Christmas

I was so disappointed I was short on money during my winter vacation, and could not afford to buy all my family members and friends presents. I regret buying my boyfriend a very expensive Christmas present. My boyfriend asked me to buy him a PlayStation 3 for Christmas. He got me a job when I moved to Los Angeles to attend Mount St. Mary's College and I thought he deserved it. My family and friends understood how much it meant for me to make my boyfriend happy. They did not mind receiving their Christmas presents late, which made me feel relieved.
I was so excited when I bought my boyfriend his PlayStation 3 and decided to give him his Christmas present early. He loved his present and, even though he bought me an“ipod shuffle” I loved it and was happy as well. However, a couple of days after Christmas my close friend told me my boyfriend had confessed to her that he has cheated on me. I felt betrayed I was so angry and disappointed in him. I regret working so hard to save up for his Christmas present and not even buy my own family their presents on time. I was not only disappointed at my boyfriend during Christmas, I was also mad at myself for not realizing that my family always comes first.
They are the ones I can trust and count on when I am going through difficult times. I apologized to my family, and they were very understanding. They were more concerned about my heartbreak with my boyfriend and advised me to have a talk with him. It might have been some type of misunderstanding, but it was difficult to look at my boyfriend in the eye. My boyfriend explained to me that what my friend had said was a horrible lie. Unfortunately, she was jealous of the fact that she saw me happy with my boyfriend and made the whole story up to try to break us apart. I also had a talk with her and she apologized as well, but now I know I can never trust her. As for my boyfriend, we are still trying to work things out, but no matter what happens, my family will always come first in my heart.
