How can I convince my partner that other people are not as important to them as I am, so that they will prioritize me over everyone else?

It is impossible to determine what your partner thinks about you, only they can answer that. To try and convince them to prioritize you would require understanding why they think otherwise and address that. Start by communicating your thoughts on the issue openly, letting them know why it bothers you and what kind of impact it has on your relationship. If the issue lies within miscommunication or misinterpretations then there are several active listening techniques which could be helpful in reframing their perspective of you. Provide real life examples where you feel like they favor others over you, as well as expressing how much their affection means to you when things become too unbalanced. Be sure to approach this in an honest yet respectful manner and if necessary seek professional help to resolve any underlying issues before they get out of hand.

By pointing out specific instances where your partner ignores you or puts other people’s interests first, you can convince them that their behavior is hurting your feelings and make them more aware of how much you value the relationship. This could be beneficial for both of you and lead to more meaningful conversations about setting boundaries together and creating a healthier relationship.
