Taunting Ex

My ex and I broke up in July 2011. She is now with a new partner and I am single. We attend the same church. After she saw me at church she texted me that she did not want to have any type of relationship with me and she did not want me to contact her. I replied that I would respect her request. On several occasions she has come up to me and started conversations with me, asking me questions, saying things like I loved you deeply, I wish you God's highest best good etc. She even asked if she could hug me once. (this is after the no contact text from her)
I texted her to restate that she had asked me not to contact her and went on to ask her not to approach me, ask me questions, hug me etc. There was no acknowledgement from her about my text. Recently she attended the same function I was attending. While she was within earshot she was saying things out loud to try and get a reaction out of me. Nothing specific about me but general innuendos about how she was over me. A couple of times she approached a circle of people I was having a conversation with and talked to someone other than me (as if to test my boundary of "Don't approach me"). I know, from our history together, that these are direct challenges to the boundary I put in place with her. I did not react to her at all. I plan to continue this approach. I plan to focus on my spiritual path and my journey with God. I believe, in time, she will tire of this and leave me alone. What do you think?

Hi SeekingPeace. Playing games makes me crazy and I can not do it. I do not understand the agenda of your ex! Maybe it would be good for you to find another church to attend. Just so you dont have to deal with her!

I think you're right, Seeking. She will tire of it after a time. That's what they do it for, to get a rise out of the other person. If they can't, after some attempts they will move onto a new target. If you can endure it, do so and just ignore it but I do suport what curley says if it becomes unbearable

That is definitely not a fun or healthy situation to be in, especially when you are trying to move on and respect both sides of the boundary. Focus on you, and frankly, I would keep doing what you are doing. Boundaries are essential, and with this situation, she may very well tire of her game if you keep your boundaries in place. Something to definitely think about for the long run. Also, Curly made a point about switching churches. Might be something to consider as well if things don't improve.

Good luck!

Thank you for your replies. It really does help to hear your encouraging words. As you all probably know, this position can be pretty lonely. I have not told anyone at church about my past with this person and have not talked about her at all to anyone. My intent is to not fuel the fire.
I would love to go to a different church but this is the first church I have found in about 14 years where I am growing spiritually. I also prayed several times about leaving the but believe this is where God wants me to be. I have strong days and weak days. As long as I keep my boundaries clear and protect them and focus on my spiritual path, I do believe as you said that this will pass.
Thank you again for your kind words. They are welcomed and appreciated.
