The solution isn’t to eliminate anxiety completely—it’s to manage it constructively, with empathy and awareness. Here’s how:
- Be emotionally honest. Let your partner in. Share your fears without blaming or accusing. When you open up authentically, you create space for connection instead of conflict.
- Establish clear boundaries. Boundaries aren’t walls; they’re guidelines for healthy interaction. Define what support looks like for you—and ask your partner what they need, too.
- Nurture intimacy on all levels. Emotional closeness grows when both people feel safe, seen, and supported. But don’t overlook physical intimacy—it’s another powerful way to maintain connection, affection, and trust.
