Sometimes, as this Shoebox cartoon indicates, decisions, even important ones, cannot be reversed.. and we are faced with learning and adapting in the aftermath of those decisions. Mostly I think about cars when I think about this phenomenon - have I told you about my oil-consuming VW Rabbit? Any decisions or purchases that you are remorseful about?
I have buyers remorse about clothes. Why did I just buy a new pair of pants online when I don't work outside my home anymore and I really didn't need them? On the other hand they are the roll down waist style and might be perfect for me as I sit in a wheelchair. I need to try them on before I feel too guilty :-) They weren't very expensive !

Cathy's admission about clothes hit home. Not trying them on before I buy them. When home sometimes they don't fit or are big time ugly when worn. Why do I do that?
ReplyDeleteI have "buyer's remorse" every time my my volition is enticed and lured by my flesh to believe the promises of sin and to buy into deception and craftiness of a well designed temptation.
ReplyDeleteClothes ~~ They have magic mirrors in the dressing room. I looked adorable in the two dresses I tried on and bought.
ReplyDeleteHowever, at home in my mirror I was totally disgusted and wondered how I had put on 50 pounds from the store to home.
So I guess I buy a new mirror. HaHaHa.
Hmmm, good question. I don't buy much so have no buyer's remorse but I do regret some of my past parenting decisions.
