I Believe A Relationship Is Built On Respect And Trust

Which my relationship is totally lacking. And I realised the main problem here. The reason to him lacking respect towards me is the fact that since we met I was extremely self-conscious, had very little confidence and was super shy... So I am in his eyes worth as much as that shy girl and not a woman I am growing up to be. I feel like I am worth a lot more now, more than he treats me like...
But the question is, what do I do with the relationship?..

Try asserting yourself and take control a bit. He should notice that.

@Soultobe: Sorry. I know it wasn't what you wanted to hear.

@TakingABreak: That was exactly what I wanted actually. I constantly think that he replies in a rude way to me, yet how can I be sure that this isn`t normal and that all men aren`t like that. So it was nice to hear that it was a disgusting reply

I never been in a relationship with someone before in person,but I feel like a can understand your situation 😞....You have to make your decision, if you want to leave him or stay with him...don't listen to what others say,its just their opinions...I'm sorry but you have to figure out what's best for you ☺ I told this to someone on here before 😞

Have you been open with him about it? I'm very self conscience too. My wife understands it. Most times the relationship is still very frustrating but that's another story. But at least she knows.my feelings

I have told him a million times. He simply doesn`t understand it, like I`m speaking in a different language. It feels like he doesn`t want to give me more respect or treat me nicer. I simply don`t know why and it is extremely painful as all my life all I did was be good and kind and don`t do crazy things. Yet as I got into this my first relationship, he treats me so cheap..

I grew up my whole life that way. No one understood y anxiety. My shyness my depression. Really made growing up difficult and very unhappy. I always hate suggesting counseling but if you love him it may be worth it. To hear it from someone else in a different way

You deserve your happiness; if you can't find it with him, then you should look elsewhere. Your partner should nurture and appreciate you, not make you feel worthless. I know this is not easy advice to follow, but it is the best way.
