I Should Have Told You
I SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU (Or ISHTY) is an online study of regret. ISHTY shines a light on the regret of not saying what we should've said at the moment when we had the chance. Notice the level of regret and the negative effect not sharing these feelings has caused. Maybe something you can share will spur someone to open up with their true feelings, good or bad, and say something so they won't have a future ISHTY of their own.

I should never have told you that I would wait for you. Everyone says my biggest problem is I can't be alone for too long. You were the only one that believed I could be faithful to you while you were gone. I'm sorry you were wrong.

ISHTY that I was married. Now we are both totally in love with each other.. I know if you had known you would have protected both of us from this torture. I thought it would go away - But it's 7 years later and I still love you.We are oceans apart and I think of you every day...

You talk about your weight and your "look" and how it's just not right. I, or someone, should tell you that you have no idea how hot and sexy you are. If you had any idea the things I think about or the parts of your body I look at when we're together you'd probably never want to see me again.

I counseled her on her troubles never telling her that I was not a disinterested party.

I should've told my husband about the affair. I never would've married him had I not thought I'd end up alone if I didn't.

I shouldve told you she was a b**tch. Everyone knew she was a b**tch except for you. Stop dating b**tches.

I should have told Lisa that I would drop everything if I thought I had a chance with her.

I should have told my husband not to worry about getting along with my mom, she doesn't get along with anyone. She's always been jealous of anyone who wants to spend time with me.

I should have told my mother and father thank you for all they did for me when I was going through college. I judged them as interfering and I couldn't have been more wrong. They were trying to help me make my own decisions and giving me the cushion I needed while also making me feel some of my independence. Thank you Mom and Dad. You were the best.

Jena,
I should've told you about my plans for college and that I wanted you to come with me. You found out from someone else and thought I was moving away from you. I'd never leave you. Trust me.

You were right, you're always so bleeping right. I should've fired my agent. You would do so much better for me. Thank you for looking out for me.

When we got married I told you my love for you knows no bounds. I just found out you cheated on me after only 3 months of being married. I think we just found a bound.

I SHOULD TELL YOU that it was me who stole your Mom's pills. I'm sorry I let you take the blame. I have a feeling you suspect it was me and it's ruining our friendship. I'm sorry.

I love the fact that I can sleep with pretty much any man I want to. Someone should tell my friends that I've slept with all their boyfriends - current and former. It's like a little game I play to prove I'm hotter than they are.

Don-
ISHTY: that if it wasn't for you, nothing good in my life would've happened. I love you dearly and treasure you more than anyone or anything in this world. Thank you for always being there.

I should tell you that it does bother me that all my friends' husbands make more money than you do. I think you need to grow up and get a career, not a job.

I shouldn't have told you that I thought I was in love with two people at once. The truth is I got caught fooling around and I tried to lie my way out of it. I still love you and hopefully you can trust me again.

I should've told you BEFORE your big presentation that your opening jokes were not that funny.

Jerry,
I trusted you with my heart. I was blind to the people that cared about me. I turned my back on my family because that is what you wanted me to do. Now, you're in jail and I have no one here for me. I wish I would've told you back when we started seeing eachother that I was my own person and had my own feelings and wants. Instead, I just saw you as an escape from what I thought was a boring existence. You ruined my life, but I let you do it.

I'll join the club. I should have been honest with my wife on how much money I've lost playing online poker.

My dad always told me he'd always be there for me. He was. Unless it was a real difficult situation, then he was always escaping into a 12 pack of Bud. I should've told him not to make any more promises.

I should have told you that I'm so tire of you not treating the things I think and want as if they are important. Stop dismissing me. You are going to wake up one day and wonder why your wife and kids are living in another country.

My mother doted on me when I was a little girl. She was very involved in my school and probably a tad bit over protective. All these years later, I am so happy for the relationship I have with my mother, but I wish she would've raised me to be a bit more independent. That's how I'm raising my daughters and my mother hates it.
