My partner claims they are not seeing the changes or the improvements I’m making. I was called selfish, and seemingly unable to care for anyone else but myself. It really sucks.

Without knowing any specifics I can only imagine how unhelpful that is for you to hear. Extra weight on top of what you are likely already putting on yourself would be crushing. Keep working on you and doing what you find helpful and healthy.
Is it possible that your partner has been damaged by the past and your use? Is your partner expecting everything to change immediately? Have they provided any specifics they were hoping to see?
As a side note, in my experience getting sober involves selfishness and focused care on yourself. Sure it would be great if you could expand that to everyone around you, but maybe focusing on yourself is allmuouengotmright now.
