how do I prove him wrong

Embarrassed of him...as in, he's not good enough for you? If that's what he thinks, then I believe you should take him out and be as affectionate as the two of you are comfortable with in public. (Being respectful of others around you of course, haha) If you and some friends are going to an event, bring him along and really show him off, as if you were dating a celebrity. It sounds like he's in the need of a big ego boost, so showing him and others how happy you are to be dating him will let him know that you aren't embarrassed of him at all.

First- what makes you think that he believes your embarassed of him? What series of actions or "signs" did you encounter that make that mindset?

Second- Define "embarassed". Do you think he is scared to be himself around you? Or do you feel like he hides his true intentions of desiring something?

Third- Why did this originate in your beliefs? (Did he talk to you about it, or have you noticed these things throughout your time with him?)

You aren't very specific. You've got to explain a little bit more so I can help you. Why does he think that you're embarrassed of him? When do you think this started? How long have you guys been together. I could answer the question like you've stated it, but I wouldn't feel comfortable. Tell me about the situation and I'll respond as soon as I can.
