I tried extending an olive branch to my EXABF the other day and all I got in return was the same old venom.
Right. I know what you mean! Again, I am so grateful for this thread; it is really helping me out of my anxiety this evening. This is how I feel about my work situation. I have extended the olive branch to this person so many times, and each time I do, everything seems to be going fine, and I get comfortable and trusting and then WHAM!! from out of the blue AGAIN I get yelled at or screamed at or put down or ABUSED or dealt TOXICITY from this person. I have GOT to get AWAY. It's been about two years of this and why I have stayed in it, I do not know.
