Because all of these things are material things, they won't satisfy you.  You have to find your own peace and serenity, and it starts on the inside, within you.  Look into yourself, dig deep.  What do you want adn what will make YOU happy?

be happy with who you are. the rest when you love yourself, will fall into place. \n\npeople think it is material things, or money that make people happy, however, it is the things that cannot be bought that are the most valuable. \n\nlove, health and happiness.  they are not things...they are everything.   you can't hold them, or buy them, they just are.

LIFE IS A RISK, A JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILES STARTS WITH A STEP.\nTHE BEST WAY TO APPRECIATE YOURSELF IS WHEN YOU ARE TRUELY FULLFILLED, NO MAN HAS THE RIGHT TO DEPRIVE YOU OF HAPPINESS,,,,,,.\nRIGHT KNOW YOU ARE FEELING LOW, BUT GUESS WHAT, DIG OUT YOUR SELF ESTEEM FROM WHERE EVER YOU BURIED IT AND MOVE ON. YOU HAVE YOUR LIFE TO LIVE, DON;T ALLOW NO MAN BRING YOU DOWN. NOBODY IS ABOVE EDUCATION, OR BETTER STILL LEAERN A TRADE! YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE HAPPY GIRLFRIEND.

One aspect of a healthy relationship is happiness, and if you are always catering to his wants then you can't be happy. I'm sure that there is someone out there that will respect you choices and willing  to meet you half way when it comes to making sacrifices. My personal opinion is that you can do better, but you are the only one that cane make the final decision of whether or not you should leave.

Many people feel this way.  First you might try to find out what is depressing you?  (Harder than it sounds)  Why aren't you happy?  I happen to be a person that loves change, and when I'm not getting change (at least every once in a while), I get very unhappy and depressed.  Medications don't always help...I tried them once...didn't work!  It's good that you have a boyfriend who is supportive...that's very important.  Having someone there to support you is something a lot of depressed people don't have.  If you'd like to talk details, feel free to contact me; I'd be happy to help with anything I can.

I am quite happy with my life, but I will not be completely satisfied with it untill I have accomplished what I was put here to do.  And thanks for your answer as well.

It would be for me. Then me and my husband wouldn't have to work our jobs and we could find jobs we would actually enjoy. We could spend more time together too. The money wouldn't make me happy but what the effect of having money would make me happy.

For a lot of reasons, you can just feel unsatisfied with where you are in life.  That's not only restricted to middle age.  If it's been going on for 6 months, you should try and do something about it.  You don't want to be unhappy and you don't want your unhappiness to affect your family life.  Take a good look at things: do you feel like there's something in particular that's missing?  Would you feel more fulfilled if you tried something new and exciting?  I wish you the best of luck.

It really depends on the person. If you manage to find someone with whom you can spend the rest of your life, that's great. If you need more than one partner to be happy, that's just fine too.

Enjoying your job... happiness (and living stress free) is way more important than money.

I'm going through the same thing. And I know someone who went through it and is happily married now. So that makes me optimistic. I guess what I'm saying is NEVER SETTLE... Don't u want to b happy.

WELL YOU HAVE TO FIND SOMETHING YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT.  YOU SEEM A LITTLE DEPRESSED ALSO, LIKE YOU HAVE NOT ACCOMPLISHED ANYTHING, BUT WHAT YOU DONT REALIZE IS YOU HAVE PROBABLY DONE A LOT MORE THAN MANY OTHERS IN THIS CRAZY WORLD...YOU NEED TO LOOK DEEP INSIDE YOURSELF AND FIND SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.  I SUGGEST VOLUNTEER WORK WITH AN ORGANIZATION THAT MEANS SOMETHING TO YOU.  THAT WOULD BE A GREAT START!  AND AS FAR AS A JOB GOES...YOU GOTTA PAY THE BILLS SO WHAT IF YOU DONT LOVE YOUR JOB RIGHT NOW...STOP WHINING ABOUT IT AND MAKE THE BEST OF IT UNTIL SOMETHING BETTER COMES ALONG...YOU ARE NOT ANY DIFFERENT FROM THE REST OF US....NO ONE IS EVER 100% HAPPY ALL THE TIME...YOU NEED TO LEARN TO DEAL WITH LIFE'S LITTLE CURVE-BALLS AND MAKE THE BEST OF WHAT YOU HAVE TODAY!!

Happiness does not rely on possesions...I have been material and now I am on a very limited income.  I am greatful that I can keep a roof over my familys head, we eat well and my bills are paid!  I am happy with that.  I  use a bus, a car would be nice but I manage without it.  I foun d that by focusing on what I have I am much more positive about things.  When I was first unable to work all I could think about was what I couldnt have and I was very unhappy.  Now I thank the Gods for my priviledges, which are many compared to some...;

Just because you have money doesn't mean you will be happy. Besides the love of money is the root of all evil.\nwhy not work as hard as you can and earn the money that you need?

The love of my life. There's always a job somewhere. Be poor and happy or well off and miserable? It's a no-brainer!
