Temporal Novice
We all have our reasons for persuing the ability to see the future or change the past, mine I believe to be the greatest. Love, true love, this is my reason for wishing to alter my past and no one elses, I met the woman of my dreams and fell in love but the way i met her was through being in a realtionship with her best friend. I wasted more than just my time with her, needless to say i have allot of regretts, things i wish i had not done, and others i wish i had. I wish to regain my innocence and give the woman i truly love the man she deserves. With that said I will try to make as many contributions as is possible.
no fate but what we make for ourselves

Perhaps she was just the "warm-up" or "practice"? Often times life works this way, and so the lesson would be to be mindful of those regrets and the things you wish you had not done... because the odds of a woman more wonderful than her is spiraling her way towards a chance encounter with you are better than you might think.

I know, as I speak from experience. I did much the same as you, and for many years I made myself miserable in thinking I had ruined my "one, true chance at love". Yet I am now aware of another, moving towards me in space and time. And the lessons I learned from the woman I once loved will now be guidelines for the one who approaches.

Don't ever give up on love, for it is truly timeless.

I feel your pain but you must try not to regret the things you've done, regret only the things you have not done. Use your past experiences to influence and shape your future as that is one tense of time that you can change, without a machine. /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif

While I agree with the others that all you can do with the mistakes of the past is to use them to inform future events, I don't, presonally, think you made a mistake. Everybody has their own rules about this kind of things, but for me, if a woman is in a relationship, she's off limits. If you're in a relationship, everybody else is off-limits. All your friends' ex-es are off-limits. All your ex-es friends are off-limits.

You may feel pain now, and you may feel a sense of injustice, but to my mind at least, by not getting involved with this woman you did exactly the right thing.
 
Oh you romantic perfectionist, you! I hope that despite the way you met that you are together. The means don't matter if you are meant to be. (Though hopefully, no one was damaged in the process.)

I know whereof I speak because my true love (whom I recognized the moment I saw him) wishes he could time travel backwards and prevent himself from going through his miserable first marriage which continues to present challenges to us even though he was separated long before I met him (I won't bore you with all the details of why we had so much trouble from his first wife).

I have been tempted by the idea of time travelling back and making sure that I met him first, but I realize that it might not work out the way I fantasize because at the time we were very different people than who were when we actually did meet. I'm just happy that we met sometime in this lifetime. Perhaps the way you met your special one was the best way it could have happened and I wish for you a FUTURE of happiness, since the past is now gone... Or is it?

When I figure out how to travel backwards in time, I'll let you know if I fixed my relationship or not!
