I am a regular who has name changed for this.
My DP plays in a covers band (I wont say what he plays as it might out me!) - they are a just a covers band that play 3 - 4 times a month in local pubs etc. he enjoys it but the pay isn't great. he has a day job though so really it has been just a hobby for him.
However he has now been offered the chance to play in a very well known, very popular tribute band, he had to go through several rounds of auditions over the last few weeks and has now been offered the job.
I am a bit worried about this as this new band regularly play to 1000's of people and have played major festivals and supported very famous bands. they play all over the country and he would have to stay out overnight sometimes, they even play abroad so he may even have to do that occasionally.
to be honest, I am feeling a bit worried at the thought of him being in this band, I don't want him being miles and miles away from me and the kids every weekend. I worry that our little life at home with the kids will just not be as appealing for him when he is performing in front of loads of adoring people and having an amazing time. I used to be a singer in a band (thats how I met DP, although the band was nowhere near the scale of this one) so I know only too well the buzz of performing and having people telling you how great you are. Its an amazing feeling and how nothing seems as exciting compared to it. It doesnt help that I miss doing it myself and part of me will be jealous of him for still being able to do it.
I don't want to say anything to him because he is thrilled that he has been given this chance and the money is fantastic, not life changing but will pay the rent, bills and for treats like holidays etc.
aibu? what should I do?
