Let go. U can’t change the past, u can’t change his behavior, u can’t change any past circumstances. Focus on your new relationships and try to forget that way

I feel u, I had the same problem(still do icl). I reminisce about the past a lot. How things could have been, how things have turned out, unaccomplished goals, things I wish I could have had the chance to do, things I wish I had said earlier. Regret will always be a part of us if we choose to not let go. A therapist or mental health resources can help sure, but u gotta let go. Regret is like a heavy backpack. The more u try to hold on, the more it’s gonna hurt.
