There are two reasons you might want to stay in there. 1) As an exercise in dealing with adversity. That can be really useful if you’re a newbie. Toughens you up. 2) You enjoy messing with her. If I’m going to stay in there, I’m going to give her more shit than I’m getting. Most of the time, it doesn’t change the dynamic, but sometimes it does. The good thing is that it doesn’t take long. Whatever she gives me, I give her even more. It usually goes back and forth a few times until the whole thing spirals out of control and I have to leave or she surrenders and I’m back in the saddle.

What I would never do is stay in there and just continue running my regular game. Bleh. Bad power dynamic. Even if you succeed in getting her to stop messing with you, it will take a while to work back to a position of respect. I’d rather spend that time looking for someone else.
