Dillusional?

In October of 08, my brother and his gal pal, along with Rob and myself took a weekend adventure up north for a long weekend. The place was rustic and fabulous at the same time. I always look at my brothers relationship with his chick, they have an awesome connection. Shortly after that weekend, in emailing back and forth with Rob at work, I said, "I wish I had a relationship the way my brother has with his gal"...
I think reading this shocked or upset him as his response was, "I gave you that" or something along those line. Naturally I was completely confused at his response.
He gave me that?? I'm not sure what world he is/was living in...I'm not sure what relationship he was in, that he thought he "gave that to me"???
My brother and his gal are silly, goofy, do separate things, have sex, leave their home, are social...Did Rob think we were like that?
We had no sex. In the year 2006, we never had sex, the year before I think, if we managed to shag 5 times, possibly 6, I was lucky. I had to find it elsewhere near the end of that year, cuz I am a man, have needs and knew this relationship was dead in the water, we were just going through the motions. It was nice to feel attractive again, something I hadn't felt in at least 18 or so months...I didn't even feel guilty when I satisfied my needs with someone else, and still don't. This is something I did eventually confess to Rob about a year later, we had already split. Part of it was so he knew what it felt like-he never got mad and I can only say that was because he had done the same to me, many times over, over the previous 10-12 years. He couldn't possibly say anything, and didn't.
At the same time, we never went out. Leaving the apartment was like pulling teeth. Our weekends would consist of a Wal-Mart run, Sobeys and the LCBO, was that the social life he was talking about? I love my vodka, but drinking one on a patio would have been more interesting. I'm not going to say I was always wanting to go out, but I was easier to move than him. He had his ass firmly planted on my couch.
He chose to sleep rather than shag or have fun with me. Many times as the hours passed on our dull weekends, I would just get so irritated and thought, right, I'm doing my own thing and would float away into cyber-land, or work on a project, listen to music to occupy my time, to entertain myself, as it wasn't happening with Rob.
So in ending this entry, I'm still baffled at how Rob thinks he "gave me" similar things that my brother and his gal pal have between them. The 2 relationships are night and day...I think even if Rob hadn't messed around, and our lives were as they were the last couple of years, this relationship would have ended as that isn't living at all...So be for warned - his idea of fun, is actually quite lame and 0 adventure. Luckily for me, I chose to break up because of infidelities over the years, trust me when I say, I would much rather have split, telling him that he is boring as opposed to being a slag, but hey...Truth be known, I let go of a boring slag - two fold!
