    I took a wrong turn and ended up stuck in a driveway. The guy who lived there is now my husband.

    Not using a back up method to bc pills while on antibiotics. Lol Got pregnant after being together for only 5 months. Still together 7 years later. I've done some dumb stuff in my life but I'm proud of this one.

    Every mistake I made was the best mistake I made. Because my mistakes are what made me, me.

    I wouldn't say it was my mistake, I blame it on the Trojan company. But I have the sweetest 2 yr old daughter anyone could ask for because of it. :smile:

    Agreed!

    My biggest mistake, to some people, might be choosing to retire after my knee injury from football and not sucking it and playing. I had to think about my future and i knew if i kept playing football, i would not have a healthy future. All the choices we make, right or wrong, has lead me to this point in my life. Learning from past mistakes is the greatest thing we can do to over come them.

    Dropping out of college. Well, putting it on hold really, since I'm going back in August hopefully. If I hadn't dropped out and moved back home, I never would have dated my husband. Things worked out way better than I could ever have planned it.

    Lol after my then high school girlfriend broke up with me, I dated one of her friends.

    Best mistake I ever made ?

    I ended up back with my first girlfriend now my wife of 6 years, been together for 10.

    If I wouldn't have done that and become friends during that relationship months later after that break up I don't think we would have gotten together again like we did.

    Not too many people can say they broke up with their current wives 10 years ago dated their best friend and then ended up back up with their gf then got married.

    I was an a hole yes, but it built a stronger friendship through the psychotic craziness.

    Missing my plane from Paris to Madrid! There was a pilot strike so I couldn't get a new flight and all the high speed trains were sold out. We ended up taking local trains which took 2 days and had to come from France into Spain via San Sebastian. We spent a few days there before going back to study abroad in Madrid. Such an amazing magical place! Best mistake ever!!!

    moving to the UK from Australia when I was 20 - goddamn, I was so naive!

    Steep learning curve taught me a lot though, I don't think I'd be in the same position I am now if I hadn't pushed myself to go.

    I moved to Utah from California when I was 18. I was NOT in a good place emotionally and should have stayed home with a good support system while I worked with a therapist. But I got my dog in Utah and ended up moving back home with the mutt a couple months later.

    While a lot of people are mentioning spouse and kids, and I've got a pup. Oh well!

    The point of this question is not about the mistake that you made but how did you fix it and how do you avoid doing it again

    The point of the question is to see how people react to questions or situations that they are not expecting.

    Not using backup birth control when I switched from one birth control pill to another and missed a few days in between.

    I've never known joy and love like my daughter has brought to my life.

    Well, that's easy. Don't use online chats and allow yourself to be seduced over a period of months by some strange guy from half a country away!

    Probably moving states away to be with my boyfriend (now ex) even though I was leaving so much behind for only one thing. He turned out to be abusive and controlling, but I got out of it, learned to live on my own knowing nobody in an unfamiliar place, and figured out a lot of things at that age that has put me at an advantage now.
