Confident Ways to Respond to a Man’s Rude Behavior

Disrespect is the FOUNDATION of abuse. Thank you for your content always.

Sometimes people make stupid statements and have to be corrected

[@murahkami]

Well said!!!!😮👏👏👏

[@janewasson4845]

Just leave the situation ASAP. If he calls, be polite, but busy doing your own thing for awhile. If he ghosts you, you have your answer. If he doesn't, make it crystal clear that ANY sort of abuse or dominance is unacceptable. If you don't, it will only escalate. Self respect, ladies! Or he won't have respect for YOU.

[@grapepale8446]

I really liked your comment. So me and that guy were kinda pals (nothing sexual happened between us) on the internet. we chatted a lot and stuff. it was fun. he treated me good but then i remember i had gotten really depressed and couldnt reply at all for maybe two months straight (i notified him that id gotten depressed and that i didn't have any energy to reply. he said that he understood me.) two months later i texted him a long ass message with a sincere apology. he once again understood that it was a necessity for me to take that long break and we began chatting again. everything seemed normal UNTIL he asked me for a call. we called over discord and we started playing an intellectual game while casually chatting. then he began reading my apology message with a really mocking tone. i thought wtf? but didn't say anything. i felt really embarrassed.. then he started to mock my moves in that game (i only learnt how to play it that time but he was a pro in it). he said i was dumb and my moves were dumb (not in a friendly or whatever way at all). i couldn't believe it... i wanted to end the call but i didn't. i was just too shocked. i tried to 'laugh it off' while being super embarrassed. this man is studying psychology. can you imagine this...

[@crem9607]

This. Just leave, ladies. The reason he's testing your boundaries to see what he can get away with is BECAUSE he has active plans to get away w/as much as possible in the future.

[@janewasson4845]

@@grapepale8446 Yes. He probably already had someone else, and was trying to hurt you and make you angry. Then, if you bailed, it's all your fault, you're the bitch, you're the one who left. It's a very old trick men use.

When a man rudes in me or disrespect me I leave with out saying a word and keep on silence.And continue doing my work to make my self in progress

[@cassandrareedy7369]

I had to tell my man he made me hate hearing my own name. Only using pet names when kind, but only using given names when angry is a trap many couples fall into. Its unintentional yet very caustic.

[@schoolingdiana9086]

I’ve just been super sweet in return: “I don’t argue so I’ll talk to you later when you’re not in a bad mood.” Kissed him on the cheek while he was looking stunned, walked out the door, didn’t text for 2 days. He never pulled that again. With my kids dad (my ex), I just started telling him “you have no right to talk to me like that,” and walking off. I had no sense of myself when we were together, and he would start screaming at me when I started to cry. This new response has stunned him, and he’s actually apologized whenever I’ve had to say it. Love these other tips about asking them to repeat themselves.

[@murahkami]

Love your tactic. Thanks for sharing! 🩷

[@chloenguyen7844]

I have done the same thing (showed love not war) but he’s still angry and keeps silent for days 😭

A guy friend I was getting to know slowly started being repeatedly disrespectful, so I told him the friendship wasn’t working for me. He called and apologized, so I felt bad, but it still doesn’t feel good to me. I expressed my concerns and boundaries, so guess I will see what he does, wish I had stayed stronger in my no, but letting him go and focusing on myself right now.

[@Shy-kthxbai]

If you’re in a toxic ABUSIVE relationship and you’re reading this, leave now! Cut him out, take a vacation. Don’t waste anymore time. An don’t take him back when he comes running because he will! Better men are literally everywhere, spend your time finding the right one instead of living with the wrong one.

[@Shy-kthxbai]

@@Oshiiiiiiiiiiii I disagree. I am confident that the majority of guys are better men than my abusive alcoholic ex. Its also not my belief or experience that all men are toxic, abusive, bad people. So yeah I do think there are better men everywhere. However I acknowledge that your experiences and definition of a toxic relationship may differ to my own.

[@Shy-kthxbai]

I didn't say you did, I said its not my belief or experience that all men are bad. Thus I cannot in good conscience state that there aren't better men (than a toxic/abuser) all around us. I disagree with your second statement also. I've had 3 good relationships, with good men. Just not the perfect man (for me.) That's my experience though, maybe I'm lucky? Maybe you have only experienced toxic relationships? As I stated, our experiences and definition of "better" and "good relationship" are likely different things. I will never believe that there aren't better men all around me because I have already met them. And that is the message I will take to other women that feel ugly, hopeless, controlled and trapped.

[@Shy-kthxbai]

@@Oshiiiiiiiiiiii Fair, fair. I hope you find (or have found) what you're looking for, and all the best to you!

[@karthikbartha7210]

Total wrong advice! You’re not perfect so understand each other mistakes and try to reconcile as much as possible. Forgive and forget, we are all humans. Dont be narcissistic like this lady!

