My (23F) Boyfriend (22M) wants to get in the film industry and I'm having some insecurities. How can I get pass this?
I know this may sound silly, but I really need advice on this.
My boyfriend of 5 years and I go to the same college, I'm a science major and he is a film major. His goal is to work in the industry and direct his own films. I've been very supportive of this since its a pretty big jump from the trade he was formally in.
I know this is completely on me but I'm really worried about the possibility of him cheating on me if he becomes a big name. I have complete faith that he will be successful but honestly that's what's scaring me. I know a lot of people in the industry cheat on their husbands/wives and their egos change them as a person, which is really freaking me out.
For some background my boyfriend is a really horny person, and I mean really horny, so I'm a little worried that he wont be able to control himself, considering he's had small "crushes" on other women while we were dating. He's never acted on these crushes but he's told me about them and it bugged me a little, but it was not that big of a deal.
I've also been told by friends that my boyfriend can come off as a little "pretentious". I wont lie, before we dated I definitely knew what they were talking about. But ever since we started being together, he's 100% calmed down, and my friends agree. I'm honestly a bit scared of that side of him coming through again if he becomes successful.
I'm sorry if this is just a huge ramble, it's late at night and I'm feeling anxious overall. I know I'm overreacting and its all definitely just in my head, but I could really use some advice. How can I overcome this insecurity I'm feeling?
This isn't meant to be a dig at my boyfriend at all, so please don't just say "break up" or anything along those lines! I really do love him so much.
