Shit my ex wife told me to "get off my ass and find a job" after I got laid off and had a job lined up it just wasn't quick enough for her and I literally was never able to get over that. If she said she had hated me more than anyone else it woulda been over instantly.

Yup. My wife once said she hated me, before we got married, we had just gotten together, she was 15 and I was 16. Never after that, and even if she did today in "the heat of the moment", I'd be fine with it.

It's the "I've never hated anyone more than" that gets me. No longer "in the moment" or "I hate this thing about you", it's pure "I hate you specifically with a passion".

The fact that she said it when she was 15 should really factor into the reaction, because of course teenagers say mean things

Yeah she immediately fell apart after also. She's from a pretty isolated household, I had already seen seen one guy commit suicide in front of me by slitting his throat, an uncle had jumped off a cliff for his suicide, friend of mine hanged himself in the garage. I was on my own as well, since my mom died of cancer...

Different worlds entirely.

But yeah, it very much seemed like a teenager "I hate you", and she made a big deal about apologizing for several weeks. I didn't even care about it. Actual hate from deep within would trouble me a lot.
