To be pissed off at my partner ?

My partner travels abroad with his work a lot . He's just flown back home from across the world yesterday for 2 day than he is off again for 8days back home for 2 days and off again for half a month.
I have taken today and tomorrow off work so we can have a bit of quality time.
He's wrecked, tired and struggling to keep conversation up and basically dragging me across town whilst he is sorting his errands.
This is not quality time and I haven't had a chance to catch up with him. He's not interested in anything I say even tho I have a couple of exciting things happening in my life in the near future. This makes me feel little, maybe worthless like I have to respect that he is tired and fair enough but I feel like I'm making an effort here.
AIBU ? Do I ask too much?

He's also taken me out for lunch however I ended up paying for it as he made me feel bad about my ordering too many things. He said he was just joking but I felt a bit embarrassed and I just paid for it. I don't need a man to buy me lunch however sometimes a little treat feels good and I just ordered what I wanted. I don't know at the end it my fault as I couldn't take the joke?

This is no longer working for you.
You know what to do.
It's not gonna be easy but it needs to be done.

Why TF are you doing his washing when he's just sitting down on his laptop and phone?
Is he incapable?

This sounds like a FWB marriage tbh. This cant surely be enough. He isnt respecting you or even exited to see you, I wouldn’t be very happy with that, I feel so bad for you. He sounds rude also with the food thing, are you sure he is the one you want to b with, my partner is amazing and I couldn’t imagine what you have to go through. I know its hard but maybe time to make the jump and live the life you deserve which includes feeling loved.

He sounds like a dick tbh.

I can see what this man gets out of this relationship (someone to keep his life running and make his fave breakfast and wash his clothes) but for the life of me I can to see what on earth you get out of it.

I hope it’s not too late to call off the house sale.

You can do better than this op Flowers

What do you get out of this relationship?
Sounds like a frustrating situation. Is the travel going to continue like this? I'd be considering my options.
