 Every situation is different, therefore your own situation will not match what others have done, can you give us more information? Also do you want to uproot your life? Do you know this man well enough to spend your life together?

 My husband did this. He lived about 100 miles from me when we met. I owned a house and had the better job.
He let his lease go, gave up everything and moved to be with me.
Thankfully it's not so far from his old location so that he can get up there when he needs to as a day trip.
The only reason we did this was due to my job. He was in his late 30s when he did this.
Our plan is to move to a new location together when I retire in a few years. He is younger than I am so his job will take precedence when we move.

 I think the question you must ask yourself is would you be secure there? Would you be able to get home if things went wrong?
It would be an adventure to try living in a different country. However always make sure you have your airfare home. Do not be completely dependent on your partner. Keep your independence. Do not get trapped.

A couple years on we're married with a new baby and it's fantastic. I really couldn't t be happier. I waited my whole life for the one. And I met him and had to go for it. I knew I couldn't live without him and I knew that I would never get over him. You have to realize that u can't always have it all in life and sometimes u have to sacrifice things to commit to someone. It was so worth it for me I left behind my friends, family and career in London And I gained a family and a new life What are your priorities? It's so hard to meet the right person. If you have then go for it. What do your friends and family think. Mine supported my decision. They know me well and knew it wasn't a bad decision
