My secret mistake is letting you demean the person I know I could be. I tell everyone how wonderful you are but I keep it inside that I know I could be a much better person without you. My mistake was letting you be the one by my side for 6 years, having children with you and marrying you. I love you. You are good in so many ways. But my mistake is ignoring your faults.

my secret mistake is letting myself become addicted to pain killers. I've had three instances where I have exaggerated the pain I was in so the doctor will give me something a little stronger than ibuprofen. I've taken one every night before I go to bed for several weeks. My husband doesn't know. He just thinks I'm tired. I am tired. I'm tired of relying on them just so I can sleep.

My biggest Mistake was letting you go. I was scared to let you in and hurt me, but really I hurt us both by pushing you away.

My biggest mistake was imagining up a person i was very close to, and then having him die willingly.

I only imagined him for about 3 months, but i imagined he'd always been there, helping me through growing up and hard times i had gone thru in earlier yrs, like a brother and guardian. then he died.

He never existed. But i made him so real to me that whenevr i think about his passing away, it makes me cry myself to sleep. He's real to me...

My mistake? Going to the doctor and getting back on the meds after being clean (albeit in agony) almost a year. Sure, they give me relief? But as long as I have them you insist that I share them with you and once again I am out of meds two whole weeks early and tomorrow I'll be sick and in pain again until I can get a refill- at which point, you'll expect me to share with you again.

I love you to death, my husband, but I can't keep doing this. I'm scared to death to be sick again, to try and go to work that way, clammy, in pain, diarrhea and cold-sweats, anxious and angry; but those two weeks of pain free existence were ALMOST worth it.

Still, I can't keep doing it.

I never should have gone back on the meds, I NEVER should have agreed to share them, now?

Now I'm screwed again.

My secret mistake is pretty gross. While cooking one night, I thought I had gravy on my finger and licked it off, but then I realized it was parrot poop, not gravy at all! While it had no taste, I started gagging just knowing what was in my mouth! Gross!

My mistake is having sex with your best friend when we broke up.

The next mistake was getting back together with you soon after.

The next mistake was getting pregnant...and you walking away.

Now I don't know who my daughter's father is, there is a chance it's either one of you. I'm too scared to tell anyone. Or tell you that we need a DNA test.

my biggest mistake is sleeping with you, even though i know you're perfectly happy and married to her.
we both now have a secret that can never be let loose.

the biggest part of this mistake is that i've now turned you into a living lie, always lying to her to keep her happy, thinking she has the most perfect husband in the world.
i'm sorry that i did this to you but not sorry it happened. you could have stopped it whenever you wanted but you didn't - i knew you wanted me too.. not only as your best friend but as a lover.

My secret mistake was living my life doing what i should have done instead of what I wanted to do: married the right man instead of the one I loved because he would have been the best provider and father for my future children ( which he did),staying and sacrificing my dreams instead of going and risk failure,so others could live in their comfort zone, not leaving this loveless marriage and run with love when life gave me a second change at love. Now I have a life full of right things done, unfulfilled dreams, and emptiness because by doing what i should have done, i made others happy but my self.

Lying to my friend, where it forever hangs over me.

MY BIGGEST MISTAKE IS THE LAST 8 YEARS... ITS BEEN MISTAKE AFTER MISTAKE AND IT ALL STARTED WHEN I CHOSE TO DROP OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL AND GET MARRIED.

NOW I AM DIVORCED, WITHOUT A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA AND CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT I AM DOING WITH MY LIFE AT 26.

AND THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF ALL IS ALL OF IT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF MY FATHER CHEATING ON MY MOTHER AND I'M THE ONE WHO LET HIS MISTAKE RUIN MY LIFE!!

26/F

My BIGGEST mistake was telling myself I was IN LOVE with you when I wasn't and moving across the country to be with you. When the fact is... I don't even know what love is anymore since my EX broke my heart, and I have spent the past several years trying to force myself to love in hopes that it will magically really happen and I can finally settle down and start a family.

But now I spend everyday trying to figure out how I am going to leave you and where I am going to go next.

There is no LOVE here and I believe you feel the exact same way!

My secret mistake was never telling anyone that i love you each and every moment of my life.

The biggest mistake of my life was getting into that car with him and driving to the motel. There is no reason and no excuse, not even the money. It's left me feeling empty and unable to fill myself.

