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.

We all have regrets, but it's who we ultimately choose. Things might have been perfect with someone, but things might not have been as good given the same situation with different person. He might act differently if you were married with him, or had kids? Well we never know. But when I was younger my mom did told me something really true. You will not marry someone you love the most, you will be thankful you didn't. Because what matters is you are able to live with that person for life.
