IF TIME TRAVEL EXISTED

You see everyone thinks that it's the big decisions that alter your life but they don't it's the really litle inconsequential seemingly insignificant ones that lead to the life changing events!

You seen the film 'Sliding Doors' Haway?. That's exactly what the film is about.

I agree with you 100% as well.

hawaythelads

you are so right!

My ex and I met at a party and liked eachother but he was giving another girl a lift home and I was still besotted with another man.

Several months later, same hostess M had another party. She phoned ex to invite him, but he was out. He got a message that she'd rang, but didn't ring back. He worked for a local council at the time and because he had a car was sent to help out in a small village library as they were short-staffed. Whilst there, someone came in with a music query and the regular librarian asked my ex to phone the music dept of the main library where ex usually worked, because he knew the staff there.
Ex phoned and whilst on the phone, the music librarian asked if he was going to M's party that evening? So he thought "that's why M rang me".

He'd forgotten all about it till he was driving past the end of her road - and because the lights were red and he'd had to stop, he decided he'd go to the party.

At the party he was thinking of leaving when a friend started telling him a shaggy dog story. M wanted to rescue him and introduced him to our mutual friend L who was in love with unsuitable chap and she wanted L to get off with ex. L decided ex was my type and called me over to meet him.

So if ex hadn't gone unexpectedly to another library and had to make an unexpected call I wouldn't have met him again and my whole future would have been different.

It's the little things in life, for good or ill, that make the difference.

In hindsight I should have run a mile the first time he peed on my bed in the middle of night whilst drunk!

You were lucky, mine was sick over me!!

How could we be sooo stupid!!!

C for me too for the same reason as others BUT I think I would probably act differently with the knowledge I have today. His dalliances (being polite) etc would meet with a different reaction for a start. My regret is not doing something about it sooner.

Tinny

c) without a doubt.
He's a waste of space and a living, walking, talking insult to all the decent men out there (and especially here on wiki), but my kids are the best thing ever happened to me and the only thing I'm grateful to him for I have quite a long list of things I'm sooo not grateful to him for, but... who has the time? Good riddance, is what I say
Sprite xx

Tinny - LOL ... I had that too. And scraping it out of his mouth when he was choking in a pool of it one night! I have lost count of the times I was up with a mop and bucket in the middle of the night mopping up wee from just about everywhere, including all over our boys' toys, on their beds when they were sleeping.... the list is endless. I think I have mug stamped across my forehead!

Wow u guys.
I genuinely am surprised at how many of you would not choose to go back and alter the course of your life.

Then again.. the pull of love for a child is what makes us want to die for them so to want to go through the exact same S**t just to keep our babies in our lives proves the depth of that bond of love.

What if we could get to this same spot AND STILL HAVE OUR BABIES though... would that alter your answer at all?

Hmmm....

That takes a little more thinking about. If I could go back, you know what I would actually do?

I would alter the way I was during the last 4 years. It was my W that left me, but I wasn't innocent. My behaviour towards her was somewhat distant and selfish. I thought I was doing things right, but I wasn't. I would therefore go back, change me, change the dynamic of my M and hopefully still be happily married now.

I have a feeling I may be unique in my response.
