I vaguely knew this couple, they had been living together for about 5 years. Every time I saw the woman, she complained that they weren't married yet. Seriously, it was endless on this one subject. Finally, one day, I said
"Have you asked him why you aren't married yet?"
She said no, she was afraid of screwing it up. I urged her to ask him, and to move forward with the relationship or move on.
A few months later, I saw the guy, and he said they were engaged. Yay! I thought.
Fast forward 5 years. They got married, and they had a daughter. She has a genetic disease which compromises her immune system, and she has multiple medical issues. She goes to school, etc., but she is constantly seeing doctors and being ill.
This has been a regret in my life, and I feel awful about it.
Have you ever given advice which turned out to be awful?![sleep2 ::) ::)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
