maybe its because I'm jealous of her looks? she's supersuper pretty, and i'm just average (or ugly actually). why does she get the looks and I don't?

i just want her to honestly be happy, and get goood grades, is that so much to ask for???

anyway, I don't know why I put her through so much hell..I feel like I'm emotionally abusing her..and I can't stop...I feel like a monster when I'm around her
In my opinion you are pushing your own model of the world onto her which you shouldn't. Let her live her own life and help her where necessary, but on her terms. But; why should you get mad because she fails a year? That's her problem; not yours. Live your own life.

Are you in some way afraid that people will like her more because of her better looks and therefore there is not enough left for you? You are focusing on the wrong things; it is probably very hard in the beginning to practise, but you really should be focusing on what you want to create in your own life. You might even want to move out for a while, because now you are confronted with the anchored feelings every day. Jealousy comes from a scarcity mentality; start building your own life and find your strengths and the jealousy will go away.

Good luck!
