If one wishes to keep some relationship with that person, they have to act like everything is fine, grin and bear it. Otherwise, they can end the relationship, moving on to find others who will treat them right.
I’ve wasted so much energy trying to repair relationships gone bad. It takes two.

Don't give up TishaBuv! People can learn how to do these things - you, and I, and the next person
. Perhaps relationship skills are ALL about learning what to do when things go bad - as well as having fun together? Perhaps also there are layers to learning this stuff: I can conflict resolve with acquaintances but despair with intimate friends for example?
HUGS COMING YR WAY IF YOU TAKE THEM!
