Ask him/her why they feel this way, and if it cannot be resolved then it would be best to end it the relationship.

Are their reasons valid or superficial? If valid, it's your choice to understand, accept and try to improve. If superficial, decide whether they are healthy for you. No one should break down your sel-worth.

If the embarrassment is about looks...you should probably leave him cuz it's not looks all the time...you can't love someone for lifetime for their looks. But if it is some kind of behaviour issue...one has to think whether such behaviour is right one or not. If it is a good one you have to be yourself. If not, change for good and love him more...

you need a partner who is not embarrassed of you. who thinks of you as equal to him/her. leave her/him. but still you can ask for the reason why that person is embarrassed of you and if it is because of something you did wrong then correct it.

be honest and say how you feel, if they're embarrassed of you, they don't deserve you. You have agreed to be in a relationship, not hide

If you're feeling like your partner is embarrassed of you in any kind of way, the best thing you could do to put your mind at ease is to sit down with your partner and explain to them what's going on in your mind at this moment in time and that you feel like they may be embarrassed of you or how you're acting. Ask them what it is so you both can work it out together :) But first ask yourself what the reason could be, at least that way you will have an understanding of what's going to be said when you have that sit down with each other. Be strong! and remember talking is the key.

Confront them. Tell them that you feel like they are embarrassed of you. Ask for reasons and try to understand those reasons. If any of them offend you as a person, you should reconsider the relationship.

Are sure of this feeling of your boyfriend/girlfriend? If you are, what about you is making him/her embarrassed? Talking to him/her directly in non confrontational tone will help. Show sure signs of you wanting to solve this for both of you. Cheers
