I don't think that you should be sad about the past. Yes, there are some things that you believe that you could have done better, but could you really?
1 - I don't think that you can ask someone for too much, if it comes from a place of love and caring. 2 - We're all selfish, you could say this about anyone in your life, your kids, your parents, your best friends. It's human nature and Madonna sung it best - I'm not sorry. 3 - If you didn't know what his needs were, then it's actually his fault. He def knew what yours were, see point 1 (LOL). You cannot mind read, so don't even try, ever.
We're adults, we have learnt that which we could never teach ourselves. Life stepped up and said, howz bout an extra serving of the brown stuff, and no, we never had a choice. So if you never had a choice, how can you regret it.
we can't go back in time either. So leave it there, in the past. Live for today and you will never be sad.
Just cos things are going right, doesn't mean that they were always wrong.
