(en) quethere are times when I wish I'd never met him — hay momentos en los que desearía no haberlo conocido nunca
c)If the when clause following a noun provides additional information which does not define or restrict the noun - in English as in Spanish commas are obligatory here - translate using cuando:

2. CONJUNCTION1) (=at, during or after the time that)As a conjunction, when can be translated by cuando (without an accent) followed by either the indicative or the subjunctive. Use the indicative when talking about the past or making general statements about the present. Use the subjunctive when the action is or was in the future: cuandoIf [when] + verb can be substituted by [on] + '-ing' in English and describes an action that takes place at the same time as another one or follows it very closely, you can use [al] + infinitive:he arrived at 8 o'clock, when traffic is at its peak — llegó a las ocho en punto, en lo peor del tráfico
