To use three eggs and leave one?

So I'm currently living with exDP as we split up a couple of months ago but neither of us can afford to move out until our tenancy is up very soon. Just for background we split up because he is incredibly lazy, student who doesn't get up until 2pm most days. I always did everything and he also had a small anger issue.
We split food shopping and still eat dinner together just for an easy life.
So today there were four eggs, I usually eat two for breakfast but used three of them to make a cake and left one. Ex will usually have cereal mid afternoon but today we had no milk.
He gets up at 2 and starts shouting at me for being so selfish for only leaving him one egg when I should have known he wanted to eat two for breakfast. Apparently it's very unreasonable of me to make him leave the house to buy breakfast.
AIBU?

Who does the shopping?

If he paid for half and you used 3/4 then YAB a bit U, but having said that, if you still do the lions share of the housework then sod him!

Will he be eating any of the cake?

And tell him that it wasnt breakfast, at 2pm it is lunch and a late lunch at that!

Tell him that it's tough luck and if he wants first go at the eggs then he should get up earlier.

Grit your teeth and count the days until end of tenancy!

We both pay for shopping but there's no fixed system, it's just whoever buys what we need pays iyswim. He's welcome to the cakes, I think he's already had a couple anyway.
I cannot wait to move out, bizarrely I mentioned the other night about going travelling and he suggested we could go together. Errrr no.

Is stop buying food and cooking together! It's just blurring the boundaries evidenced by him thinking you'd go traveling with him!

I bet your glad you have split up. He sounds a dick.

if he asks WTF happened to the eggs, refer to the Two Ronnies' lessons in Swedish sketch. "Y. F. N. V. N. E. X.? I. F. E. 10. M." then look at him as if to say "HTH".

Well clearly this whole "sharing food" thing isn't making life easy afterall. Time to put some proper boundaries up I think.

It's a non-issue. He is still getting his fair share of eggs, albeit in cake form rather than whole. And you are not psychic, how were you to know he wanted 2 eggs for breakfast this morning?

It shows how right you are to be splitting up with him. He seems to think if all is not precisely as he wants it when he gets up he can shout at you, EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE MADE HIM CAKE. Tell him to sod off.
