"But he's no Robert"

I guess, in the end (the end being marriage or some time after marriage), it'd be pretty good if I could look back on all past relationships with fondness for lessons learned, memories made and friendships forged. But ultimately, no matter how great past beaus were, I'd simply be able to say, "He is a great person. But, he's no _______". (name of spouse) I think that'd be a pretty good way for things to end.

Who's Robert? Is there something you're not telling us?

Are you related to Thomas S Monson or something? What's with the alliteration? Lessons learned. Check. Memories made. Check. Friendships forged? Maybe some men can be friends with their old girlfriends (it's usually a lie. "Sure, let's be friends" translates into "I still want to be around enough to try for chance number two") but usually it's too awkward.

Way awkward. Maybe.
Too awkward. Never.
Plus I'm not a man.

Robert is my grandfather, about whom my grandmother said this statement. Which made me think that'd be a good ending.

Yeah, forged friendships. I mean, during the relationship. I think we all know where my sentiments lie on the "friends after dating" issue. I don't support it. Unless there has been a sufficient detox period. And then, if it happens, it happens.
