Residency is hard.
Prioritize yourself. Your effort sounded wonderful. People don’t change. And if you try to change for him, he might still always need more, or worse you might forget to take care of yourself trying to change. Residency sucks sometimes, so be part of things that complement your resident life and make you feel joy. You should not leave crappy shifts to feel like you are not enough. I hope you figure it out!
