The 44-year-old actress thinks she has made a lot of "wrong choices" in her personal life and believes she would have been much happier if she had never walked down the aisle.
Berry was previously wed to US baseball player David Justice and singer Eric Benet and has a three-year-old daughter Nahla from a past relationship with model Gabriel Aubry.
She said: "I wish I had known then that I was not the marrying kind. It would have saved me a lot of time, heartache and grief over the years.
"I made all the wrong choices when it came to love. I have been an idiot."
Lack of paternal figure
The Monster's Ball star thinks her bad luck in love is because of a lack of a good paternal figure in her life growing up, which led her to embark on unhealthy relationships.
She explained in an interview with The Sun newspaper: "My father left us when I was young and that did affect my life. If I had a good father in my life, growing up, then I do not think I would have made the mistakes I made. I would not have been lost in love.
"I would have had a good role model and known what to look for."
However, Halle - who is now romancing French actor Olivier Martinez - has accepted her past and learned from her mistakes.
She added: "Now, it is like a gift to myself - seeing more clearly and making better decisions."
