We're sorry to read you've been having issues with unwanted messages. In this case, the only option would be to block the number that is sending the messages.

I constantly block, in which case she just spoofs another number or uses a voip number. Due to the ease of obtaining spoofed and voip numbers, blocking is useless.

We get how annoying spoofing and other unwanted calls can be annoying. Check out this resource for the best options to stop or reduce Spoofing, Spam, and more.

You could try blocking texts from all unknown senders, but that would filter out some legitimate stuff too.  Google Messages has  "spam and blocked" section which you would use to check the filtered out texts for stuff that isn't spam.
