Everything is not as simple as right and rong, black and white
We are all human and makes mistakes
Young people think they will never get old and older people forget they were ever young

That i will be happy in the future....that things will work themselves out....i worried too much back then and felt quite down and weak..

Marry for money
@ChampagneOnIce Bezos' ex remarried is already getting divorced again .. $$ is no guarantee either, trust me.

@Stillwaiting Money is a guarantee of a certain quality of life. Money is a necessity, at least for me. As of September 2022, MacKenzie Scott has a net worth of $33.4 billion. She can cry all the way to the bank. I'd be very happy with that net worth. I've loved deeply and still do. Love doesn't pay the bills nor provide the quality of life I wish I had.
@ChampagneOnIce There are lots of unhappy rich people too is my point. Not for nothing, but Mackenzie's first hubby .. and now her second .. had to watch her walk away with a chunk of money she likely really didn't have anything to do with earning. There is a flip side to that in marriage/ divorce law that is rather unfair to the high earner.

That going to therapy is ok, mental illness is not something you need to hide, and what a narcissist is..

That you don’t need to understand why some people do things. It’s not your fault. Some people are just evil

I should have been more careful and focused. It'd help to avert some incidents.

Mostly to invest in my own life and future, not lovers

to invest in gold and amazon.
Jimmy2016 · 61-69, M
🤔....................to buy as much IPO stock in Apple in 1980 and as much IPO stock in Microsoft in 1986.................only if I had known in advance about this stock in 76-78................I would be set financially now.
Staying truly happily married for 25 or more years is uncommon .. perhaps closer to a Disney fairytale than a realistic expectation for an outcome.
I wish I knew I was A) capable and B) suitable for what I really wanted to do in this life: some form of medicine, therapy, etc.

You can't compare as world looked different , but what is missing at such age is being more conservative.
Reflection2 · 41-45, M
I don't know. I guess, I would have enjoyed my life more than being ambitious and working hard 😂
Harmonium1923 · 51-55, M
Opposites may attract but similar interests and world views are essential to a strong relationship.

Nothing more than I did for it's been a long and bumpy ride, but with so much happiness thrown into it all.
I wouldn't want to know anything that might have changed my world from how it is now. Even with some heartaches, life's been good.
antonioioio · 70-79, M
@SW-User the same here

That @PetalsOfLilac wasn't born yet 🤔
