To me, I just seem to notice a few men over the age of 50 who also seem to do the same thing. Just my 2 cents.

It gets to the point of manipulative/controlling when I agree to go for pizza but he still gets mad if I order something for myself other than pizza. He's a generally awful person to be around, but I'm kind of stuck taking care of him because he's old, has health problems, and everyone else in my family have washed their hands of him because he's a miserable #######.
