Disrespect also can take the form of idealizing you and putting you on a pedestal as a perfect woman or goddess, perhaps treating you like a piece of fine china. The man who worships you in this way is not seeing you; he is seeing his fantasy, and when you fail to live up to that image he may turn nasty. So there may not be much difference between the man who talks down to you and the one who elevates you; both are displaying a failure to respect you as a real human being and bode ill.
I was definitely put on a pedestal in the beginning. Told I’m the most beautiful girl he’s dated. That I’m the perfect girlfriend for him only to see him start to devalue my character. He went from that to calling me demanding, entitled, claiming I had a lot of red flags. Big switch! Update: During the breakup conversation he called me “difficult” , “demanding” , “entitled” and “materialistic” . Beware of the man that starts off the relationship seeing you as perfect!
