Time Wasted With Rob - My Biggest Regret!!

Well another summer weekend upon us. Spent some time with Jonathon yesterday was nice. A bite to eat and after some "home" drama, we went to his place. He lives in a condo down the road. Was nice to be with someone who has their own place. Unlike Rob, I had to go to mummys place when we went to "his place" - The idiot still lives at home like a kid. Someone again, I forget who, asked how long Rob and I were together and when I told them they were shocked. People dont realise that allot of my younger years were spent with my then partner, from 22 to 38 - thats a long time. I have to say Im proud that I know I was able to dedicate, commit to someone for that long. In dating Jonathon, I find that Im not so concerned about committing full on. Im enjoying hanging out, meeting his pets, goin for a drink or just hanging out at my place. Its nice to get to know someone little by little. Its all new to me and Im enjoying it. I hate the fact that, as much as I despise every ounce of that queer mess, Rob, when I tell tales, he's usually part of them, having done whatever I did with him. My friend Kristie said to me, to start saying, "years ago I..." so Ill have to try and incorporate that into my vocabulary. Jonathan is a colorful character, in many ways. Rob was dull as dishwater, especially that last little while. Jonathon admits to a colorful past and at this age, most people have one..I have grown to accept that, we arent 18 yr old virgins anymore. Jonathon admits to his past and present for that matter, although we arent committed to each other, just dating, he doesnt hide it from me. Rob, while we were committed to each other, didnt admit anything and did everything behind my back. That is the difference that broke trust between us. By having Jonathon be totally open with me, in telling me what his life is like, what he does etc, is refreshing in the sense that, I dont feel like I need to poke around for info. Sure I ask questions as does he...He isnt afraid to tell me like it is..I find Jonathon to be a cute little thing that is growing on me. Im glad we met up and whatever comes of it comes of it. While having a bite to eat, talk in about weight and all that, what we eat and what not, seeing as he is so thin and can scarf anything down and not put on a pound...I said to him, call me in 5 years when youve gained weight, he said, "Better yet, come see me" - which was nice. I will...Rob was so secretive, so secluded, so boring. Jonathon is the complete opposite and a welcomed change..Time wasted with Rob is my biggest regret!
