I'll take back about half of what I said. You made it sound in the op that he was really going through some rough times.
But if he is working,and just got a promotion, and just has a few challenges of the new job, then you're not wrong in expecting a little bit of support and happiness for your successes from him.
I'll just say this, some people just can't celebrate or enjoy other's successes. Life is all about them and you'll get a "that's nice", "good job", or some minor pats on the back, but they just don't know how to enjoy somebody else's victories or success.
He can’t be happy for me?
