My Partner Thinks Oneself Superior-What to do? Superiority in Relationship

Are you in a relationship and your partner always thinks himself/ herself superior to you? Whether your partner doesn’t appreciate you for the works you do but takes all the credits of one’s own tasks? Whether the circumstances are making you feel inferior and you just don’t know how to deal with it? If the answers of any of the above questions are YES, this is a must read article for you and especially for your partner.

Before finding out the solutions, first, we have to understand the proper concept of superiority. It will make us understand whether the person claiming to be superior is actually superior or not.

The True concept of Superiority in a Relationship:

Superiority simply means to be superior in the eyes of “others”. This small definition contains a huge understanding of it. It doesn’t matter how much you earn, how intelligent on a particular subject matter you are, how good-looking you think of yourself, if a small component is missing, you couldn’t be superior. Just ask a small question to yourself, do others think yourself superior? Do your partner to whom you are imposing your superiority think yourself superior? If the answer is yes, you are entitled to the crown of superiority but if no, you are in a misconception of being superior.

All the leaders and intellectuals of the world are an inspiration to others not because of the reason that they think themselves superior but as others believe them to be superior.

The world famous Rabindranath Tagore, the holder of the Nobel Prize in Literature, explained in one of his poem that “telling oneself superior is not superiority. If the world is telling you superior, you are actually superior.”

So always remember, it’s not your own words of mouth which make you superior rather your superior activities make you superior in the eyes of others.

Now, let us talk about the solutions…

Solutions to the Problem of Partner’s Superiority:

So, you are in a relationship where your partner always imposes his/her superiority on you. First, you have to understand why they are doing so.

It may be possible that your partner is totally unaware of the fact that their activities are making you feel inferior. Most of the times, a peaceful conversation with patience and love solves the purpose. Don’t get angry on your partner, don’t be illogical, just have a genuine conversation stating your situation and feeling to your partner. If he/she really loves you, they will definitely understand and everything will become perfect again.

It may not be that easy as it is possible that your partner is habitual of imposing his/her superiority. It will take time for them to change their habit but you should be festal that they are at least trying. This is the sign of true love which is making them change their habits.

Anyone who truly loves someone will be the most careful of their partner’s self-esteem. If your partner themselves destroying your self-esteem, it could be a sign that either the component of true love is missing there in your relationship or they are just satisfying their ego with the help of you. If, after applying all the possible remedies, your partner’s attitude for you do not change, it may be a sign of an unhealthy relationship which will give only trouble in the future.
