AITA for expecting my boyfriend to do chores even when he is sick and not getting out of bed?

Me (21f) and my boyfriend (26m) have been living together for about 6 months. Even though he had done chores for the most part before we moved in together, I had to explain to him why they needed to be done regularly, or he would only do them occasionally. For example, trash was one of them. He would leave it in the house for so long I would literally smell a dead raccoon on the floor but it was just the trash can. He is also very messy and leaves things everywhere so I need to pick it up. He knows how to do chores, he just doesn't like doing them. <br>About two weeks ago, my boyfriend brought up that he thought I was a neat freak. He said I was "obsessed with tidyness" and that it was "excessive". I asked him if he believed I should allow his messes to remain around the house forever or if he thought that i should always do all of the chores and clean up afterwards. He said he believed I shouldn't I clean up after him. I told him that was true, I don't clean up after him. I told him that a lot of the messes that I clean up after are his. I told him that if he thought I was crazy for keeping a clean house then he can do all of the cleaning. Then I stopped cleaning and doing chores. <br><br>It has been 14 days since I have cleaned up any messes. The last thing I did was the dishes. I didn't clean up trash. I didn't do laundry. I didn't do anything. The house is getting really messy so there's no doubt in my mind that he knows exactly how much of a mess he has left around. For 14 days he didn't do a single chore. He has just been complaining about how messy the house is. <br>About two days ago he got sick with a fever. He stayed in bed most of the day. I still didn't do any chores. I told him I helped him out by doing all of the cleaning but now it's his turn. He says that I am being cold and that I'm an asshole. He says that he is sick and it's unreasonable I would expect him to do chores. I told him that I did all of the chores including cleaning up after him for over 8 months straight. I think it's his turn. So AITA for telling him to do the cleaning?
