Money = Happiness? Not for me...

Tweet

Well my title says it all. Let me start my story... A little over a year ago I was in a very bad relationship. Now while in this relationship one of my friends (now my boyfriend) came at my workplace and spoke to me about how much we love each other...we just couldn't be together cause he wouldn't have the time for me. I stayed in the relationship i was in for a couple months before we broke up. My now boyfriend had told me, he would wait for me cause he sees it in my eyes that I wasn't happy in my relationship at the time. Okay, so I rushed into that relationship, sue me! When we did break up I got alot of pressure from everyone around me and also alot of support. It wasn't a nice period in my life for a few months cause I broke up with the guy. I couldn't take it anymore, he was a control freak! I am happy he showed it early in the relationship though. He tried for months to get me back and I was very alone (no communication with any of my friends) during this time. I often thought of my now boyfriend and I thought to myself...he must have moved on, he wouldn't want me. I then began to think...ah well, when this is all over I'll get a new job and just spend my money on anything and everything I want just to feel happy...and the more I thought about it the more I pondered...how do SOME people really think that material things can bring happiness? I have experienced having everything I want and not having someone around me who cares for me. It doesn't feel good. You can't get love or care from inanimate objects. Well, I was so lucky I have to say. My friend (now boyfriend) was actually still waiting to hear from me. I had called him for his birthday. When i told him what happened he consoled me but at the same time said to me..."I told you it wouldn't work out." and I know why...I never loved that guy, I had always loved my boyfriend, even as friends... We soon got together cause I always loved him and he now had the time to spend with me cause he stopped working on most Saturdays just to spend time with me and calls every night...he was very understanding as we hung out as we used to before i got into the last relationship and had told me only once...when you are ready for a relationship with me, that's fine with me. My now boyfriend and I have had our ups and downs and still have them. We didn't have an argument tonight but I was being...not very nice to him cause I was in a semi-bad mood (hormones ugh!) Well...he told me "good night, sweet dreams, I love you" real fast and I was like, so quickly?! He never says it that fast! He then said it slower... "I love you, good night, sweet dreams, I love you." ...is that better? he asked and I said nothing...I stayed silent for quite few minutes and he then hung up and switched off his phone. I feel like a real jerk. He is always so nice and caring and I reciprocate that but sometimes I just get testy for no good reason or if it is close to "that time" Now, I feel like I did back then, if I lose him I won't be happy and to be honest...I don;t think I;d be able to even bring myself to thinking about surrounding myself with material stuff to make myself happy. It won't help me, ever... We do need money to live or survive but it's not all in the world... Materialism has never been one of my traits. I am a content person and all I want is love...I feel really bad for acting the way I did. I left a voice message saying "good night, sleep tight, i love you." I want to apologize tomorrow, I'd rather not leave a message.
