From a grammatical point of view, either expression may be used.
Usage: One is content with or to something, or contented by something.
In the context of the question, both Webster's Dictionary and The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language state that 'contented' means 'satisfied; content.' One is also given as a synonym of the other. However, if there is any difference between the meaning and use of the two words, this can be explained by considering the following, more narrow, definitions: * contented means 'being satisfied with things as they are' or 'showing satisfaction with things as they are' * content means happy, satisfied, wanting nothing more, having a mind at peace. So there can be a subtle shade of difference between the two expressions. However, the meanings are so similar that either can be used (in the context of the question asked above) without any noticeably perceptible change in meaning.
