What they said! Lol. Agreed. Stop texting her outside of ur hrs and tell her to lay off or leave. In nice business terms that is good luck!

This situation sounds intense and I feel for you. I think as others have said, it is necessary that you not engage with this woman more than absolutely necessary. If she does not get it after being told multiple times, then likely she never will take your no or responses for an answer. I too would just not respond or engage if you have already told her before. Ignore all contact in all instances outside of business hours. During business hours, short and to the point responses of no or relative information. Make them generic, even so exact that you write exactly the same each time word for word. I think it will only be so long till she gets it. Also if you say no every single time to her requests, eventually she will have to find someone else and then she will hopefully leave you alone completely. I don`t think there is any easy way out of this situation but I wouldn`t put up with this for to long at personal expense over fear of something happening beyond your control. She could leave because you aren`t bending to her every request and slander you for that, but she could also bad mouth you for letting her go. Hopefully the advice ladies have given on here will be enough to make the problem smaller and less infuriating.
