The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.

The example itself seems like Platonic Prostitution gone rather wrong (for the lady of the night). The guy probably believes It's All About Me, but other than that - I don't think we have such a trope, specifically.
Men who hire prostitutes are shown to be pathetic, and not just in the Lousy Lovers Are Losers way.
Often tiny (in all aspects) or fat/schlubby, tend to be Henpecked Husbands whining about how their wives don't respect them (all the while giving plenty of evidence as to why they aren't worthy of respect) or Salarymen using the prostitute as an impromptu therapist to complain about their bosses/coworkers/family, lacking in charisma or physical attractiveness, have bizarre and disgusting fetishes, etc.
The prostitute herself is often shown sitting there looking bored by his talking or clearly waiting for him to finish already with no change in expression.
