By doing it repeatedly instead of breaking up with her.
This.
I am not saying you should break up with her, but I would let her know in no uncertain terms that it's time to act like a grown up. If she ignores you, leave. I'm not kidding. I don't understand why anyone would be with someone who didn't respect them.
Makes sense, but here's another question; what do you do when you're taking her on the 20 minute car ride home after doing something like that? You just supposed to sit there in awkward silence with all that tension while the radio plays?
Also, how am I "f#cking up" by being nice to her and trying to talk her down from the immature fit she's in? Is it just simply making me look weak somehow or what?
Yep. She wants the attention. Don't give her any.
Don't be nice to her. That obviously doesn't work. Seriously...don't give into her drama queen antics, people like that thrive on the attention. Cut that off and she'll be forced to rethink her actions.
However, there is no culture where being disrespectful and treating your s/o poorly with mean names is ok.
Cool lack of comprehension.
Did the S/O make any mention of 'mean names'?
The point of my story was that the same action can be either respectful or disrespectful depending on the culture.
i hear u its a problem for me too, boundaries and self care. there are 12 step meeting for learning these skills.
the trouble with people walking all over u daily is when u say something about it they think there is something wrong with you.

My comprehension is fine, there are plenty of cultural differences.. but let's not kid ourselves into saying poor behavior is ok because of cultural differences.
There are plenty of differences, but treating someone poorly is treating someone poorly no matter where you live.

We don't know what the OP's GF is doing that he's considering as treating him poorly though.
Look how women are treated in Arab countries... that's their culture and normal to them. Not the rest of the world.
