Affirmations for When Your Partner Is on a Date
Navigating non-monogamous relationships can be quite the adventure, especially when it comes to managing emotions like anxiety or insecurity. It’s completely normal to feel a mix of things—curiosity, excitement, maybe even jealousy—when your partner is out on a date with someone else. Even in the most secure relationships, these moments can stir up a lot of feelings.
That's where affirmations come in handy. They’re a simple yet powerful way to ground yourself, ease those anxious thoughts, and remind you of the strong, trusting relationship you’ve built. By focusing on positive statements, you can shift your mindset from fear or insecurity to one of acceptance and compersion—finding joy in your partner’s happiness, no matter where they are or who they’re with.
Let's explore some affirmations specifically tailored for those times when your partner is on a date. Whether you’re new to non-monogamy or have been at it for a while, these affirmations can offer you a sense of peace and reassurance, helping you stay connected to your own inner strength and the love that underpins your relationship.
Here are some affirmations that can help soothe attachment triggers and promote a sense of security when a partner is away on a date:
