I guess it depends on who is doing the disrespecting. Sometimes you have to pick your battles.

If the disrespect is infused in the relationship, and you can't talk it out, you may want to walk away or at least distance yourself, if that's an option.

If this is about something someone did or said, but they are normally respectful, there is this standard psych response to situations like this that's been around for ages. If someone says something that upsets you, you respond: "When you say-or do-thus-and-such, it makes me feel disrespected/hurt/angry/etc..(Pick and emotion)" It's a statement that keeps you responsible for your reaction, but lets them know how you feel. If the person didn't mean to hurt you, it gives them a chance to make amends. But if the person is a jerk, they probably won't care.
