Honestly as a technical founder in VR too I understand where you come from but you are wrong on this.

You don't get equity for having a good background, you get equity for being important to the business and damn you got the same amount that a guy that most likely handled a fundraising by himself.

At this stage they are investing in you more than you are investing in them yet you absolutely did not talk about what you actually achieved for them.

Worse only 5 month after signing you are talking about the demotion of your partner who from an exterior standpoint already contributed more than you both in time and in money gained.

I think that :

1) You are not the guy they need. I am sure that you are great but you are just too high maintenance at a stage that is too early for that.

2) You need to run your own show, you sound like the type of guy who have an hard time following others.

If you think that either doing it by yourself or associating with someone who is "CEO material" would be hard, then it can very well be an indicator that you currently are pushing your luck.
