I agree with Chatterbug. Sometimes you need someone to kick you in the hind end. Don't acknowledge your W and her comments. She already knows her money will be there tomorrow. Obviously, she's not dumb. She needs to put her big girl panties on and deal. No way in the world would she have said that to anyone else in a company where she is employed. She IS baiting you or at the least looking for some sort of emotional validation. Ignore it. Also as far as your boundaries, you have already told her. No need to tell her again. If she wants to talk about R or anything else simply say, my feelings haven't changed nor have my boundaries. I literally told H not to contact me again about R unless/until things changed and if that was never then hey that was okay with me too. Then I followed through. No contact. Even if I needed to take care of business it was very minimal. I used to make a list and wait for when he contacted me and I was very business like to be sure things were addressed. Nothing forgotten. No other reason to contact. Once he really realized I was serious and meant it then he finally took the steps to show me and my boundaries respect. Hang tough. Obviously she has noticed the change. I would consider this a baby step for that reason.
