I can relate to the feelings presented in the post, but they look to me like whining.

I understand the value of expressing feelings in a relationship.

However the author makes us (developers) look like little girls that need taking care of. I have never been in a startup (just in similar circumstances), but I doubt this is productive in such an environment.

I would better appreciate the same feelings analyzed from another perspective -- how to understand yourself better what to do and tell your partner and use this understanding to move forward.
