Stop dating them immediately and find somebody who appreciates you. Life is too short to be with someone who doesn't recognize your value. I learned that lesson the hard way by fighting too long to be with people who didn't cherish me. The harder I fought, the more pain I caused myself.

Firstly, you should reflect on yourself. What did you do to make them ashamed of you? Was it wrong? If it was inappropriate, stop doing that. If it is not, then you should reconsider the relationship because compatibility is the most important thing in a relationship.

Split up- you don't deserve to be treated like a problem. You shouldn't have to adjust your behaviour to fit in with their family or friends.

Break up with him/her. If they wants a relationship, they shouldn't want to hide it. They should be proud that they are dating you.

When you're in a relationship, neither party should ever feel ashamed of the other. A relationship is built on trust and love and you can't have those things if you're ashamed.

If the relationship is bringing you bad emotions then it would be best to surround yourself with people and a significant other that makes you feel good about yourself and feel glad for having you.

If you are with someone who is ashamed of you, it sounds to me like they are not a positive factor in your life, or they do not understand you completely. I would talk to them and try to figure out why they are feeling ashamed, and if it is for something that neither of you have any control over, let them go. Also, please remember that you do not have to change for anyone. Be yourself!

You shouldn't have to be with someone who feels this way about you. If your partner does, then they are not the right person for you. Nobody should put you down or make you feel belittled about yourself, if they do then I would seriously question about whether you are happy with them and about whether you are emotionally healthy with them.
