[Serious] How do you get over your past mistakes? [Please Don't judge me]

Nobody's perfect, times heals if you stop living in the past.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

I slept with a married woman. I didn't know she was married the first time, but after I found out, I slept with her again. And after I broke up with her, I slept with her again the next time she showed up on my doorstep. I was old enough that I shouldn't have been ruled by my hormones; and in particular it was something I thought I would never do. I think it's those things that stick with you, the exceptions you make to your own rules, the failures to live up to your own standards. I was a shoplifter in my teens, I don't beat myself up over that, though I'm not proud of it; but the married woman thing is what I really wish I could undo.

That's been about 24 years ago, I'm in a sound relationship now, and I don't think about it much. My libido has settled a bit, and I'm kind of relieved about that, tbh.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

I don't think we ever 'get over' our mistakes.  If we did, the world would be filled with nothing but dispassionate arsewipes.

But, as has been said, we can embrace them and learn from them.  My past current mistakes are part and parcel of who I am.  At the very least, they've taught me to hesitate before doing something that stupid again.
