Man brings exactly the medication the OP said wouldn't work for her instead of the medication she very clearly asked for.
What was he supposed to do conjure up a packet of Lemsip from thin air? He brought her what she wanted and needed a pain-killer, probably paracetamol, and probably from the stock the hotel keeps for guests. To insist it's not in the correct form for her is pretty 'princessy' in my book. If she was as really really ill as she has said, she would have taken it.
If I was abroad with a friend with a cold who turned their nose up at paracetamol but was insisting I go out to get a paracetamol drink solution instead, I would be tempted to leave them to it frankly.
Man apparently doesn't know that other human beings, as well as him, need to eat unless told at each meal time.
Jesus wept.
Odd? Man assumed that when someone says to him "I didn't feel like having dinner" they meant what they said. OP is a grown up, if she meant she didn't want to eat out then she should have said that and so please could you bring me something back. She's complaining that he couldn't read her mind to know she meant the opposite of what she said.
Yes, of course she wasn't seriously ill but by my yard stick this man is self-involved and/or doesn't care about her very much.
That's it.
That's fine but 64% of posters disagree with you.
Plenty of people don't recognise this conclusion because, rightly or wrongly, their expectations of partners are considerably lower than mine and some others. Fair enough, whatever makes you happy.
No that's your 'conclusion' because most posters don't agree with you - that's a very sweeping statement to make that other posters have 'considerably lower' expectations than you. Many posters have said upthread that they have caring partners but don't agree with OP's attitude and would have different expectations of them in the scenario OP has given. I do wonder about some of the posters saying "how dreadful, OH would do xyz for me as we've got a wonderful relationship" and then condone a women who spends her whole thread basically slagging her OH off and belittling everything he does - frankly I wonder how many of those partners agree with your idea of a wonderful relationship (or maybe their expectations of their partners are low?)
Incidentally, for the very literal-minded posters, the 'feeling like I was suffocating' thing is clearly a descriptor of symptoms and her own sense of them, not a literal statement that she was actually unable to get enough oxygen into her body or was accumulating fatal levels of CO2.
See also "I thought I was going to die of embarrassment" and "it felt like my throat was on fire", amongst other turns of phrase in order to avoid future confusion.
'Feeling like I was suffocating' I had assumed was OP's description of her symptoms, but obviously she wasn't actually, she was describing a feeling. "I thought I was going to die of embarrassment" is hyperbole which wouldn't make much sense in that context. However, reading back over OP's posts, I wouldn't be surprised if she has a tendency to use hyperbole and exaggeration to make a point. There are lots of gaps, assumptions and her timeline doesn't make sense.
The negative way OP talks about her BF and how anything he does is not good enough is pretty unpleasant to read. I hope, if they stay together, she will work on this and also learn to speak up and not expect others to be mindreaders. He probably needs to learn that she does this and ask her more questions.
