I can relate to this thread. But most of my major wrong decisions have come from simply not listening to my inner voice:

- Something told me that my ex-wife just wasn't the right person for me, but I married her anyway out of fear that I wouldn't meet anyone better or more attractive. Now, I find myself again struggling to fight off the emotional abuse she winged toward me at the end - and that happened 10 years ago.

- I was so desperate for money about 6 years ago that I took a job that I knew would blow up in my face and set me back both emotionally and psychologically- as well as my career. Every ounce of my being told me to walk away. But I took it anyway and within a year all of my worst nightmares about the place came true. Again, I sold myself short. I actually felt blessed when they canned me.
