Hi,

Just a general question.

What would you change if you had a Time Machine?

Hypothetically, if you could go back in time armed with this knowledge and understanding of mistakes you both made in a relationship and start all over, what would you do to make it better.

I'm interested in any response no matter how sad/funny they are!!

Fatherly Advice agony auntAh well,

Relationship only replies. Well, I've been in this relationship for some 26 years now. Aside from finding a way to avoid aging, (just kidding). I think some times that If I had fully understood what was coming in the future I would have chosen a healthier partner. That is very sad to think at this age. Of course now I'm not so healthy myself, so perhaps she would say the same. I think I would have held out for one more daughter. I think I would have been more patient, If I knew that the future would bring more and more acceptance. I should feel guilty for all the nights I spent up chatting books online but frankly I would have been reading otherwise, so no loss to the relationship. Mostly we should have used credit cards less and saved money more. Money is a big thing in relationships.

Invest in Microsoft! Finish collage quickly. I would learn more languages...much more difficult now that I'm older. I would travel more. I would know the kind of woman I like. I would date with more boldness. Take exercise more seriously. Surf more. Sail around the world. Do more backpacking. I would do more things for me.

Fatherly Advice agony auntThere was this pack of bullies in one of my grade schools. . . .

It wasn't until much later in my life that I stopped putting up with that. Knowing what I know now, I'd have stopped them.

SillyB agony auntI would have dumped that guy I dated for 8 years after the first 4, worked one year and gone straight into a masters program and been halfway done through my PhD now. I'd also have learned a third/fourth language. Oh, and learned to drive - when my parents said NO I would have forced them to teach me...and then by my early 20's made sure I had a car.

A female reader, anonymous, writes (25 September 2010):

I wouldn't marry at the age of 18, despite the fact that my husband is a wonderfull man. I wouldn't have a child so early, so i became an empty nester at the age of 38. I would be a better mother, and a better wife if it all happened later in my life. I would cherished friends that i had and lost, as a result of not communicating well, i would learn how not to waste my time on those who ment very little in my life.

I would be kinder and more understanding of other people weaknesses.

I would learn 8 languages and travel the world.I would not take things personaly and myself too seriously. I would be smart enough to enjoy every little moment that was good and not pay that much attention to every little moment that wasn't that great.
