A question I have asked myself is why do I let my self worth depend on my partner?

One can often let self worth depend on a loved one or another person because we all want to be loved, cared for and accepted. So, one may seek the approval of others, in which the loved one could potentially control how a person may see their worth. What is often forgotten is that you are you, no matter who you are with and that you are worth so much, no matter what others think of you. You define your worth by being the amazing person that you are, not by others' opinions of you. "To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself."

Everyone wants to be loved and accepted. And sometimes people seek approval of others and loved one for such approval. We try to please other with ourselves so much that we forget who we are and what makes us happy.

I guess because you love him too much. Probably you think he is the only one important in your life and that he is allowed to make you feel whatever he wants you to feel.

I think I let my self worth depend on my partner because my partner chose to be with me. My partner saw something in me that they thought was worthy of being with me. I feel better when they are happy with me, and feel worse when they are for whatever reason, unhappy. So my self worth lies in how they feel about me.

We all need acceptance, either from our partner, our parents or from the society in general. At such times you need to remeber you decide your value.No one else does that for you.

The fact that you are asking this question shows that you already know the answer! You must continue to find yourself again as a separate person and know that you are worthy no matter what anybody says or do. Surround yourself with positive people that inspire you and appreciate you for the amazing person that you are.

There comes a point in a relationship where we let everything depend on our partner. The problem is we never realize just how much of ourselves we relinquish to our partner until problems arise in the relationship or a break up occurs. Just be cautious and take in mind what you are allowing your partner to control.

We sometimes feel the need of someone.. Just to validate what we're doing, how we are feeling. But remember, only you could decide you're worth ☺

becuase you probably feel as though their opinion matters more to you than your own, but it shouldnt yours is the most important

Many people who have had a troubled past look for approval in other people. When I was in a relationship, I found that I was only happy when he approved of anything that I did. When we broke up due to distance, I thought I was nothing. All my self worth was gone. It is not something that people who struggle with confidence can control. Just know that you are more than just your significant other. You can still be wonderful without them. It takes time, but eventually you will realize that you are more then just a person's validation of you.
