You shouldn't have to change the way you are just because someone feels embarrassed of you. You should love yourself for who you are and they should learn to accept that

Maybe sit down with him or her and ask them what embarrasses them about you. Any sort of dialogue is preferred to silence. And if a middle ground can't be achieved, then drop the issue.

Address the situation by talking t them. Honesty is the foundation of every relationship that is real.

I think you should talk about it with him to see why he is embarrassed of you. If he says something about you personally I would find someone who wants to be with you in public and everywhere. Not just in his bedroom.

I Believe you should confront them about the situation and how you feel about it. If they persist you should let go of them. Sometimes letting go can cause less damage then holding on. You deserve to be with someone that loves you for who you are. You should be with someone that cherishs your imperfections. If they are embarrassed they arent worth it.

If they are embarassed of you, you need both to talk about it, fix it or break up. This kind of relationship is never good for any side. It's much better to stay with someone who love all of you (including weird parts), than with someone who deeply want you to change.

Talk to them about it and ask why they are embarrassed by you and ask what you can do to change it.

Firstly, talk to them about it. Honesty is the key to any relationship :) If he/she really cares about, I'm sure they will make the effort to put themselves in your shoes and understand where you are coming from. If it doesn't work and your partner is continuous embarrassed of you, I mean, it shows that he/she is unable to accept you for who you are.

Well, your partner should never be embarrassed of you. If that is the case, you need to figure out what or why. Someone should always accept you for who you are. Don't change for somebody else.
