7 Signs Your Partner Is Embarrassed To Be Around You

April 2024 · 1 minute read

If they do introduce you to people, pay attention to how they do it. "Introducing your partner in a way that makes them sound inferior," Danielle Sepulveres, sex educator and author of Losing It: The Semi-Scandalous Story of an Ex-Virgin, tells Bustle. "Even if it's not intentional, it comes across as declaring that your significant other is not as successful, which can result in wondering how they truly view you if they seem to label you as aspiring or not that capable." It's bad enough in private, but to do that in front of people is so not OK.

You should be with a partner who makes you feel 10 feet tall — not one who's embarrassed by you. Remember, that's on them and you really don't have to put with it. Go find someone who appreciates you.
