Contentment vs happiness

Alot of people are "happy" in their relationships but sometimes they just dont seem to be that genuine happy that you can see in people. so i was wondering what do you think is the diferenece between contentment and happiness. i mean really. i am content where i am and it is comfortable but i am not happy at least at home. but in my relationship i am both happy and content. if you are content even if you are not happy. would you stay where you are because its not all that bad. but i was just wondering what anyone thought on this

To me content, means your just "ok", satisfied to say the least.

Happiness is waking up with a smile on your face and being graceful.

Relationship wise, never settle for being content, go for being happy. If your content with someone, theres something off. Cause most couples are at least happy to be together. =]]

"Contentment" is "Happiness" & "Content" is "Happy"; just usually used with different subtext & depending on it's use in a sentence (however you choose to define it & word it yourself), but similar nonetheless.

For me:
I am content; comfortable & satisfied, as well as happy; blissful & in high spirits, within my relationship. I personally believe that a relationship should have both, but then again it should undoubtedly already have.

So can content turn into happiness with the same person?
or du fink once u reach the content stage u stay at tht stage?

Wat has tht got to do with it?

^ Yes, you can be content & happy with the same person, that's just all in how much YOU feel about that person; whether that person makes you happy & content when in their presence, that person makes you feel content but not happy, if that person makes you happy but you're not content around them, etc., etc., choose your combo it's your choice!

When you are content that doesn't mean that you're happiness has stopped & that's about as good as it's going to get from that person... That's a little insulting, like you think that's all they're cable of or that's about all that they can afford to offer & that there's no way that person could satisfy you anymore than you already are or were.

And when you are happy that doesn't mean you can't be content with that happiness that you received from someone... That's sounds a little selfish, like you think you can do better or deserve better than what you've been given & that you can be happier elsewhere other than with someone who had made you or has tried to make you happy.
