But a few months ago, he just stopped doing all chores.

No explanation.

When I brought it up to him, he told me that he didn’t need to do them because I do a perfectly fine job on them.

He increased his roommate’s rent to cover the chores he wouldn’t do.

He didn’t seem to care.

But a mutual friend said that he was very upset with me about it. He just didn’t want to directly tell me.

Now, he’s wondering if what he did was right.
