Ever at an emotional 'crossroad'?

Asked by glenjamin (2505points) February 22nd, 2011

Have you ever had to make an emotional decision of high importance, meaning one that would impact the way the rest of your life turned out? Since you’ve made the decision, do you feel you’ve made the right one or would you go back and change it all if you could? Of course I am talking about matters of the heart here. Please discuss.

Over this last weekend I was so sick with the flu I came to an impass and was given the decision to continue to live or allow myself to pass on. Never have had that experience before and I honestly thought that I would choose to let go but the human spirit just doesn’t give in when it comes right down to it.

No many of mine were all made for me. My first real love in college left me for a married man…I was told she deeply regrets leaving me still to this day. My first wife left me and a month after our divorce told me she regretted it. Since then being married again has has certainly involved moments of emotional high importance none of which I will ever regret. ;)

On a different note my heart was broken years ago and I totally regret what took place and would change it in a heart beat if it were possible.

I’ve a few exes. They all ended because, for whatever reason, it was agreed by us both that any budding relationship wouldn’t blossom and we’ll just end it before any sowing takes place. It all worked out in the end. So, in answer to your question, No, I’ve never been at an “Emotional crossroad.”

Yes. Some choices I regret very much, others I don’t.

My emotional crossroads was a couple years ago. I lived with my sister and had a part time job, went to high school. Eventually my part time job offered me full time, which of course had me in a pickle between full time or finish school. I found that the school I was attending was not for me and I would do online school and work full time. Soon after dropping out and enrolling in online school I kind of just dropped schooling all together. I dropped out of online school and put all my focus on my job. Worst decision ever. I lost that job. Never make friends with your bosses daughter who wants your job.

Anyways, every day I wish I could of graduated with my class, I wish I didn’t ever have that job because they fucked me over bad and put me in a 2 year rut of being unemployed and a high school dropout. Everyone tells me I can “just get my GED” it’s not a matter of “just getting” back on track, it’s a matter of satisfying myself. I want to get my high school diploma more than anything, even if my life is pretty well on track now. I don’t want to have the fact that I never finished high school, the easiest part of life, hanging over my head.

Currently I’m back in online school, working a different full time job and it takes up almost all my time. I wish I never did this to myself, but that’s life, trial and error.

I do what I perceive as right in that particular moment.
I know, that I’ll never be perfect, but doing what I believe is right, at any give time, means that no matter what, when I look back, I can be satisfied. Cause even if I took the wrong turn, I did it because I was convinced it was the right thing.

I have made many choices like your question states. This can be in career, physical moves, matters of the heart.
I don’t regret any one of the choices. They were always thought out and once a choice is made, I don’t look back on it. It was made based on information at that time and I may not even be able to recall all the things that went into at points in the future.
It is also not very productive in my opinion to deliberate whether you made the right choice or not.
