When you as an musician are trying to have a relationship with someone who’s not. Trying to survive on the gig’s and product sales sometimes could be very daunting. The swing of income varies widely varies from successful to a struggling artist. Sometimes it’s not understood that this is a business and you are running your life as a business. Also that your business hours are not the same as a 9-5. Most music deals are secured after hours sometimes in the we hours of the morning. Along with shows and appearances. That’s why your other half has to be strong. If your a producer like myself you often have to produce music and record and sell or try to get it picked up and this process could take anywhere from a few weeks to a few years.
That’s just on personal level what about the fan level. When adoring fans and groupies start to throw stuff at you or pour it on thick. Both parties have to be strong because one has to refrain from temptation and the other has to be very trusting, with no jealously and very understanding. I’ve seen only a very few musicians relationship work because of this.
