I talked to my advisor about this when we butted heads and he didn't see it this way at all. I am free to change advisors at any time and there is very little he can do to stop it. And thereby he looses all the time he invested in me. So it's really in his interest to make sure we get along. You just need to find another professor that likes you if you wanna switch. People don't jive with advisors regularly and at least in my department it happens regularly that people jump teams
And thereby he looses all the time he invested in me.
Attribution rules mean you're still likely to need listing your former advisor as co-author, unless you completely scrap your work and pivots to something completely different. So I wouldn't count that as a total loss.
