To really make it in my chosen career, I'll have to move towns. But I've just bought a flat, the love of my life is here and all my friends. I don't know what to choose!

There's a trade-off for everything. I moved a lot for career purposes and in my experience, you make new friends whenever you go somewhere. It really expands your mind because you get to know so many different kinds of people. My family was a 6 hr flight away. The second move was a 12 hour flight. That was hard, but nowadays there are webcams with free voice, etc. Re the love of your life. If she really is the love of your life, marry her and take her along. I also have a flat in my hometown that I have rented out. Today, I'm 45 and don't have to work anymore, whereas most people have to work until they're at least 65. That is the trade-off. Whatever decision you make, consider this: Imagine you're 60 years old and looking in the mirror and asking yourself what your life was like. You don't want to be in a position where you'll say: oh, I wish I had done this and that, because then it'll be too late.

If you are seriously considering moving away from "the love of my life" then you should go. Friends & family you can always visit. You can sell the flat. That special someone...that's different. But if you are even considering moving away from the special person...then I would say they are not the "love of my life" When it is truly "the love of my life" you can't imagine living apart from them. Sadly many people settle for far less.

I moved 200miles (in engalnd this is distance) from a good job etc to be back home with my family, to be honest i much rather be where i was than where i am now, i moved back here 7 years and things havent gone quite to plan but hey i suppose they maybe wouldnt have played out in the city either.

if your job is good enough you can move your family and friends to the new town.

choose career, because if you hesitate between career and family, you aren't ready for family

Why not both. Can't you commute?
