I guess mojo will have to answer whether she has challenged GP at all or not followed his "advice" and how he handled it. To me that would be the bigger clue to whether he is controlling or just opinionated.
I would say that mostly I challenge him by teasing him. He states an opinion and I take it to a natural conclusion that he might not have anticipated and then he responds by saying "I see. You've got jokes... That's okay. You got me this time but your time will come. Yes, your time will come (deep baritone chuckle)"
