Will your art suffer if no one worships you?

Dear Molly,

Does having a boyfriend indeed make you a worse artist unless they worship you? I suspect that "worship," for all the fucked-up dynamics that word implies, may also describe my last two boyfriends' attitudes towards me, which left me feeling vaguely patronizing and disrespectful of them until I couldn't take it anymore. But they were so sweet…
