Funny thing (to me). Since I posted yesterday about the difficulty with a band member, I have felt much better about the whole thing, without taking any other action.

Because when you talk about change, you are really talking about changing yourself, not anybody (or any thing) else. As soon as I wrote what I wrote, inner change began to take place, and I thought of a third alternative (to quitting or having a conversation about past events).

Next time I feel disrespected, I'm going to tell him, "What you did/said makes me feel disrespected."

That will accomplish everything I could hope for, without expectations about outcomes I can't control.

I came up with this solution this morning, when I was "counting my blessings" (feeling grateful), which is something I do every day.

I realized there is a lot to feel grateful for in my relationship with this perceived antagonist.

As always, it is difficult to harbor negative thoughts when you're feeling thankful about stuff.
