We are both 19 (I’m almost 20) and we have been dating almost 11 months. A bit of a background info: Last year at college I pretty much bombed because of not knowing how to study, and then I just lost all of my confidence and just couldn't do well until I got some help (which I did over the summer).

For this next school year, I wont be living in dorms. I have a very nice apartment. It is a loft style place in a brand new high rise very close to campus, making it very expensive. Right around $817 a month including utilities. My girlfriend on the other hand is still living in dorms because she has a full ride to her college (we go to different colleges) and room and board is included in that, so it would be silly for her to get an apartment.

One day my gf and I toured my apartment and she was just in awe, and the jealousy started to come out right away. I could tell she was bothered by it, and she even pointed out to the guy giving us the tour that my parents were paying for it, not me. She has made it very obvious she is jealous. She has been complaining to her parents about it, even to all of her coworkers, who happen to be mutual friends. 

I am very use to the whole jealousy thing. I've been a very privileged kid all my life and had to deal with it a lot growing up in a small destitute farm town. But I'm not use to dealing with it from a significant other.

The way she justifies her jealousy is that: "why should you get an awesome apartment after doing so bad at school? Its like your parents are rewarding you for nothing." I've tried to explain to her that I'm not being rewarded, my parents can easily afford to put me up in a nice place, and the difference between it and the cost of dorms is just a few hundred dollars. But any reasoning I try doesn't seem to help. 

And even in comparison it’s almost the same price of room and board at the college I go to, about 10grand a year including a meal plan, but not that that really matters.
