Do we have to just take it?

Well, the moving on part, is YOU move on with life so the current situation doesn't hold you in a lull and suck you down. When you get stuck on something at work, do you not just walk away from it for a bit so you don't waste your entire day on one problem? Same concept on a grander scale.

Have you asked him: "I'm sorry you feel that I've been controlling your life and don't want you feel that way, what have I said or done to make you feel that way?".
