Responding with vegetables

[Depression = 72% of members]

So I know this may seem petty but in the world of trying to get away from her nonsense I feel like I’ve had to reply with equal nonsense.

Maybe some of you will think I’m losing my mind, but I’m hoping some on here will find a little humor in this. Basically when she starts texting me all sorts of BPD bs I simply reply with a vegetable. Literally.

Goes like this:
Her: “You suck, your worse than... BPD blah blah blah”
Me: “cucumbers”
Her: “ you suck worse than sucking, you suck, why do you suck?”
Me: “Beets”
Pause
Her: “ what?  What is wrong with you now?  Are you drunk?  Wouldn’t surprise me, why don’t you do everything I want?
Me: “carrots”
Her: “I’m not interested in someone who can’t fill my needs, my affair partner makes more effort than you! Sucky dad!”
Me: “Eggplant”

Silence... .ahhhhh

Well, that is a new one on me. Very creative! Whatever it takes to stop the madness, I get it, however, that tactic may be viewed by her to be passive-aggressive, and may cause her to redouble her efforts.

Would blocking her phone number, even temporarily, be possible, just so you can have some peace?

Kind of funny... .

But do you think maybe that you are engaging in a game rather than addressing your pain?

Forget that I said "dressing"

Speck, indeed it’s probably not the best way to handle the situation! I think I was just pushed to my limits yesterday. I usually take the high road and try not to respond. When I realized I was having trouble disengaging yesterday I knew I had to change tactics and figured it was my turn to act like an arse.

It completely befuddled her and she finally stopped texting me. I’m sure i’ll pay for it later but at least I had a quiet evening. 

Turkish  perhaps my next text barrage response will be salad dressings... .
But to answer your question yes you are probably correct. Although in a strange way creating a bit of comedy has made me feel a bit better.

Ranch!

 . I like it. Sometimes we need to take a step back and not take things too seriously. This whole process can be exhausting at times. Thanks for the laugh.

Ozmatoz, I see what you mean. I agree with JNChell in that learning to detach can be exhausting at times, and I can certainly understand your need for levity when you're feeling under attack by an unstable person. Thanks for sharing. It is funny, though... .
