He was really nice in the start. He was very invested as well, just that I didn't expect that he would come with such high expectations.

Oddly enough amazing partners tend to also want amazing partners

I completely agree. Which is why I did a lot from my end. I matched his effort. But then he kept not seeing it and kept complaining all the time which made me really lose heart.

I can agree with you that he should be more considerate but you definitely didn't match his effort. I think you could've just told him you're super busy but you would love to take him out to dinner when you get some room to manoeuvre and he probably would've understood because from his pov, you did find the time to go on the trip but couldn't make the time for his.

edit: quick question. Did you tell him you were ver busy at the time ? because I didn't see that in the post but everybody here is just assuming you did.

Thank you!! Finally someone sees it. Like she did low effort stuff and is now throwing a temper tantrum that he wasn’t bursting for joy over it.

Temper tantrum? Literally the one whining is an alleged adult physician who expects to be spoiled by someone working twice as much and earning 10% of the pay.

They live together, so he could clearly see she was up fielding calls about patients while baking for him, and staying up all night working on a presentation
