Antiwork

My boss has been manipulating me and I have only just noticed.

It’s currently just past midnight, and a few weeks ago I told my boss I was not coming back after university. I was then messaged by her husband, asking me to do a weekend of shifts because my boss is having a ‘mental breakdown’ over it. I agreed, having seen her cry about this sort of thing before, but now I realise that it was a guilt-trip. My shift is in 11 hours, what do I do? If I go in, they’re gonna try to manipulate me in person, and I’m not amazingly strong-willed. If I don’t show up, they know me on a lot of platforms and they know where I live. I never signed a contract, so technically blocking them and never showing up isn’t illegal, right? I just need advice.
