First off, thank you to this wonderful community for the incredible advice and support given on my previous post. I return today with a new concern that I'd love your perspectives on.

Last night, my girlfriend and I spent our evening at our local swing club, The Ranch. She looked absolutely radiant and I'm continuously in awe of her beauty and grace (and never miss a chance to express this to her). Despite this, we've had a few discouraging experiences recently where we play with another couple and the husband either starts to cuck or experiences other challenges.

This has unfortunately started to impact my girlfriend's self-esteem, leading to her not feeling the confidence to play with anyone. I noticed her beginning to compare herself to the other women in the club, which was hard for me to see. In response, I swiftly guided us from the play area to a more relaxed conversation area, and we left shortly after. I want to stress that I never pushed the desire to play with anyone else. Much of my pleasure is rooted in her pleasure – I'm definitely a soft dom service top who experiences a lot of compersion.

My question to this community today concerns how to help my partner rebuild her self-esteem and self-value after these discouraging experiences. We all know the importance of "small victories" in confidence rebuilding. Women and AFAB folks, what has worked for you in these situations? What can I do as a partner to support her better? Her primary love language is words of affirmation, and while I give these freely, I sense she needs something more to regain her confidence. I appreciate any advice you can provide. Thank you in advance.
