AITA for not wanting my ex boyfriend to sleep on the floor

My ex and I broke up about a month ago due to him cheating long term and generally sabotaging the relationship. Now we’re sleeping in separate rooms. The way the house is set up, we slept together in the master bedroom but since it’s still kind of small and we had a king bed, only his stuff fit in that room. There’s a smaller room with a twin bed that all of my clothes and personal items are in, so it’s sort of been my room the entire time we’ve lived together

I am fine with the arrangement of me sleeping in the smaller room on the twin bed for a number of reasons while he keeps the bigger bed. And I’ve explained my reasons.

Here is the conflict: my ex thinks the twin bed is the worse bed (and I agreed before I got a nice foam topper for it), and that because he cheated he morally does not deserve a better bed than me. So if I sleep in the twin bed like I want to, he’s decided he must sleep in the floor to keep things morally correct (although apparently this doesn’t count as a punishment)

I find it upsetting because, cheater or not, I still care about his health and quality of life. I’ll admit to starting two fights over it already with the main issue being the fact that it makes me feel like he’s punishing himself or me by sleeping on the floor and I generally find it upsetting, but according to him since we aren’t in a relationship anymore I’m not supposed/allowed to care.

So AITA for getting upset that my ex is sleeping on the floor and starting fights over it?
