Answer 1

Ask him why he doesn't like you anymore. You sound like you guys talk a lot and are longtime friends at least, so you should be able to be open with this kind of talk - find out exactly why he told people he didn't like you anymore. There could have been some misunderstandings. If after you find out the reasons, you realise he is still a jerk, then don't even bother about fighting back. Spend your energy on finding someone better who does not treat you like a jerk, and that's the ultimate fight back.
