In my early twenties I was in the fortunate (!?) position of having the attention of two young ladies. We all got on well together, but there was a certain rivalry because it was intimated to me that if I asked either of them to marry me, they would both say "Yes".
I did in fact ask one of them, and Betty and I have been together now for 55 years, so I suppose you could say I made the right decision. We are still friends with the other member of the trio (who incidentally married and had four children!), but I still sometimes wonder "What if .........?). Obviously life would have taken a very different course.
Now! ......... I've made my confession. What can you look back on, and the decisions you have made, and then wonder "What if.......?")
What If .....?

What If .....?
That's easy. Not allowing a BF that I'd been hanging out with for 6 months convince me to marry him! Thatnk GOD I waited!!!

Bullet's trial was a farce. Can I get an AMEN?????
We won't be punished for our sins, but BY them.

My "what if" is not one of my own actions:
What if my mother had taken me to a psychiatrist when I was plagued by hallucinations at the age of 7? A whole can of worms could have been released before they had time to eat away at the bunch of us.

Interesting question. Mine would be, What if I was given more of a chance to learn and grow into a responsible adult when I was young....would I have few issues today?

These kinds of what-ifs are good, at least far better than freezing in indecision before acting because of the infinite negative what-ifs.
*added* Congrats on the long marriage. Ours is further back on the same road.
