There is a Futurama scary door episode where a scientist is annoyed by his wife and son always wanting his attention so he builds a robot so she has that instead. The robot makes his wife and son happy. So he can work on the things he likes without being pestered by them.
The end of the scene is him realizing the robot had a fulfilling life while he rotted away.
It’s the episode in the video thumbnail. Starts @1:20
