If your significant other seems to only want you around when there is little or no social interaction with others.....are they ashamed or embarrased to be with you in public?

Jennifer, I read and re-read then considered and re-read your question again before attempting this answer. Just trying to 'see the world as you see it' with the information you provided is somewhat difficult, so giving a pertinent answer will be risky at best. At any rate, here goes:
Nobody, neither male nor female, wants a relationship in which the 'significant other' is so deeply attached that when in public you seem like conjoined twins. In this respect, you might be expecting more from the relationship than what is healthy or constructive. True love allows for the absolute freedom of the person you love. Kahlil Gibran ( The Prophet, see link ) states that an ideal realtionship should be like two pillars of the temple...Both holding up the roof beam, but in the act standing apart.
Your question indicates a 'closeness' when there is .." LITTLE or no social interaction"...Does this mean that when you are alone that you ARE the focus of his attention?...Does this mean you are ignored in SMALL groups?...I think not...In this respect, again, you seem to be wanting more than what is healthy for the relationship.
Please go to the link and read...enjoy...I think you will be a better more fullfilled person because of it...

Theres something odd about that, im with you. However, dont be paranoid. Im guessing that you are the one in the picture, Ill tell this much, you have nothing to be ashamed of. Very nice pic, you are very attractive, so thats not even a question. Your other should be proud to have you on his arm going anywhere. Now as far a insecurity, that may be another question, sounds to me like you may be some insecure about it, (the relationship). If thats the way he is about having you around then he has the problem. Id try to ask him and get the truth outta him, if you feel that strong about this. But all you have to do, truly, is just take a good look in the mirror, and youll see at that moment, that he is wrong. If you dont get the praise and treatment you rightfully deserve, as a gorgeous young woman, then again, thats his problem. He needs to take a step back and take another long look at what he's not appreciating like he should. To tell the truth, (and Ive never really said this), This is my philosophy about women.....and you can quote me!
"Women are the most precious beings on the face of the Earth, they give life, and what could be more precious than that" Good luck, doll.

No.....not at all. My significant other is very social as well, I think when men are in a long term relationship, their female partners tend to become their "comfy shoes". It took me a while to adjust and understand as well, and I too went through the paranoia stage, but time has shown that he loves to socialise and be with his buddies, but also needs that intimate time with his loved one as well.
If that is you in the picture you have nothing to worry about!

It doesn't mean they're ashamed/embarrassed about you in particular... some people are just very private people when it comes to intimate situations... even just holding hands in public can be hard for some people to do.
Maybe he was taught thru experiences during childhood, not to be affectionate in public (many guys are taught to be tough, not tender).
Most little boys won't let their mommy's kiss them in public... makes them think that other people are thinking they're little babies (if they get kissed by mom in front of them, their tough-guy pride/ego gets hurt).
People who refuse to be affectionate in public are generally afraid of what others may think of them.

I don't believe that. My significant other accused me of such crimes. We had to have a little talk about this as it was like we were leading seperate social lives. I wish she spend more time with myself and friends/famliy etc.

Could be or your significant other is trying to hide from somebody.
I have a similar problem with mine. You are not alone.

Not very thoughtful. Express your opinion to that person and see if it changes. If not, reconsider the relationship.

Maybe he just likes being alone with you. Your picture didn't show enough to guage your breast size accurately. Maybe he's jealous of sharing them... i mean you.

That or insecure in who they are. Or maybe you are just a booty call. Either way, it may be time to move on.............
