I would have regretted it if I had agreed to marry you vs I would have regretted it if I agree to marry you

The correct phrase is "I would have regretted it if I had agreed to marry you." The use of the past perfect tense "had agreed" is necessary to indicate that the regret would have occurred before the hypothetical marriage agreement. The second phrase, "I would have regretted it if I agree to marry you," is incorrect because it mixes tenses in a way that doesn't convey the intended meaning.
