Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : tldr at the end

i was meant to be graduating university in a few months but due to mental health reasons decided to take time off and resit my final year in september. 

because i was meant to be moving out, my friend (a first year student) was going to move into my room instead. but because i am now carrying on my studies i will also be staying in the same house. (i was only leaving originally because once i was no longer a full time student i would have to pay a lot of council tax) 

this all happened about 3 weeks ago and my friend was kept up to date throughout. he mentioned that he didn’t really know what he was going to do but never asked for help or started looking for a new place. 

tonight we were talking on the phone and the house got bought up and he said that he was stressed about it and basically felt that i had screwed him over. after the phone call we were texting and he got mad at me for ‘leaving him high and dry’ despite me telling him that i would be staying in the house 3 weeks ago. (context: usually students find houses in january to move in around august/september but houses are still advertised for students all year round. ie. it’s not hard to find a place)
i replied to him saying that i was sorry that it was a shit situation but at the end of the day it’s not my responsibility to find him a place to stay. he then kicked off and started saying that as soon as he asks me  for help i don’t give a fuck about him despite him supporting me all the time (he does give me a lot of support but i also support him and have done for a few years) 

i’m having a bad mental health day so said i’d talk to him about it tomorrow as it was all getting very intense to which he basically said not to bother and that our whole friendship felt completely one sided and that i was using him for support but as soon as he was struggling i turned my back. 


i just don’t understand what his problem is and why all of this is suddenly my fault and i’m a terrible friend. i’m not going to move out of my house that i love so that he can move in. 

i feel like i’ve done a terrible job at explaining all this, a lot has happened really quickly. it’s all gone from 0-100 within the last hour and he’s gone from being one of my closest friends to suddenly wanting nothing to do with me. 

tldr: i was meant to graduate in a few months and move out of my student house but circumstances changed and now i am staying. my friend was meant to be taking over occupancy but is now really mad at me for ‘screwing him over’ and has turned the whole thing into an attack at me and is saying our friendship is essentially over. AITA?
