Jealous Boyfriend..I have made some major life changes for the better. I am going to college as a result. My bf said he was happy for me, but, he is envious of this. He is mad because he will have to take care of me while I'm in school. Why is he jealous of me??

What I see is not so much is he jealous of you today as much as hes afraid that once thru school, you may not want him and will move on past him. A lot of guys are afraid of women showing them up as the bread winner of the family, but on the other hand you have no guarantee that he will be the one you want to spend your life with so you must decide whats right for you here. Good luck
He could be afraid of losing you to a whole new world he doesn't understand/isn't a part of.
He might be worried that you'll meet other guys, make new friends at college, and start drifting apart.
He could be feeling insecure and a little depressed at the thought of you being successful while he does whatever he does now. Maybe he resents the opportunity that you have?
Basically, it could be a whole number of things. But rather than filling your head with speculation and worry, why not sit down and talk to him directly when he's in the right frame of mind.
Not saying it's always necessary, but I find a few beers helps lower inhibition and gets people speaking their minds a lot more openly...
