How do I deal with a friend who is still trying to talk to me after I have ended the friendship? I was honest in tellin an old friend that I no longer wanted to continue our friendship, yet she is still calling ans e-mailing me to be friends! To keep it short, she had betryed her husband(and kids to for that matter), bragged about it. Became very selfish, and is still lying to all around ger! I want nothing to do with her and made it perfectly clear, but she is still trying to make up with me and I don't want anything to do with er. How can I make it any more cleaar to her? HELP!!!
Block her e-mails and don't answer her calls. If she leaves phone messages, delete them. She'll get the hint soon enough. Don't feel bad about it, she doesn't sound like to great of a person to hang around with. I wouldn't want to waste my time on her.
Ignore her. You seem to be very wrapped up in this friends life and the drama surrounding it. If you don't return her calls she'll get the message. Block her email address, don't answer the phone when she calls. It seems pretty simple to me.
Hi C.,
I don't think she has realized in her mind fully that your friendship is over. She doesn't seem to be making the connection that you disapprove of her behavior as in her mind, she is justified in some way in having her affair. I think at some point she is going to realize she has lost not only her husband but also a friend as well. She will learn when you make certain choices, there are consequences. I agree with the other posts in how to deal with her.. blocking calls.. and checking your caller id when you get a call. She will get the message after while.
Dear C.,
If you call the phone company you can block her number from calling you. Or tell her that if she keeps calling that you could get her on phone harrasment.

Block her email address and don't answer her calls. And just be consistent with that, eventually she'll get the hint.
I was in a similar situation a few years back. I ended up just ignoring all the emails and phone calls. One day she sent me another e-mail and I just told her once again that I didn't want to speak to her anymore and not to even try getting back on my good side. I told her the truth why I never wanted to speak to her again. She left me alone needless to say for a little while, and then sent me one more e-mail a few months later. I never responded and have never heard from her since. It has been about 2 years since I have heard from her.
If the friendship is truly over and you're 100% finished...
Just ignore her the best you can. Like the other poster said, don't respond to any of her e-mails, voice mails, etc.
By responding to her, you give her attention. It doesn't matter that it may be negative attention, it is attention and you will only continue to give her the audience she seeks.
I'm going to guess that every time you try to tell her that you're not interested in continuing the friendship, she tries to tell you her side of the story blah, blah, blah. Ignore her and don't even give her the opportunity.
They say the squeaky wheel gets the grease, but if no one's standing around holding the can of oil....
