Thank you for laying that out so clearly — it sounds like you approached the situation directly but calmly, even in front of someone else, which takes a lot of confidence. You stated what happened, held your ground about not being spoken to disrespectfully, and allowed him a way to acknowledge it without escalating things.

From what you described, you handled it assertively: you didn’t attack him personally, you addressed the behavior, and you closed the conversation once he acknowledged it. It might not have been perfectly smooth, but you set boundaries and made your stance clear — which is the important part.

How did you feel after the conversation ended?
