Thx, needed to reread to make sure which choices you may have referred to.
Okay got it. In context, referring to thirty+ years ago, I entered my first and last relationship, but it was one that neither one of us should have entered, Im guessing.
My regrets are that instead of getting right and make the best of things, I went on a downward spiral, (drank too much) By the time I got working on that, it was over and she was gone.
I regret being the kind of person I was and the pain I caused, and yes, losing someone, (actually five someones) plus other family by extension. But I thank God by His grace He kept me from really harming them, things could have been much worse I suppose, but thats no excuse, but I pray they got past things quickly, I really dont know anything about them at all since parting 26 years or so ago. (I tried in the beginning, but a combination of rejection and bad advice let it all slip away).

But what Im in now is almost the exact opposite, only more painful to the heart and numbing to the mind, because I could see no good reason for it. Sure we've had ups and downs in a very short time, but recently had everything put behind and had agreed to leave it there and move ahead together towards each other and see what the Lord would have us do.
It was a bit of nervous excitement on my end, but hope and joy, but then to have the 'proverbial football' pulled away out of the blue, (again...it's gotten to be the story of my life), has got me back to thinking ..... don't believe in or hope for ANYthing.

But I'll never regret the decision to love someone, that's not where my regret is. It's more regret that I'm not a better person, and I can't be perfect. It's funny, but it seemed like there was more patience, understanding, mercy and forgiveness back in the days when everything I did was horribly wrong, but now that that's all behind, and I believe in Jesus and am trying to do the right thing, and have faith and hope and joy and yes, love, be at the forefront, these past few years at least, it seems there's no mercy, not an inch of room for error, no matter what I try to do, to do something right, I'm misjudged or it's misconstrued, and I'm condemned,
but anything I may do wrong, even no matter how small, it's magnified and held against me like the unforgiveable crime of the century. And the enemy is having a good laugh about it I'm sure, looking for another dart to throw. Let it laugh, though ..... It won't be forever. I just have more regrets to pile in the sack, and try to figure out where to go from here. God bless you, ~Jo~ , thanks for caring.

I did that? I said I'd wait a few years til you have time to put a relationship first, not your mom, but I'm sorry, I'm just not interested anymore. Find someone who lives in America and doesnt mind eating with your parents every day and who talks more nice and polite and not Dutch. It's kinder to call it quits than let you pay a plane ticket for 700 euro and then say hmm neh. I like to cut things off as quick as possible. Learned from my mistakes. Now I learned that I have to put Jesus first and pray and not even talk to a guy unless 10 angels come telling me this is really God's will, accompanied by 500 prophets with good fruit, or in others words, sorry but I'm rather alone.

There's a mental ignore as well as the software for ignore. It can be helpful to use the mental ignore when things get heated for no good reason

Thanks, ~Jo~ , I responded to your post #142 before, and I thank you again for your concern. Near the end of my reply, it was a bit misunderstood, and we have had a rough time of it trying to communicate lately, but it could be that things are already smoothing over, the main thing is to have resolution the christian way, and we both know that.
No matter what happens, we want it to be according to God's will, and we're forever brother and sister in Christ, so that bond can never be broken, thank you, Jesus.
As far as the rest of the matter, I was only responding to some obvious mocking of a friend, and myself, going thru a tough time. I can only imagine the kind of shellacking Id receive if I made the same exact comments in those sad cicumstances (and rightfully so, too) but I hope I wouldnt be that way, by God's grace, I dont believe I would. It's when things get rough and you're down that you find out who your real friends are. Thank ~Jo~ for being one.
I'm sorry if I disrupted your thread, you know that wasn't my intention,yyy but I stand by my response, and I think this time it was better than not saying anything.
