I cry often when things don't go my way (though sometimes I cannot cry no matter how badly I want to). Just because you cry doesn't mean you are a brat. Crying can be a sign of frustration and a way to relieve stress. Sometimes after I cry I feel SO MUCH BETTER!

Plus, the things you've listed are things about you. And they are good points, so I won't argue that. But you didn't say anything about how your mate treats you. What is happening that makes you feel taken for granted? (I'm not trying to pry, if you don't want to tell me these things, please feel free to tell me to hush.)
