i heart [buying my own jewelery]

Some days, I feel like such a big loser. Not really cause I am single- I can see why my relationships shouldn't of worked out, but because I think that I am a good girlfriend and these jerks are the ones who break my heart. wtf? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Furthermore, I see people in relationships treating their partner bad, and they never get broken up with. This seems to happen ALL THE TIME.
I think I get this from my mom. We were talking about how we were never the girls to get jewelery from boyfriends. And my mother said:
"Not like its a bad thing. All my girlfriends who got jewelery either demanded from their bfs that they get it or were given it cause their bf 'owed' it to them."
So its kinda like that. I can be a loving, caring girlfriend, that isn't overbearing or jealous, that doesn't expect or demand a man to change for her, doesn't flip out when he doesn't want to go to the movies cause he's sick, doesn't bad mouth friends or family, says what she wants and needs instead of crying about not getting it, doesn't cheat or even want/try to, I put out (sorry mom), I'm good looking, smart and relatively witty & fun i didn't put on pressure to get married or move too fast and what do I get in return? A breakup and no jewelry. Fan-tastic.
And it does bother me that those ex's have girlfriends and wives(gross). I bet even the hairless wonder has a serious gf (heck he coulda been married, whatever). It's not necessarily cause I want to get married soon or even be in a long term relationship (I'm obviously not ready for one-ha) but i should have men -or rather the men I've had should- want to be with me. Right?


Anyway, I can be content being single, and I did find the most FIERCE gold bicentennial coin-turned into a necklace at the AIDS thrift on Bainbridge.
Kinda like this, but shinier:
