"It's all his way or no way. No, he's never said that. His past actions over the last 23 years tell me that. When I tried to talk to him about my needs and what I wanted and it didn't mesh with his he walked away and wouldn't talk to me. Then, he would never allow me to bring it up again. He shut me down over and over."
To me this sounds a bit familiar, passive aggressive emotional abuse. People who withold affection and blame you for your feelings and think you are trying to get the last word when all you are trying to do is get them to understand.
