Also, if he really is sponging off you as detailed above, tell the lazy bum to get a job and start pulling his weight. Roommates aren't bad in and of themselves. Roommates who don't chip in their share, however, are definitely not cool.
But specific to the relationship, yeah. They're responsible for their own happiness, and you're responsible for yours. They've both made the decision that they think will lead them to be happy, and it's up to you to do the same. And I promise you that being bitter about what they've decided will not make you happy.

I don't think I'm mature enough to be happy for them just yet
. Like I said, I am angry, but that's my deal and not theirs. I am not going to make them apologize for it, but I do think I am going to keep my distance for awhile. Once I simmer down, and I will, it will be better.
Really, the worst thing is that I was starting to feel really good about myself prior to this, and I have demolished all that hard work in the wake of this. I have to start all over again, and I did it to myself.
Veritas et Lux!
