Hello Everyone! I'm new to this whole thing.
Hello! I'm Kayla and my fiancé (We've been together for 4 years) just joined a band and I'm having a hard time overcoming insecurities over it. He has Aspergers and music is his life and what he really wants to do so I support him in it as best as I possibly can. Now though this new band he joined is a big deal and they are looking to make it big. We are very happy don't get me wrong and I don't think anything could come between us because other than music I'm his life BUT I have worries sometimes. I went through my father leaving my mom when I was young and it has left me with residual distrust in people. Sometimes I am fine but other times I get little fits of jealousy and I'm thinking this is going to bode not good for this musical endeavor in which I want to support my fiancé doing. I know how "groupies" and women at shows can get and it worries me that some will try to come onto him or something someday. And I'm worried that if fans of the band have him on Facebook or something I'll be constantly creeping and comparing myself going, "Oh they are so much prettier than me," or something to that effect. I don't always have the greatest self esteem even though I know I should because he tells me he loves me and that I'm beautiful all the time and I know he means it. Ah I just feel all over the place writing this and hopefully some of you can understand me or give me some guidance and tells the band wife life isn't how I'm picturing it to be. I just want to be the best supporter I can be for my fiancé because he deserves this success.

Hey Kayla! I saved your post in my inbox to respond, and it's been a long time since you posted, but I stil wanted to respond!! 

 

I think your insecurities and worries are normal for a musician's wife! However, a good thing to remember is that your insecurities are solely your problem, and not your husband's. Also, the more you get used to the life, the easier it will get. You will get used to the attention he may receive, and will realize it's harmless and groupies or fangirls definitely don't always get what they want.

 

Besides the normal stuff, you mentioned your husband has Asperger's. That is what piqued my interest the most, as I also have Asperger's and I, too, have the Aspie passion for music :) I think an Aspie musician would be the best choice and the last kind of person I would worry about with strangers hitting on him and such. Aspies don't like strangers and just being social is a handful, so I think maybe after being social in order to further his music career, he won't want to talk to anyone besides you.

 

Sorry this was such a late response, I hope you guys are still doing well! Let me know how things have been since your post!
