How I feel about myself after?
There are several things I wish I hadn't done, but I've never beaten myself up about them.
It struck me many years ago that regret over something in the past is very useless. You can't change it, you can't alter what lead you to making that decision - the most you can do is learn from the event, and not repeat it.
I gave myself permission to make mistakes, to not be perfect, and as long as no-one (including myself) was injured by the event, I was able to let things go.
One of those things was my marriage. As a result, I seldom think of my ex, and when I do, I really don't think badly of him. If anything, I feel sorry for him. Apparently he hasn't done the same, because the kids tell me that he consistently bad mouths me. .... Poor man, having to live in the past.
The point is, is that you decide how you react to an event, and how much power it has over you and your future actions.
