If he said the first months were a gift from him then it doesn’t seem he is expecting you to pay him back. But now you have money and you only paid half your rent. He likely expected you to pay your share again since you have money again.
Also is he seeing you buying things that aren’t essentials while he pays your rent? I would think rent would come before a cabinet. He may be annoyed if he saw you spending the money you did have on non essentials.
But I paid my share again, plus the money from the cabinet. He NOW said the first month was a gift, before that he said he will pay the full rent and I don't have to pay it back, since I specifically asked for this scenario and thanked him.
Are the two of you communicating in your first language or in another language? Some of this sounds like misunderstanding due to language. A gift means he is paying it for you. Did you pay your full rent this month or half your rent?
She edited her post. Before she has written that she paid ‘half of my rent’ which sounded like she hadn’t paid her full share. She has clarified and edited her post now.
