Just be careful that what you do isn't damaging to either of you. My wife gets the message loud and clear and fast. It is also a little reassuring to me because it tells me she wants to at least be pursued even when she doesn't want to be caught. (Of course that is a revelation of her selfishness in that it shows she can be satisfied with my frustration.)
But you never know when something like that might cause someone to go unhinged.
