I've been married for 2 years with a baby now. This sounds really crappy but I've never been able to forget about my last partner. We were deeply in love and were planning to get married but the problem was that my dad absolutely objected to the relationship. My previous partner is an American which my dad absolutely detested. He even made a trip over to the US l just to tell him to end the relationship ship. During that whole period, my dad and I were constantly fighting. I was in school and eventually my dad just tired me out completely, I ended the relationship. I wanted to make my dad happy but I realised that I have never been happy since. I just felt like if I continued the relationship, my dad would never ever be happy. I just "settled" for someone who seemed like he would love me. I know that ultimately I've already made my decision. But I can't help but hate myself for putting my dad's happiness in front of mine.

I know what you mean. Regretting a decision that we have made in the past. Really hating ourselves when we think back. All the 'what ifs' and thinking about ur ex once in a while. But we can't turn back time. Esp when you have a child now and im sure u wan ur child to be in a happy family. Keep those what ifs inside you in one corner and focus on creating lovely memories with your hubby and your baby. Not everyone is as blessed as you to have a hubby who loves u n a baby. Becoz if u give up on ur family now, you might regret again.. Just my 2 cents worth.

Thanks. And I totally agree. I've been telling myself to stop with all the what ifs because they're just not gonna get me anywhere. But I Guess I needed to hear it from someone else too. I really appreciate that.
