My Aunt is a Dotor and she only let's you call her Dotor when she is in office or hospital. She say Dotor is her profession not her identity.
People insisting on using a professional title everywhere usually comes from a deep sense of insecurity and a need for outside respect.

worked hard to be a doctor, wants to be addressed as such, why is that so wrong, if i worked my ass off to become a doctor, that becomes apart of whom i am, yeah id be pissed being its not just my first name, its Doctor following my first name, or last name.

Breakup text where OP refers to him as Mr. is the only answer.

He would struggle to be a doctor in Australia because many of us are on a first name basis with our Doctors.

It’s weird to expect people you have a personal relationship with to refer to you by professional titles. He does not work with OP’s family, and they are meeting in peoples homes.

I’m a nurse and that commenter is spot on. A lot of people that demand people call them by their doctor title even in an informal setting turns out to be a narcissist who thinks they’re always right and demand full submission and control. This is a major red flag and she should run. He thinks he’s more superior than her and her family, and should earn the right to be considered equal.

It might be a certain Asian culture when they prefer not to be called by first name but title? That’s too much.

As a doctor you’d better not call me Dr outside the hospital. And there only by patients. Never by coworkers

Nah I'd break it off. He takes himself too seriously and gets aggressive over it. That aggressive behavior will not stop at this issue

I've been a neurosurgeon for 22yrs now and my friends and family always call me by my first name because they are my friends and family. I only use Dr at work or a professional event, conferences etc. it makes me feel weird to have my own family members call me by Dr 🤦♂️
