What's something your SO said to you in the past that still burns you to your core?

I have had the questionable honor of hearing every possible insult you could think of thrown on to my face. And while they eventually broke me down, nothing cuts me harder than to hear a person I love claiming I'm something that completely contradicts my base personality.

Examples:

When I'm trying to be soothing and calm her down when she was extremely irrational --> She would say I am ''Condescending''

When I'm trying to support her and put her interest first --> She would say I am being ''Manipulative'', that I have an ''Agenda''

Those kinds of contradictions were the most hurtful, because they made me question myself on a deeper level. Something that her ''Your dick feels like putting a cold baby carrot inside me'' - insults never could do. Ultimately the doubt that I had over my own empathy and kindness was what tipped it over for me and sunk me into depression.

I've gotten stronger since. I no longer doubt myself. So those words wouldn't have the same power over me. I know that I am a good person and no words can change how I feel about myself in that respect.
