I (WM) Not taken seriously in professional settings with my husband (HM)

I don’t know if this is a racial or gender thing but, I (WF) never feel taken seriously and sometimes outright talked down to by different Hispanic professionals we work with for business and life things. My husband is Mexican and grew up in MX. I am American but am fluent in Spanish and have a Spanish Degree.

I have been in a couple different scenarios now where I can tell I am being talked to like a child and not treated as my husbands equal when dealing with other Hispanic professionals. A few examples:

  1. we had a Hispanic lady helping us with preparing legal documents. In office and over the phone she was extremely professional and helpful with my husband. However, when I would call her or text her just myself she would be extremely short and question why I was even asking and want my husband to call. It was no kind of language barrier issues. She was fluent in both Spanish and English.

  2. our CPA is also a Hispanic lady. Again she’s bilingual. When I had to call with a question on our taxes the secretary refused to connect me with the CPA. I tell My husband to call, immediately transferred.

This really upsets me as I put a lot of effort into understanding his culture, language and community. Yet when we engage with people from said community they seem resentful that I am even there. Or am I overthinking and being overly sensitive? Has anyone else been in a similar situation?