YOU are my biggest mistake. It was a mistake ever letting you back into my life. Especially now that I'm married to someone else. It was a mistake letting you kiss me, and my mistake for not ever finding out how to stop loving you, even after you broke my heart.

1. Falling for a guy like you
2. Falling for you because I pitied you
3. Blinding myself
4. Telling you how I felt
5. Accepting your "Let's forget and be friend request" just because I knew I was your only one.
6. Ignoring you after a month of not seeing you.
7. Ruining you just because I was capable.
8. Taking away everyone else you had.
9.Being such a bitch to you.
10. Feeling as if I made a mistake.

I don't know if I'm sorry though.

My biggest mistake is letting you go, you were the best friend i've ever had, i deserved it though, i treated you like shit because i was an addict.

my secret mistake is always going back to you, after 5 years now. you're not worth my time and i could do so much better..you said so yourself. and the mistake of letting myself become so insanely vulnerable. i'm putting an end to this.

My biggest mistake was going after the guy that dumped me after a dinky four month relationship for another YEAR. I wish I just got over him then and there instead of wasting away for a year. I'm glad I'm over that creep.

My secret mistake is that the people who know me think i have friends and a boyfriend. When in reality for the past six years i have had no social life and no friends and i sit in every night. Now i am tired of lying.

F/35

My biggest mistake was ever believing that i was anything but your favorite screw.

my secret mistake is letting you sneak into my room that night; and letting you take my virginity; when you didn't even know you were. and letting you wipe my tears, believing all your pretty lies. the even bigger mistake is, still loving you through it all.

My secret mistake is letting myself swallowed by guilt for what I did to you years ago now that I was finally happy with my life. I hope you are well and that something good came out of it for you too.

my biggest mistake was putting me first; my job, my family, becoming a professional wrestler, and my friends.

my biggest mistake is not putting you first when you hated your job, when your family was falling apart, when you wanted to become an ASL interpreter, and when you were slowly losing your friends.

i drove us apart, you deserved better. and now i sit here a year later waking up every morning feeling empty cuz i dreampt of me putting you first...

Never should I have taken that first cigaret and I should NEVER EVER have blamed myself and grabbed heroin.

My regret is your mistake...I regret not to have contacted you after you wrote me. My regret became aware after 10 years when I cried and realised I missed you. When you noticed my grief you considered it a mistake to let me love you with my innocent and young heart.

My Sercret mistake is cheating on you while you were over seas... I'm sorry...

My secret mistake is pretending that I was attracted to you and staging a pseudo-relationship with you just because you claimed you were suicidal and I felt bad for you, but the more I talked to you, the more I decided you were faking it, and that's when I cut our "relationship" off. I was never attracted to you, I just wanted to help you get back on your feet and made the mistake of acting stupid because I didn't know what to say. Not only was I not attracted to you physically, I didn't even like your whiny, bitchy, emo personality, I only kept the charade up because I thought you were emotionally unstable and didn't want to be the source of more trouble for you. It was one of the worst months of my life. I made myself look like a fool in front of everyone I know, but even worse, I was untrue to myself.

My secret mistake is to allow you to bring out the worst in me, and still blame and punish myself and endure everything else because I love you.

My biggest mistake was letting him hold me, and wishing that you held me the same way.

sending you those pictures and beileving you when you said forever. everytime it was just another pretty lie

My secret mistake is talking about you so much when you broke up with me.

My mistake is not telling D that I loved him when I had the chance. It doesn't matter now. He wasn't and probably never will be ready for a relationship with me. But I still wish that I could tell him in person without losing my voice.

My secret mistake was letting you get to me. almost a year later, and you still get to me.

my secret mistake is still being married to you, knowing im probably not in love with you!

I slept with your friend when we broke up. I miss you so much but I cant forgive myself.

my secret mistake is...letting you take the best part of me. i fell for you like a runaway jet, didn't care and had no regrets. but now, i see it was a HORRIBLE mistake...cause now you don't give a shit about me, while i am still falling helplessly in love with you.

~female 16~

My secret mistake is not going back to him when he gave me a second chance. I still miss him terribly. It doesn't feel like it's beeen over a year.

My secret mistake is that I sent him those pictures on IM last year.

Female, 15

My secret mistake is to allow you to bring out the worst in me, and still blame and punish myself and endure everything else because I love you.

My secret mistake is that I couldn't even bring myself to tell about my mistake to total strangers .
