AITA for leaving my best friend’s phone bill
I (25M) and my best friend (24M) have been through a lot. We’ve been homeless together. We moved out of our home state together. We have done everything together for a long time, and I decided once I got a job and he got a job to go on a plan together. Granted, it was only 50 bucks each for us because it was a cheap company to go through. I have been on that phone plan for a little bit. I now make decent money, and he doesn’t have a job now because he quits every job he has because of one thing or another. I have been paying his portion on the phone bill for four months now. And I finally decided enough is enough, so I went to go get my own phone bill.
After everything we have been through, he decides to say that I fucked him over because I left and got my own phone bill because he hasn’t had a job for a while and refuses to get a job because he doesn’t like the jobs that are available. He has removed me off of everything. We were like brothers. I feel like I just lost a piece of me, but I’m just sitting here wondering, like, am I in the wrong?
I’m using a throwaway account so he doesn’t find this and come yelling at me about it and saying that I’m in the wrong and all this stuff, because I feel like I’m not, but at the same time I kind of feel like I am.
*EDIT*
Yes, I told him that I would be switching months prior because I was looking into the Internet that my new company has and I’m in a roommate situation and my roommates Internet sucks and they wouldn’t let me upgrade it so I got my own and I told them I was going to do that so they knew months in advance that I was switching the main point here is they don’t have a job and they were my best friend so I was OK with it for a little while, but now that I have bigger bills that I need to deal with I can’t afford to have him hanging on any longer and I told him once he gets a job he can come onto my phone bill, but I guess he doesn’t remember that
