My (F25) boyfriend (M30) does absolutely no chores at our house. Is it okay for me to stop doing chores and start being messy to teach him a lesson?

Tldr: boyfriend does no chores and I want to stop doing them too to teach him a lesson.

We've dated for 7 years and lived together 5 of them. Last year we had a long distance relationship due to work and we lived in separate towns. We moved back together this spring and since then my boyfriend hasn't done the dishes, laundry or cleaned in any way more than five times. I've told him to clean more and every time I bring it up, he says to "stop nagging about it". Last week I told him that I'm tired of being his mom and basically keeping this household together. Nothing has changed since last week and I'm running out of options.

Is it okay for me to start being as messy as him? Start leaving the dishes around the house and doing laundry only for myself? Or leaving shoes in the middle of the hallway and stop taking the trash out?

We both have lived alone at some point in our lives so it's not like he moved out of his familyhouse straight to our house.
