate, that's all. You stated that it wasn't.

No, they are independent of each other. I can feel sorry for a decision or event/action in the past and move on...

Given the choice to go back and change things - I wouldn't do anything differently. THAT is a moot point as it isn't possible. I love my family, friends and position in life. So, I don't WANT to change things. But, that doesn't mean I can't "regret" even meeting him

It's all semantics and you typing words in circles doesn't change that.
