Dating hardworking and financially successful people, or people in the public eye, seems like the dream to many, but it comes with its own set of challenges. If you have low self-esteem, you’re easily jealous, or you need constant attention, it’s not for you.

Money and fame comes with attention and admirers. It’s your partner’s job to not give into that, but you also need to be self-confident enough that you’re not constantly overthinking or displaying jealousy, even when they’re respecting your boundaries.

Anyone who is hardworking is also not available 24/7. They may be busy in meetings, travelling, on set, training - it doesn’t matter what their job is but one thing is for certain - they won’t be at your beck and call at all hours of the day.

They certainly have a responsibility to make time for you, communicate unavailability and make you a priority when they can, but if they are doing all that, you need to be able to come to terms with the fact they have a demanding work schedule outside of your relationship.

People often think dating rich or famous people is all fun and games. It really isn’t. When you talk to the partner’s of rich and famous people they often highlight challenges or sacrifices they made as a result of their partner being rich and famous. Not everyone can handle it.

Also, I think in relationships it helps to have something you’re passionate about outside the relationship - but particularly when dating someone highly successful. It reduces the risk of you feeling like an accessory, and you’re reminded that you want them but don’t NEED them.

If you have no real passions / interests, it’s so easy for your life to become an extension of their life. Before you know it everything is about them and their career because you have nothing to divert your attention. You need SOMETHING that is important to you beyond them.
