Then say -- to add insult to injury -- he told you that you are not an artist, that everything you do is wrong and false. Say he told you that your writing is infantile and clumsy and altogether pedantic. He refused to listen to reason, refused to open his mind to your perspective.
And then say, after months and months, he told you that he didn't actually hate you and isn't that enough?
