Help with this sentence...

I noticed that Ben used this sentence in a previous thread "difference between bonita and guapa."

'Mira, guapo/a, yo no te he faltado el respeto en ningun momento' = 'look love/mate, I haven't been rude to you once'

I was wondering, could someone help me break down this sentence structure? It's very complicated! Faltar means to lack or be missing but i dont get how it means rude... or is that respeto? Also, i dont get how the verb haber plus "yo" and "te" works... ahhh! AYUDAME PORFAVOR!!!!