[@Shy-kthxbai]

@@karthikbartha7210 You disgust me. You have no idea what I or any other woman (or man for that matter) in a toxic abusive relationship is going through. It's very clear that you don't understand what a toxic relationship is and have no place commenting on how other people should stick out ABUSE. You need to jump to 7:50 and learn the difference between healthy and toxic. Because I would never EVER advise a person to stay with a partner that is abusing them.

[@DELMERABFITNESS]

The silence one works for me every time

[@chrisd9759]

I love it when you say "I love it when you do that."

[@arigato22]

Good tactics - thanks! I usually stay silent when people are rude or say things I deem disrespectful. Often wondered if I should retaliate. Most of the time, it's not because I am quiet, but more because if I'm angry I take a longer time to think of a response (hence the silence) and in the end I end up saying nothing because I don't know what to say.

[@Mindsetolympics]

[@Hythyr]

Thank you. Your presentation style is easy for me to listen to, and that helps with comprehension. Your videos have been helping me handle recent issues in my 20 year marriage. I absolutely LOVE watching the play of emotion on my husband’s face when I respond differently. He is slow to learn, it’s true, but he learns! We hit rock bottom 3 years ago and nearly divorced. Your videos even came to my therapy appointments! I am still married and things continue to improve. I am always grateful to be reminded of my value, and you have given me tools to help others see my value. Again, thank you!

[@morandi9inna9marius]

I don't know if he regrets that he didn't respect and treat me right, but I don't regret that I said he dosn't and I'm disappointed in him. Before that he's gone silent for 3 months and answered only when there was a big explosion and fire in his neighbourhood. The thing is he was my only friend and as autistic person with problems with social interactions it was especially hard to let him go knowing how much he meant to me.

[@1chienandalou]

[@Jakilyn]

I'm shocked how a man was recently disrespectful to me via text whilst drunk. We had been dating for a few months. That was 4 weeks ago and have been no contact since. I'm confused why he never offered up an apology. I guess he'd rather be a coward & walk away rather than apologizing and making things right😢

[@smitha1867]

If someone never apologises to you after being rude, it just means they’re not nice people so it’s good that you guys are not in contact and try to maintain it that way. Take care put yourself first don’t hurt yourself. ❤

@hiroxh6366 Shocking that someone could do something so cruel out of the blue & then ghost. Hard to wrap my head around. It's taking all my strength to avoid reaching out to him. At this point, it's too late. I was still hoping for the apology.

Flip flops or no, never run from a grizzly. They can run down a horse, so you don't have a chance of out running one. This may be one of the few times he has given indirect bad advice.

[@MoonFoxSassy]

[@TarotTarot1]

I actually said to an ex-boyfriend when he made a very disrespectful comment I’m going to pretend you didn’t say that because that’s hurtful and I don’t want to see you that way. I’ve also used silence, and I feel like for most people that’s just the best thing is just to pretend like you didn’t even hear them. Asking them to repeat it, and then not responding is probably the most empowering one.

[@batcactus6046]

My ex would infrequently say something that caught me off guard, it was so out of the blue I would just be like a deer in headlights. Sometimes I would write it down and read it later and think, what the hell? I am more cognizant now of little nicks, and having someone repeat the comment, and letting it hang there, is a great tactic.

[@marilynwarbis7224]

A problem with these suggestions is that the disrespectful bully is generally on the warpath and is out for blood. He wants a fight and will attack until he gets one; someone told me it was the only time he felt alive. One cannot just walk out when it's in a marriage with children, the forces pinning one in place are too strong - such as finances, nowhere to go, even the children's schooling and friends etc. I suppose, when the disrespect and bullying are continuous, that responding as advised in this video would be the way to cope, and would put a continuous psychological distance between the victim and the bully. It would be a holding manoeuvre until one could leave.

[@Pinkroses-summer23]

I read your comment just now, and am wondering how things are going for you?

[@Deb-w5r]

Yes, you are right to bring up the point that they want to fight. I recently called out bad behaviour and asked for an apology and was told I was toxic. 7 years in to the relationship and I knew better than to retaliate. I asked him to leave my house and this was a relief as he does not live with me. He left angrily but without throwing any more insults. I have gone no contact and intend to remain that way. I care about him but understand his issues as a dismissive avoidant who I can do nothing to help despite trying to highlight to him where his troubled behaviours come from. I am in therapy for the 2nd time and feeling way stronger mentally and emotionally than I ever had in these very challenging but enlightening 7 years. If you can, get therapy for yourself. Best of luck.

[@keziahgarcia3651]

I did the second way to respond to my niece when he was being rude cuz I asked him to sweep the floor as I washed the dishes. "Why can't she do it, it's a simple task." He said in a low voice, but I heard it. Then I asked him, "What did you say?" Then he became mute the rest of the night.

If he does not he will leave. When you come back if he is home and asked you where were you, ask him how you leaving made him feel. For all he knows you can tell him you went to the supermarket market. See if he feels what you feel. Be strong. If he is not there when you return, Time to move on, you are stronger then you know.
