If he could listen every word you say, and then use them to validate that he got the whole version from you, or to ask if there is something else that escaped his understanding, making sure that both of you agree on what the problem is.
-
That he could even apologize, by saying things like, "I've been such a selfish person. Please, forgive me; I don't want to be that person anymore, because I don't want to hurt you anymore." And mean it.
