This introspection highlights the complexity of regret, suggesting that it often stems from failing to prioritize one’s own needs amidst the demands of relationships.

The speaker noted how common it is for people, particularly women, to end a marriage believing they can find greater happiness elsewhere. However, the reality may not be as straightforward.

The belief that personal happiness should always come first can complicate the motivations for marriage, leaving both partners feeling uncertain about their future.
