Because all of his friends have some stupid thing for Call of Duty that he doesn't, and I asked him to wait until Monday (payday) because it is $50.... but I gave his mom $10 to buy medicine.
This is exactly how my brother in law was with my sister. If she dared ask him anything when he was on COD, which was all the time, he'd fly off the handle and shout at her to go away. This went on for years until my sister had enough and moved out. It took her moving out, leaving him alone with all the bills, housework, cooking etc to realise how good he had it. They're getting on ok now and slowly getting themselves together. He's off the computer and spending more time with his wife and kids. I know its not always the answer, but maybe he needs a kick up the arse and a few days with you gone to open his eyes a bit. Sounds like he's very complacent and just takes it as a given that you're there to put up with his crap.
