I love my husband. I love his ministry. I love being a part of it. But boy oh boy is it one of the most selfless things I could do. I know this is an old post but I somehow came across it just when I needed to! But It definitely helps just hearing that I am not alone in the struggle.

I had a major breakdown when our house was infested with ticks this past year, so I totally get that desperation. Your blog post saved me today. My boyfriend who I currently live with is about to leave for his first major, longer than 2 week tour and I have been having totally hard feelings about it.

Trying to be super optimistic and plan girls weekend trips and fill my time with my kitties and projects as well. Thank you thank you for all of this blog! Just again, thank you. Our guitar players wife is unhappy and wants him to quit. I dont know how to help or if I even should. I can understand how she feels but its becoming a problem.

Ooooh girl, bless this post. I need it right now.

Glad it was helpful for you! Thank you so much for this post — it was truly helpful. My boyfriend is in a well known band. He has been gone all month, and will be gone all of January. How can you calm your thoughts during these moments of anxiousness? Like you said, building that strong communication is key.

This whole post had me almost in tears but I am at work so I had to hold back I must be super emotional. Thanks for letting your heart and soul out here it helps more than you know! You are such an inspirational lady, beautiful and kind — hardworking and humble.

    Do you think men go through the same thing when their wife is gone on tour? I do know some band husbands! I know they definitely miss being together in the same way and have to make sacrifices or have certain careers if they want to be able to go out and visit on tour, etc. Thanks for the post.

    I realise you wrote this a few years ago but so relevant to my situarion. Tour life can be tough, living on a bus but being left home alone sucks. But it is totally amazing when you see the band playing in front of thousands and playing with bands they idealise. Thank goodness for FaceTime and fur babies! I would be so lost without our dog.

    How to Be a Good Band Girlfriend: 13 Steps (with Pictures)

    My guy of 5 years, is a well known muscian about to tour after many years in hybernation. It often feels like, the beginning of the end. Now, all those giggles are cursing me…and those old conversations are, loud and clear. I fear he will stray. I feel stupid to stick around -that the inevitable is around the corner. PS-we have six dogs and i awoke to weird bed bug bites recently too. About to loose my mind but, keeping cool. Oh man, I wish I knew what to tell you! It may be helpful just to help you see that you can stay or if you need to go…good luck, wish you the best!

    My boyfriend almost 4 years just left for a month long European Tour with his band. If you have time, I would appreciate your take on this scenario… Warning: I feel a little raw and emotional right now. Let me make this clear… I have always dated and fallen in love with musicians. As a female rocker with many years of touring behind me, I know what the road is like.

    He cheated on me while touring with this band 2 years, so more anxiety around that. This really hurts my feelings. I thought they were my friends. Laura, I just feel like an idiot. This is the 3rd year in a row he has missed my birthday. I feel left behind. It hurts my pride, seeing as how I consider myself to be strong Joan Jett type female with plenty of my own things going on.

    Do I just shut up? Do I just need to keep working on myself? I have made all the mistakes of the days leading up to his departure; crying, freaking out, etc. Now I am in even more agony… Any advice? Thank you for letting me vent, ladies. Hope that helps in some way! This is the first blog post I have read where I can relate to so deeply. He is constantly on the road, and sometimes at home for weeks at a time when he is home we barely have issues The only difference with my situation is he lives in Las Vegas and I live in Tampa at the moment.

    I had lived in Charlotte for 15 years and decided to move with my family for a little while. Recently, we had a bad fight, we have been having issues with communication lately, and when you throw long work hours and irritation… things got bad…. Now he is on the way to another tour, we are supposed to meet in Miami and in Orlando soon. I feel guilty because I feel as if I am a burden to him and his career… It is hard being apart, I miss him so deeply, adjusting to this move has been super difficult and not having him here like I wish makes it sting more ….

    Do Musicians have a Dating Advantage?

    It makes me feel like I am incapable of handling this or I am concerned he is second guessing our relationship … I want to be supportive of him and his career , not a burden …. How do you make things right after a big meltdown?

    I don't want to fuck you when you're gross like that. He is the shit, the best, and you better listen to him, cuz if you don't - be ready for threats of being kicked out of the band or replaced. He is always right, does not want your opinion, and is usually not that great of a musician, but he doesn't know that. Apparently a fight with the BF in the band is a fight with the whole band. Plus, most of us hate each other from fighting over dudes in better bands than yours.

    I was then dubbed 'Yoko' even though I had nothing to do with him leaving the band.

    Insomnia, anxiety, break-ups … musicians on the dark side of touring

    In reality, it was the opposite, and I sold more tickets to their shows myself than the rest of the band combined. It's not at all because the lead singer stabbed someone or you couldn't make it to gigs because I had to drive you around to shows. Every show I went to, there were always girls that were there on the front row dressed scantily, hoping to catch his attention, which he enjoyed. I didn't mind as long as he didn't touch. He was only human, right? Into the third year, I start hearing rumors from mutual friends and people that go to his shows about how he's hooking up with random chicks at shows, and he's gotten into some heavy drugs.

    I was a bit surprised by this, since we had always been honest with each other. I asked him about it all. He admitted to the drugs, but denied the girls saying, 'I'm always faithful to you, babe Lucky for me, she posted pics of you guys making out on Facebook.
