This is a question Control Freaks

Peej writes, "My mate Tony's dad used to weigh the breakfast cereal in the morning to make sure everybody got an equal amount and the pack provided the exact amount of servings advertised on the packet. I learned from this that the recommended serving size on a cereal packet isn't enough to feed a sparrow."

Sound familiar? Tell us more.

old sort-of friend
had learning difficulties and was placed on a "vulnerable" list.
ended up with a controlling bastard of a fella who only let her out of the house once a week to go shopping. she had an hour to get everything done and, if she wasn't back, he'd call the police and report her missing. due to her vulnerable status, they actually went looking for her and brought her back home to that prick.
so glad she dumped him, i had foreseen bad things if she'd stayed.

Quite possibly the most literal answer to the question so far.

My retarded cousin is married to the bloke that used to be her 'life coach' or 'tutor' or 'carer' or whatever they called it at the time.
They seem happy enough together.

I've met a couple in this exact same situation.
There seems to be no shortage of people out there willing to abuse their position.

There is a fine line.
Actually - no - it's thick and fuzzy.

On one side, you've got rapists.
On the other, people who enter a relationship purely after assessing logically all the reasons for it.
'All sex is rape' has some degree of truth to it - if only considering the logical mind. It's something we are forced to do by our biology.
'All not-eating is starvation' makes as much sense.

Everything else is some shade of grey, from falling in love with someone it's irrational to be in a relationship with, on through cases like the above and beyond.

Many people with problems can cope well - and be happy in roles where they know exactly what's expected, and that is consistent.
