Hubby and I play the 'what if' game often and it is a good exercise to remind us that we are so totally happy where we are.... a few what if's that we discuss from time to time:
1. "What if... I'd had sex with the guy before him"...(who is very hung, but a really big dick, personality-wise)...that's alway good for a big laugh. I may have the smaller (ahem) guy, but I def got the BESTEST.
2. "What if ...he never asked me out because I was a little loud and flirty in school" (and he is very quiet and introverted, but we are a great team.) and finally,
3. "What if...we had waited until we got back home from visiting his grandparents that weekend to have hot, torrid romp in the bed. What if we'd listened to our gut and not had unprotected sex that weekend?" (we'd been married a couple of years) We would not have our wonderful daughter (only child).. Would probably have been childless.
There are some what if's you can look back on your life and say that you are happier with the choices you made. Even though at the time, it might not have sounded like such a great idea. Sometimes it is good to look back and see where you could've been and be grateful for where you are.
I never look at a 'what if" (history) with regret... too much pain... and truthfully does no good at all.... only look at the decisions that have made you who you are today ....
