I agree with Bonaire to a point. I too had someone that would ask me for help if she had a problem. But it was like Bonaire explained - the tone of the question was semi sarcastic and demeaning. Like I should've known she needed/wanted help before she asked. And when she did ask, it was like I should've been a mind reader and known before she asked.

Well, part of me felt bad for not paying attention but the other part of me left her alone cause I figured she was in control of what she was doing.

Could be that he had something on his mind that he didn't tell you about. Could be a million different things. But how would you know? That's what communication is for.

I can't make a call cause I wasn't there, or able to hear both sides. But I definitely think a calm chat is in order to understand the why's and how comes. Can start with - "Hey honey, how come....."

Good luck!
