The last thing I need to do right now is jet off to Mexico, get completely blasted on tequila due to depression and end up in bed with someone else. And, yes, that could happen when you mix, singles, alcohol, depression and warm beach breezes.
It is great that you recognize the dangers of acting "single" when you aren't.

You do not need to convince her how to treat you. She will decide that all on her own. And it may not be the way you think she should treat you, at least for a while.
Moving beyond that, will only happen, if you continue to show her that you are not the a$$ she thinks, and then she will make the choice to treat you differently or not.
You do see and understand how to diffuse the negative situations before they escalate. That is a good thing.

That honestly does not surprise me one bit.

This was the goal. We have to really be aware of ourselves, and how we present ourselves to others.
Believe it or not, people see more than they hear and our actions will always be the best representation of ourselves that we can present.
