How to Make Your Boyfriend Realize Your Importance
1. Know your worth.
First, you need to know what you deserve- that is, to be loved, cared for, and valued by your partner. Don’t forget that you are special. You are amazing. Hence, value yourself. Don’t let your boyfriend keep making you feel that you are not someone important. In fact, he is lucky to have you, so he should treasure you just as how you treasure him.
2. Tell him what you feel.
Open communication is always the key to a good and healthy relationship. If you start feeling like he doesn’t value you anymore as his partner, you need to speak up. Be honest about what you feel. Express your grievances. Be specific.
However, you may not always focus on the negative. Emphasize that you’re telling all of these things to him because you want your relationship to work. You want to stay honest with him. By expressing your feelings, you are helping your boyfriend realize his shortcomings as well as giving him a chance to make it up to you.
3. Act what you feel.
Sometimes, telling your boyfriend about what you feel is not enough. You might not see any changes, weeks, or even months after your lengthy conversation with him. He might think the scenario is nothing new to him. Now, to make him feel the weight of the issue, let your actions speak to him. Create a little distance. Don’t always call or text. Don’t always see him. Don’t always follow what he says. Giving him a cold shoulder will make him realize how serious you are about the issue. Also, not seeing him that often will make him long for you.
Remember, if he really loves you, he will not allow you to keep feeling unappreciated, unimportant, and unloved. He will make it up to you. He will make you feel important again.
4. Go out with your other friends.
It is always a good thing to spend some time with your friends even when you’re in a relationship. Going out with them will make you feel refreshed. It will make you feel like you’re not in a box.
Now, going out with your friends is even more helpful when your boyfriend starts making you feel less important. Make him see that you’re having fun with your friends. Show him that your happiness does not only depend on him. He might just realize that he can’t afford to see you getting used to a life without him.
5. Limit the things you always do for him.
Do you always cook for him? Do you always give him a massage? Are you always the one who makes peace with him every time you fight? Are you always the one who says sorry even when he’s the one at fault? He might be too used to seeing you being there for him always and being head over heels in love with him that he no longer sees how important your role is in his life.
To avoid that to happen, make sure that you limit the things you always do for him. Yes, limit, not stop. If you stop doing the things that you used to do for him, it might make him feel that you no longer care for him. So, make it just enough for him to realize your importance.
6. Show how independent you are.
One of the effective ways to make your boyfriend realize your importance is to show him how strong and independent you are. Loving him doesn’t mean making him your world. Show him that you can still do the things you love doing- even without him. Travel alone. Go to work alone. Eat alone. Watch a movie alone. Doing these things all by yourself will make him realize that he’s not the only source of energy that powers your life.
7. Moderate your tolerance.
If you’re too tolerant of the things he does, even if you don’t like them, then he will think that he’s not doing anything wrong at all. He will keep doing this his own way. Also, if he thinks he has full control over things and over you, it will be too easy for him to stop seeing your importance.
Hence, moderate your tolerance. Stand your ground. Know when to let him do certain things, and know when not to let him.
8. Monitor your yeses.
In connection with the previous tip, if you always give in to whatever he wants, your boyfriend might be too complacent. He will not take you seriously. Thus, never be that yes type of girlfriend. Rather, monitor your yeses, and learn to say no when needed. Never ever allow him to treat you less.
Sometimes, you can say you don’t have to make an effort to make people see your importance. However, when you are in an unhealthy relationship, you don’t just simply get out without trying to fix it. If he starts failing to see your importance, you might want to help him realize how lucky he is to have you. Now, if he still continues to ignore you and not treat you as his partner, you know what to do.
Remember: You are strong. You are worthy to be loved. You are beautiful, and you are important.

So my story in a bit shell…met this man I went to High school with and never even knew one day we would be a thing….All is wonderful he moves in then we decide to move to his house and rent mine out. He suddenly turns into a different person and please not I pay my half of all. Starts belittling, demeaning me etc, tells me it is me all the time I’m the issue and he knows what’s best for us so I need to just behave. I love him but never feel good enough or pretty enough or body figure isn’t good enough. He works for his ex and seems to go out of his way for her no matter what and tells me it’s just business and she pays him but if it’s something for me I am incapable to do it so he had to etc. instead of a favor being something you want to do for your other half. Then tells me I’m lazy as far as my career goes bc I have been a single mom and couldn’t quit my job to do clinical for my RN just normal life deal I feel for me bc I have to have income. Yet it’s all me I’m insecure and I’m the one who needs to chill out or this is gonna end when he is ready for it to kind of deal. I’m at a loss he can be a very good man and yet make me feel like the lowest person in the world. I just want some kind of normal and someone to appreciate me I don’t know what is going on anymore or if he even loves me as he says he does. Thoughts?
I just want to let you know that you are not alone. I’m going through something very close to what you’re going through and I don’t know how to get him to see it. I feel unimportant, devalued, and not cared about.
The way we communicate is terrible, he gives me the silent treatment, stonewall me, he’ll demean, and discredits me, he barely ever shows that I’m important to him.
I don’t want to leave but I think I have to if I want to protect myself and my worth.
Maybe we can support each other and be each other’s strength through it. You’re welcome to contact me if you want my email is [email protected]
