I liked this post. The existence of a path is probably why regret hurts so much, right? Imagine you never asked out Claire/Chris a decade ago despite the seeming chemistry, you might feel regret pretty strongly because the path of happy co-living/parenting is so plausible from any nascent romantic relationship. Even if you might've broken up months later, THE PATH TO SUCCESS WAS SO VIVID. Basically it's Before Sunset:

Jesse: God, why weren't you there in Vienna?!

Celine: You know why!

Jesse: I know, I mean, I wish you would have been . Things might have been so different in our lives.
