That must be really hurtful, I am sorry you have to feel this way. I cannot tell you what to do, only you have the power and the say so to decide what is best for you and your life. However, I want to ask you something. Why are they embarrassed of you? And what, if anything makes them feel that they are in the position to feel like you are beneath them or an embarrassment to them? Look deep within yourself and there you will find your solution. Do you feel valued in this relationship? Do you like the way it feels to be with this person? I truly hope that you can find the courage to place enough value on yourself and respect, that you can find the best solution. Good luck, you deserve to be happy and loved and whoever you are with should make you feel that way!

Confront them about it. Tell them how you felt . if they apologise and accept their mistake then good otherwise move on and they might not the one for you. if they think you are overreacting then leaving is best options . Connecting with your partner and accepting them as they are and help them to overcome their insecurities should be main priority. Communicate with your partner and tell about insecurities and listen about their as well . If they embarrasses you accidently then talk things out but if you thing it's intentionally try to talk them otherwise you know what's best for you.

Them being embarrassed about you is definitely not a good sign of the relationship. It speaks to a level of "un-acceptance" they have towards you. You can speak to them first and try to get a sense of why they feel that way towards you. Again, them being embarrassed of you in the first place is already a bad sign and the reason might not matter. But maybe in some cases, the reason is resolvable. In other cases, you will have to make a decision. If they are unhappy with you and you cannot tolerate them being embarrassed of you, then it may be time to end the relationship.

Talk to them, there's nothing better than communication. Let him/her explain him/herself. Maybe it is not what you think or he/she has a reason, for example, family issues. In a relationship if there's something that you don't feel ok about, you should speak up your emotions. Also you can maybe talk to a friend about it and see what they think. Once you know what is going on, you'll be able to decide what to do. Sometimes relationships get really difficult to handle but talking to each other about how you feel really helps solve problems and reach out a solution between you two. I hope I've helped, you can write to me any time you want, good luck sweetheart

That sounds rather difficult. If you have a partner who you feel is embarrassed of you, have you talked to them about it? Have they told you and made you aware that they are? If they haven't, perhaps try talking to them and tell them what you are feeling. And have open dialog and conversation with one another. If they have actually already came out to you and told you verbally that they feel this way about you, you might want to take some time and evaluate if this is the type of relationship that you want to be in. And ask yourself if this is the type of person that you want in your life. Good luck to you!
