Yes. If this is his conflict resolution system, I can't imagine that this is going to work out very well.

  Yes, the experience last week raised a few red flags for me. I thought I knew him and his working style, but I guess I was wrong. Thanks for the feedback.

    I am sure we are hearing only one side of this story, however it seems to me that this is the beginning of the end. I say this because the trust, which is everything for partners, seems to be gone, and you have been proven replacable (and thus only marginally valuable). I'd suggest save the friendship (whatever is left of it), and move on as quickly and painlessly as possible. See if you can keep some equity in exchange for your initial work, but not play an active role anymore (you will not be happy with him or with the company after your demotion, you will see it as something you helped build and got kicked out of). You can turn this around by getting some equity, thus being a silent and inactive stakeholder, and exiting quietly (you got more than you ever wanted - experience plus money, and he got rid of you without giving away too much).
