Don't underestimate your family and friend network. They are invaluable in helping us as individuals de-stress, solve problems, and feel valuable. If this move is something you have dreamed of and planned for, and is a once in a lifetime opportunity that will place you where you need to be in your life path, consider it seriously. If not, and you really love your boyfriend and can make a go of your life where you are, reconsider. Make a list of the pro's and con's for each. Consider who you would contact if there was an emergency-if something happened to you in the new location, would your family be able to respond? How would you develop a network of friends for time away from work? How would you and your boyfriend keep your relationship alive? Would you be all right missing big celebrations and events with your friends and family? These are all considerations. Also, would the move that far away really put you ahead financially?
I have done the same, but I only moved 40 miles away and I feel the distance. I have been in my new job since August 2005 and there are times it is very difficult to remember why I did this, but there are also times that are wonderful.

Well, because this is such a great opportunity, maybe this questions to ponder will help you-
Are you and your boyfriend very serious?
Can you keep the relationship going far away, does that matter a lot to both of you?
Would you come back after a few years?
Your sociable, yes?You can make other friends and going through a tough time on your own, although this is hard to think of now, is always a character builder and can make you more mature and understanding!Plus, I'm sure your friends care enough to not just let you go!

I personally could never do it and since I relate with living with family and so, money is a great admenity but its not the world contrary to popular belief. Do what makes you emotionally and mentally happy! Happiness is above all money and opportunity. Of course, if I were you I would try to find closer career opportunites in my area even though I didn't make a littl emore mula...note: you may be losing the love of your life and quality time with family that are not going to live forever! for the sake of a lousy dollar, no way!!! Question yourself when you die can you take it along to heaven or your next life, the money you have made during this life, hell no then **** it!!!

I moved from coast to coast of the US nearly nine years ago when my company transferred me. I'm not going to tell you that it was easy for me, but it did open up a world of opportunities. And I wouldn't say that I "lost" anyone. Sure, my old friends and family were 3000 miles away, but it wasn't as if they disappeared. Through telephone, letters, and e-mail, I've stayed in touch, and I probably talk with my parents more now than I used to. I joined a new church, made new friends, and have a great job. The move made me "get out of my comfort zone," and I'm a better person for it.

We have lived in various states in the US. Yes, we lost touch with some friends, but kept in touch with relatives and very close friends. The person who said bring your boyfriend with you has a point - why not? Is there not a good job for him where you are moving?
I find in exciting to move; meet new people; see new things. If it doesn't work out, you can always move back.

GO!!! I moved from Florida to Massachussetts for with noone here. I just up and left. I didn't even have a job yet!!!
If your boyfriend is so wonderful, ask him to go with you. You won't lose your friends and family.. true friends and family you'll always have. Plus, now you'll have a free vacation destination!

Only if this job is stable enough that you know it will last long enough for you to get secure, and if you are stable enough to hold it without the help of friends and family. Will you be taking any kids with you? If so consider their care also. If not go for it!

All you can do is give it a go ,if it does not work out then at least you tried but do you want to spend the rest of your life wondering if only you had gone what would life be like ?

at the age of 42 i moved from CT to NJ, while not across the country, it was still a move to the unknown and alone!
I left behind a gf and family......it was fantastic! 7 yrs away and then back to CT, then 5 yrs in NY..again not far, but away!
If you want the b/f, thats one issue, but if you want the chance to grow-----------go! whats the worse that can happen? maybe you'll have to go back home........buy the way, I didn't miss the g/f!
