Any kind of partnership between two people is always going to involve two different sets of expectations. I think the key here is understanding what those expectations are, why you both have them, and whether or not they really conflict.
If they do conflict, then it comes down to making a decision--and that is a decision that both of you will have to make. Is it more important to me to continue to have this expectation and everything that comes with it (possibly including the end of the relationship) or is it more important to me to have this person in my life and everything that comes with it (including certain expectations not being met)?
I hope you two reach a higher level of understanding with one another soon.
