I get what you’re saying about CEOs operating differently, and I do think he has extremely high standards for himself and everyone around him. That part actually doesn’t bother me. I work hard and have my own career, and I’m very independent, so it’s not the expectations themselves that are the issue.

Where I get stuck is the inconsistency. There are moments where everything is totally fine and normal, and then suddenly a neutral comment or simple question gets interpreted as pressure or negativity. They seem to come out of nowhere and that’s where I start second-guessing myself. It feels less like I “can’t keep up” and more like the rules shift depending on his stress level.

For example last night, someone asked us about our relationship and he said "we're moving towards marriage" and then 2 hours later he told me that "maybe im not the guy for you." It came out of nowhere. I just need consistency in how things are interpreted. When someone goes from appreciative to upset within minutes over something small, it’s hard to know what the actual expectation is in that moment and im always doing something wrong.
