• Am I the bad guy for celebrating my grade with another guy instead of my boyfriend?

• Understanding another person's cognitive and emotional state is a basic tenet of empathy. You might not want to live in an apartment with four roommates, but you'd be thrilled for a friend who has experienced homelessness if they moved into such a living situation! You'd be especially happy if they expressed their own happiness about this development with you. If you can't be happy about something that wouldn't necessarily make you happy for somebody else, then you need to at least fake it till you make it! It's very difficult to be in a relationship with someone who cannot be happy for you; it's going to be a long road ahead if you choose to proceed with such a partner.

• This guy is clearly too jealous to maintain a healthy relationship with his girlfriend. He doesn't provide her with the emotional support she asks for, and when she gets it elsewhere, he freaks out! If he's willing to ignore his girlfriend over something as minor as her talking with her male classmate, then maybe he didn't want to be with her that much in the first place. Behavior is a language, and his behavior demonstrates that he doesn't think that his girlfriend's hard work is worth celebrating. She should ditch this guy and focus on her relationships with the people who actually want to see her succeed.
