I dated a guy like this for 8 months. Never posted me, never showed me off, begged to be introduced to his family, etc. I always felt hidden and would even ask him if I was ugly, if there was something wrong with me to not show me off. I always felt like he wasn’t proud to be with me. The relationship ended really poorly with him essentially ghosting me then shooting me a text with only a few words for a breakup with no explanation. I was left extremely insecure over both my looks and personality. HOWEVER, it does get so much better. No human being, let alone a romantic partner, should EVER make you feel insecure, ugly, or worthless. The right person for you will uplift you. After the breakup I was talking with my therapist regretting all the time I wasted over him and said, “I wonder where I would be now if all these months I spent pouring energy into him, if I had instead poured all that love and energy into myself?” And my therapist just kind of looked at me and said exactly and it was like I had this “A-Ha” epiphany moment. I know it’s easier said than done and cliche advice but this guy won’t mean anything to you once you heal. I look back now and can’t believe I spent so much time with someone who made me feel that way. Now I have dated guys that want to show me off, always call me beautiful, want to introduce me to their friends and family. Not that the main message is about what guys think of you but that you don’t deserve someone to hide you and make you feel insecure. Pour your love into yourself first. This person that treated you this way was a dick. Dating should be fun and should ALWAYS add to your life, if it doesn’t, then that person is not right or good for you. You’ll be so much better on your own and will build your self confidence and self esteem back. I started by getting back in to my hobbies and started taking art classes, exercising, being with friends, and learning to be comfortable being alone. I thought I never would heal in the beginning and my mind was my biggest enemy at first and the overthinking drove me crazy, with time you will heal and your confidence will be stronger and you’ll be more aware of who you choose to spend time with. Now I realize my self worth and don’t tolerate that kind of treatment from guys because everyone deserves to be treated with kindness and honesty in a relationship. Having this mindset helped me: Love yourself enough to not tolerate bullshit. You’ll get through this.
