Maybe you guys are right. Perhaps we're being a little tough on the guy.

But ya know what? With being an adult, comes certain obligations and responsibilities. He is leaving her HOMELESS. This is so that he can save money and chill with his friends. He also does not seem to be making any kinds of personal sacrifices to help his girlfriend out. The fact that he is leaving without really doing anything to help her makes him a prick.

Granted, maybe you guys were too young to move in together. Nonetheless, if he was a real stand-up guy, he would take care of you before any other actions. This means spending as much time as possible to help find you another place to live. Or - even though this may be a horrible, unbelievable idea - take the initiative to get a job while he is in school. I worked for a major supermarket chain as a baker. While I was in college, I still trained there to be able to get a management posistion. By my sophomore year, I had the certification to get one of these jobs. This meant that I was getting paid a lot for part time and, when I graduated, I was able to get a job with a starting salary around $60,000 a year.

Sorry to threadjack. My point is, he is not doing enough to help this girl out. If he truly was a decent guy...not a prick...he would help her find a place to live and have the decency to stay with her until she does.
