Housewives of Regal Rd...

Its funny how you never realise how many people know you, know of you or or just notice you on a day to day basis. Over the last few weeks, Ive had more people come up to me in regards to my last relationship, with Rob,asking his whereabouts etc. More people have asked me in the last 3 weeks or so, than they did when I would walk the streets with glossy eyes, a puffy nose and bags under my eyes...Today for example on my way in, this fellow queer who lives on my floor, asked me almost in excitement, "wheres your partner?, I haven't seen him for a while." I told her we were through and I got the "sooo sorry" bit. I told her "it's his loss, lying, cheating, is not what I'm about - I'm over it", I finished our chat with, "its all about me now and nothing or no one else". She said, I had a great attitude and that I looked great. I loved that, I can get that even after a gross days work, like today. A few weeks back, while doing laundry, I bumped into a few of the "housewives" of Regal Rd. Chats were started in regards to laundry and then more personal subjects such as work, the news, Michael Jackson(at the time) and so on...
They eventually asked about Rob. I was waiting for it, as these are people I see on a more regular basis within the confines of Regal Rd. Again I told them we had split in every way. I heard one say, "he was a nice guy". The other one caught me rolling my eyes, which I thought was hilarious. Anyways, one of the ladies said, "no??". The older of the 2 there, said how she had broken up due to her suspicions that her partner was being unfaithful. I kinda smiled, and said, "same here". I think they were more interested, in a "housewives" way, you know...gossip. So I obliged, I love the gossip scene. I didn't go into the details the lay within these pages, it was more of a watered down version. But as always, its funny to see reactions, and hear what they have to say. Most people have said, "i didn't think he was like that at all...?"
Its interesting to me how people's opinions switch when they find out certain things. Their perception of Rob was wrong, or so Ive been told. Its never exploitative, if that's a word. Its just me telling history, there's nothing wrong with that. The "housewives" chat was a fun one, 3 "girls", storytelling. Interesting to hear about others, you can sort of judge your own life, next to theirs. I talk to much about my own life, my past, including suicide attempts when I was younger, crazy things Ive done etc, with not a bit of embarrassment or thought of what others may think of me. I guess I'm comfortable with my past at least. I'm not easily embarrassed but at the same time, its never really bothered me what others may think of me, its not a thought in my head. Love me, like me or leave me, that's up to the individual. If Rob knew what others, or certain people think of him now, I think he would crawl under a rock as Rob has never been able to take any negative criticism, or any in general. He tries to be picture perfect but fails miserably.
