Two years later and she still finds ways to reach out

My unsent response to her most recent email:

“Apparently blocking your email address didn’t work as intended. I will fix that. I didn’t read your email but noticed it in my trash and according to the preview it seems you are now lying about having a potential client for me and are using it as an excuse to contact me. I have not heard from any new clients so either you’re lying and trying to circumnavigate my blocking you everywhere, or you are inserting yourself between me and a professional connection in a selfish attempt at gatekeeping. A normal person would simply give a client the contact information they have and let them contact me themselves. I’ve accepted losing professional connection by cutting out deceptive and manipulative people from my personal life, that cost is worth it to never have to deal with you again. Next time you try this your email will be bounced back.

I wouldn’t block you if you weren’t consistently displaying deceptive and manipulative behavior. You’ve done this before, it’s been years apart at this point. Consider this your final warning. Never contact or approach me again for the rest of either of our lives. If you do, it will be considered harassment and there will be consequences. Have a nice life.”

Two years later and my ex who was secretly married but said she was "separated", still reachs out. When she reached out last year I told her I didn't trust her, will not be responding to further attempts, and best of luck with her husband. To that she said:

“I am not sure what your intentions are with this message as the message I sent to you was strictly professional and I was asked to reach out to you. I was never the one who asked to be left alone to live my life but respect your boundary in wanting that, even with you adding a picture on WhatsApp that you knew I'd see. While I appreciate the salutations, you don't know what my life situation is nor the struggles 1 am dealing with, just as I don't know yours. Again, my message was professional and unfortunately we both work in a small space where we will likely cross paths again, which was a risk I thought we both acknowledged and knew. I never should have reached out and will delete all your contact info to respect your privacy and boundaries. I will always highly respect you as another Native person working for Indian country and will truly always value you as a person.”

Then the most recent reach out this year was:

!*Reaching out to see if this is the best email to share with a client interested in contracting your services. Our old partners from the CDC IPC team are seeking a graphic designer to help them update some of their materials to make them culturally responsive for AI/AN communities. They specifically have funds to contract someone. I recommended you and they want to reach out but I couldn’t find a website to direct them to and have no clue if this is your email still.  "!<"

And so, here we are. I am avoiding reading that last email. I assume that message is not an olive branch, but a trap. Considering the last thing I did was email her husband telling him with receipts about our relationship while they were supposedly separated.
