Your boyfriend/girlfriend shouldn't be ashamed of you , you should be accepted by him/her. You should talk to her/him and try to get to the bottom of the situation. why is he/she ashamed? is it you or him/her?

Sit with them and ask them why they are ashamed, and what about your actions are making them feel this way. Communication is key in any healthy relationship.

Break up with them! If they are not proud of you then they are not worth being with and are clearly not a very kind person. It will be hard but find someone who shows off about you, and is proud to be with you. It will be a much healthier relationship!

I think you should evaluate whether or not the relationship is healthy for you and this person at this point if they are not proud of you as a person. It depends really on the situation. Talking to them about how you feel about them being ashamed of you and asking them why they are could be highly beneficial.

if your dating someone and they are ashamed of you would you want to be with them? if they cant take your small issues than they shouldn't take your big issues.

You should acknowledge how you feel about your relationship and specifically your boyfriend. How has this relationship effected you? That's the most important question.

Remain proud of yourself, only you can allow someone to shame you. Get around other people who love you.

Break up with them. They clearly don't respect you & you deserve better than them. I wouldn't say that it is a healthy relationship for you since they don't want to be seen with you. That can hurt you emotionally and the side effects can be horrendous.
