Talk to them about it and why they may feel this way. Your partner could feel shy if you draw attention in a public setting for example which is a reason they may feel embarrassed or so. If you ask them what’s wrong or why they feel embarrassed this can help clear up any misunderstandings your partner or you may have on each other. By doing this it can help you have a better understanding and feel a closer connection to your partner as talking about problems one or both of you may have is important from time to time.

Talk about why is he/she embarrassed of you - communication is key! After learning his/her part of the story, try to give it a cold hard look and understand his/her point of view and see what you two can do to find middle ground and alleviate the problem. However, make sure you do not submit yourself into obedience when reasoning of your partner might be flawed - just as you, he/she is also a human and might need a change of perspective. As you discuss more, you'll find out that you'll be creating trust in one another and making it easier to discuss your trouble in the future.

That's a really tough question and a tough situation.. The answer depends on why he or she is feeling embarrassed of you.. If its because of the way you look or your way of speaking/walking etc, he or she isn't respecting and loving you for what you are... Which is a sign that you should look for a different person who will admire you and your personality. If he or she is embarrassed because of an incident or some particular thing you did, you both should sit and talk it out as to what happened and why it happened.

Your partner should love and appreciate every part of you. They should be proud to be your significant other no matter what and see just how amazing you are. Sometimes we have to remind them why they fell in love with us in the first place so that our flaws seem little compared to our better qualities only then do they realize just how much they are attracted to us. Don't be discouraged you are human, you make mistakes. It's what you learn from them that matters. If you remind them why they are attracted to you by showing off the things they love most about you and they still don't see your worth to be proud that they're in a relationship with you, it's time to find the person who will. They're definitely out there.

Talk to her and get to know the reasons why. Someone that loves you should never feel that way about you. Love is about acceptance and caring for each other! Someone that isn't proud of you and having you as a partner, probably will end up driving down your self esteem. Think about it. Don't settle down for a situation that does not make you feel as comfortable as you should.
Love yourself and let others love you, not define you as someone embarrassing.
Try to communicate with your partner to know what is going through her/his mind so you can also be able to decide what are you going to do. Keep in mind you are a lovely and valuable person, don't let anyone else tell you the opposite

I think you should talk to them. It sounds like this could be a problematic relationship. both parties in a relationship should feel happy with their partner. However, both of you should have an honest discussion about how they are making you feel, since trust is a very important part in a relationship. If your relationship isn't based on trust, then I don't think it is a very healthy relationship. And if this is starting to affect your self esteem, then I suggest doing some self care activities. your needs are important, and your partner should bring you up, not down.

If your significant other is embarrassed of you, there's a good chance that they're not that great of a person. I don't want to tell you what to do, but if they are embarrassed of you or to be around you, they're not worth it. You're worth more than that. You don't need to stay around people who don't appreciate or care about you.
If you do want to stay around them, sit down and have an honest talk. Ask them why they feel this way, and figure out whether or not it's a genuine issue. If it's an issue with your relationship, chances are it can be solved. If it's not an actual issue and they're just embarrassed for no reason, they're not worth it.
Don't stay around people who don't deserve you. You're better than that.

to solve the problem easily, first, you have to know the reason why she is embarrassed so that you can fix the problem without any argument. we all know that some women are very emotional when it comes to any situation, that's why we need to talk to them carefully and make them understand the whole situation. Then, if they don't want to listen of they don't want to cooperate, then let her cool down first then talk to her once she wants to listen. because when we are angry or embarrassed we also need time to cool down to think clearly

I can give two directions you could work on from my personal experience.
The first is talking about it. Communication is the most basic and important skill of any relationship, especially romantic ones. Questions you might want to discuss are: Why is your partner embarrassed of you? Is it things you say or do? Is it something on their side, not dependent on you?
The second thing is that being in a serious relationship is a learning process. I was in a relationship with someone who never wanted me to meet her friends because she was embarrassed of me. After discussing it, I learned (slowly) to behave in ways that she did not find as embarrassing.
The conclusion of that relationship was that there were bigger problems preventing us for being a couple. However, the communication and social skills I learned have been helpful in other relationships and in life.

What is it that your boyfriend/girlfriend is embarrassed about? Have you tried to talk to him/her to ask what it is about you that embarrasses them? If you are both able to discuss the issues it might help you to figure out how to work on the issues together. Once you are able to determine the issues and ways to work on them it will be important to work together on them and encourage each other through the process. Have you tried to talk about this before? If yes, how did that conversation go? Where you able to figure anything out or is this the first time you have tried to discuss this. I am sure this is hard for you.
