So many thoughts about this post, Cranberry. Relationships are difficult. It feels like this one may not be in a mutually respected spot right now. For relationships to work, there has to be trust, communication and - maybe most importantly - respect. When people are disrespectful, it is sometimes a sign of that individual's insecurities, or fears, or even jealousy. A question to ask yourself is whether that respect was there earlier in the relationship, or if this is how the person always behaved. We often discount the signs (red flags) at the beginning of a relationship - that's human nature. We can't change people ... we don't have that power. We can, however, honestly share that we feel like we are not feeling respected when these types of situations arise. It's that person's decision to make changes that ultimately alter their behavior patterns.

@MidwesternCalmSeeker my question was more oriented toward interactions of power you get on your job or with strangers

Sorry about that. I did not connect the post to the subject line, clearly! I think if you are doing your best to be polite and professional, that's the most you can be, right? If others do not respond to that kind of behavior, that is on them, not on you. There's a saying that people can't "make" you feel a certain way. You allow yourself to feel things. Try to find the confidence that you are a good person, and that you are doing the right things, and eventually things typically turn out right.
