People Online Talk About The 31 Things They Did Once And Promised “Never Again”

Some of us are not that smart.

Don't marry someone you don't truly know and then whine and b***h about how awful it is. You're the one who picked that person.

I found her the first time - together 30 years, married 24.

It took twice for me to get it right. Fist time I was an a*s but the divorce knocked the corners off and I am more appreciative and try harder now . 40 years and counting

I've always been pro marriage and honestly thought I would only b married once. After 20 years, I don't know if I'll ever marry again

I feel sad for the regulars.

My husband keeps trying to convince me to go to Vegas. He’s been there a few times and loved it even without gambling. I have zero interest

Casino gambling is against everything I stand for. I'm a math teacher.

I like my money too much!

I used to break even every time. Four hours of fun and drinks, same amount of money when I left. The last time was a complete disaster and I was done... haven't even considered going back.

Same here. I weighed 388 and have lost 220. So I now weighs 168. (I'm 6,1ft) The best d...n thing I've ever done for myself.

And some would say loosing weight is fatphobic. Seriously leave and let leave

226, 100kgs is still heavy, unless you're very tall and muscular.

I was a bit overweight, but lost a lot in half a year. When people see me they go "oooh how nice you look! How did you manage it?" And I tell them the truth, it is my new medications! My appetite is gone and my metabolism is through the roof! I am stuffing myself with cream on my cereals, butter in my foods, and so on, daily, so my clothes won't fall off. Sigh

I worked with a stunning looking young woman. Everytime the one consultant came in he'd want to spend time with her. He was over 400 pounds, sweaty, unkempt, & poor hygiene. I sarcastically remarked that looking the way he did, he can never win over a babe like that. He told me that my remark hurt but that he needed to hear it. He went on one of those TV weight loss shows & won. Not sure if he got good looking woman after that but he was certainly much more appealing. And healthier.

I was lucky, I didn't really remember drowning. I just remember seeing the older kid jumping off the diving board and coming down towards me then i woke up on the side of the pool. My sisters and I were impressed that mom actually came off the tennis court. She had her usual under-reaction "take it easy for a bit then get back in the pool. Tell the lifeguard if your head hurts".

My wife still has nightmares about the time she drowned. In a past life. Seriously, she is convinced of this.

I suck at swimming but love it..as long as I can sorta touch the bottom or have a thingy to grab at..I'm afraid it'll happen again but I'm gonna be smart. Swim buddies help too.

Most things don't get better all by themselves. If you want things to get better, you have to take action. Sometimes that action is practical (leave that abuse boyfriend/husband/wife/girlfriend) at other times it can be more subtle, such as changing your mindset so you can take practical action afterwards. But don't just sit there and hope it get's better: you're the captain of your ship, even if you don't control the weather!

Too many people out there will shame you for distancing yourself from certain family members. You must be a bad person if you don't talk to them. No, I am the good person. The family member is the one who is toxic. And those trying to shame you could be estranged from their own family over their own toxicity.

This should be ranked higher. Unfortunately some of us realise this when it too late 😕

So Howard Jones lied to us?

But isn't every girl taught at a young age that she can change a man just by the power of love?

How about Don't,

Some time apart can work for some couples and make them stronger when they get back together. It depends on the reason for the break up and whether or not anything has changed. Definitely not advisable if the issues haven't been resolved you're just going to repeat the same pattern. After a break up it's all too common for people to only remember the good times together and conveniently forget all the arguments and that's why they make the mistake of rushing to get back together, only to break up again.

I tried this too. Nothing changed regardless of all the promises. Yes, there r times it can work. I know a couple that took a 10 year break and he got married in between. But now they r VERY happy. Most people don't change

New Year's Eve celebrations are like that. Ultimately disappointing, I prefer to stay at home and watch it on TV!

I'm from DC so it's "traditional" to go to the event/fireworks on the national mall for the 4th of July. I went once and had an absolutely horrible time. It's SO hot and crowded. Then it takes hours to get home because millions of people are all trying to cram on to the Metro at once. (You can't drive because all the roads are closed) There were fights and we were packed in like sardines. It smelled nasty. Never again! I'll watch the fireworks on TV while sitting in the air-conditioned house.

Agreed! Glad I did it so I can use it in my "Interesting things" intro, but would never do it again for all the reasons listed above! Also, 'cause girls can't just "whip it out".

Went to London for the Millenium celebrations. Raining, crowded, couldn’t get a drink. No toilets. Freezing cold. Thousands of people trying to get into the tube stations. I could have watched from home with a glass or two. Never again.

I was a professional musician. New Years Eve jobs were always the worst. So many once a year drunks.

Alcohol is not only an irritant, but a poison. If you reach a point where you HAVE to drink to avoid the hangover, you are poisoned and the withdrawl is nasty.

You are the lucky one

Same, done it once when I was 15-16? I've had a glass of wine occasionally or cider during the summer, but I don't feel desire to drink or get drunk. If only I felt the same way about sweet things.

I don't understand why some people are willing (even thrilled!) to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

A skydiver donated his organs and saved my life. I am not supposed to know that, but I heard it in pre-op and it's not like skydivers drop out of the sky everyday around here, so it was easy to find.

Sad to hear. I've done two, at 70 and 75 and both were FANTASTIC!! Of course both were in tandem.
