Hi! My name is Debbie. I just wanted to thank all of you. I am new to the group, but have been searching for something like this for a long time. I am not quite a wife, yet, but have been with my musician boyfriend for almost five years. I am from a small town and most people don't understand what I go through with having a musician for a partner. It's tough because you don't have what most people call a "normal" relationship, as you all know. I have found that as we became more serious, I'm having a harder time dealing with "groupies". How do you all distance yourself from it? I know my boyfriend loves me and he is there for the music. I just have a really hard time with it. I've even gotten to the point of not going to shows, so that I don't have to see it. I must sound like a total mess of a person. I apologize for that. Everyone just usually tells me to just deal with it, get over it, or that I'm crazy. I hope some of you out there will understand and possibly be able to help me with this or just let me know that I'm not crazy!!

Thanks for reading!
