I was working with my situationship. It/he was honestly just becoming too toxic and I started to feel at my end. I couldn’t do/wear/say anything. Last month, they hired in this girl who’s a family friend. I thought it was weird from the get-go and I started on a bad note with her. But then we started talking and she clicked with my friend group, I thought. But then she started rumors and turned one of my friends against me with one of them. I started to feel uncomfortable at work but planned on going back still. Then today, he starts blowing up my phone, texting and calling (he usually never does) my phone. I answered his calls on the 2nd or 3rd call. He immediately was like “did you see me texting you? What have you been doing? Are you just sleeping or something” I said “yeah?” And he starts going off about how there’s a rumor that I’m sleeping with a guy on my shift. Which I’m definitely not, I might have been a little too nice, because the person that trained me and that I looked up to was the same way, but I didn’t sleep with him or talk to him outside of work. He demanded screenshots but I don’t even have any. I told him and he accused me of lying. Told me to quit and that if I didn’t, he would freak out on me when/if he sees me. I’ve had him throw things at me at work and get in my face. So I immediately quit. I just didn’t wanna do it anymore.

I told a family friend and said I was realizing how free I felt to be away from him. The family friend laughed and said “yeah right. He’s not gonna let you go. He just didn’t want you to be able to out him for his abuse and wants to isolate you. He’ll be back. And it’ll probably be worse since he thinks you have no outlet now”. And I’m stressed. He already texted and asked if I’m “doing okay” and says he “feels bad”
