Growing With A Friend/Newb.. Need some advice.

Recently, I broke up with my long time girlfriend and my living situation changed. I no longer have the space needed for growing anything worth-while. BUT A few months ago, I sold a batch to an old friend who showed interest in cultivation after seeing some of my tubs and knows people who are interested in eating alot. He has plenty of extra rooms in house, he bought some supplies of his own, and borderline begged me to grow at his house and teach him the process. Seemed like a win-win. Not so much...
It's been a few months and we've made progress but, more or less, it's me driving 40 mins to his house, cleaning up his mess, working my ass off mixing and pasteurizing, making tubs, and everything else by myself. I let him take over making WBS jars and like 10 out of 60 jars fully colonized. All the spawn I've been using are jars I made myself. I've made most of the tubs by myself while he's out, or asleep, or smoking weed on the couch.
On average I work about 18hrs/week at his house. Sometimes I work 12-16 hours non-stop making tubs by myself. They grow beautifully and without even sending me a text, he harvests them before I even see mature fruits. That's happened a few times. I left a tub from one my previous grows at his house that he contributed to in no way and he harvested it without telling me and shows them to his girlfriend like they're his. The first few tubs I made, he didn't maintain. They shriveled up after 1 flush. I try to teach him but, it seems like he doesn't hear a word I say. I have to tell him the same things 25 times and he still wont do it right. But he acts like he knows what he's doing, everything's under control, and he owns everything.
I'm a very clean, organized person but, I'm not unreasonable. Cleanliness and Mushrooom Cultivation go hand in hand. He refuses to clean! He doesn't even clean up after himself. Every time I go over, I have to dedicate 1-2 hours just cleaning before I get started. Then, I have to go see all the shit he's doing wrong and add his work on top of what I'm already doing. Last time I went to his house, I had him help me. I told him I wanted to clean a little bit before I go so I don't have to do it next time. He told me he was tired, went upstairs, sat on the couch and smoked a blunt, while I cleaned up by myself.
I've spent years doing this. I like to do things right with attention to detail. I have respect and appreciation for the craft. My partner has been the complete opposite. I said alot of this shit to him already but, I guess he just thinks I'm being an asshole.
This is a very short summary of the situation but, in a nutshell, it's fucking frustrating. Should I try a different approach and attempt to work things out? I don't have another space to grow so, I can deal with his shit or take a break, indefinitely.

Get as far away from him as possible and never contact him again.

I'm not worried about self incrimination. I'm fine. I'm looking for advice from peers.

I'm not going to explain anything involving money. I'll just say you're wrong. Troll elsewhere....

That's a short statement, not an explanation. Why are you trying to point out these types of things anyway? All done...
In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion

I don't know what you want to hear. You don't have anywhere to grow at your place...and your friend is dirty.
Ask another friend....?
We can't get you a bigger place so there isn't a whole lot to suggest. Why can you grow at your place? A minimono fits almost anywhere.

People in this forum are SERIOUS about not selling, bud. It's in the rules that even talking about it is ban worthy. No one is trolling, that's just the way it is here. If you can't grow on your own, then don't grow. Having more people involved is dangerous, especially if they behave the way you say your friend behaves.

A mini mono will produce more than any one person and a few friends could eat, so if it's not about money you have your answer

Friend lets him take pics a few days ago tho
I take pics of all my fruits. I know how I prepped it and what I used. I use different substrates and different mixtures. I take pics to compare results.
WTF is your point?
