Breadwinner's Syndrome
Where a breadwinner of the family treats people outside of his family, in a controlling one-sided way. The breadwinner is not used to compromise, sharing or asking for input, because they are the sole provider and decision maker for their family.
This is a problem outside of the family, where the breadwinner still feels entitled to make the decisions, and pay for the experiences, so he can control the outcome. The breadwinner ends up treating adults like his kids or wife, expecting everyone in the party to be happy because they are the ones providing.

Yeah dude had breadwinner's syndrome... he insisted on taking us to some funky restaurant, we didn't want to eat there and treated us like his kids, expecting us to put on a happy face because "he was paying". We're adults and can pay our own way, and eat where we want.
