Q: I would like to ask the following question on repentance
1. Does repentance wipe out previous sins?
2. Am I always obliged to confess to the one whom I've wronged even if this might bring severe enmity?
3. How do I feel regret during repenting?
A:
1. Definitely, provided the repentance is done correctly.
2. You do not need to confess. Ask him for an apology. If there are outstanding rights then fulfil the rights.
3. Reflect over the immense favours of Allah Ta`ala and the gross abuse from your side. Don't you feel shameful and disgusted with yourself.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
