If you met the partner of your dreams and (s)he lived at 400 miles away, would you move if it meant having to start up a new business in an area you knew little about...and leaving behind family and friends (if the partner was unable to move to live with you)?
Or would you just forget about it and hope to meet someone else eventually? My business used to be the only thing that was important to me and I'm terrified of putting anything else first, especially a relationship, in particular as it may mean having to leave behind a successful business in someone else's care

I'm old and cynical so I would have to hedge my bets. If this is a new love i.e.less than a year no, it's always great at the start of a relationship, you need to find a way of seeing them and keeping your business, Long week-ends etc. You can chat every day. It can work, build the relationship slowly and look at business options near the object of your affections. 400 miles is not that far these days. If the relationship is more mature then your family is always your family and your real friends will be happy for you, I would still take it slowly but if you have one successful business you can have another. I hope you have found the one for you, best of luck.

A relationship is made up of give and take, and a whole lot of sacrifices on each person. Some are an outward sacrifice like moving or quiting a job to raise a family or dropping out of school to support the family. Some relationship are not as noticeable in their sacrifice like their privacy in the bathroom or sharing the bank account. People do this every day and don't think to much about it unless you come across one such as yours. Only you can sit (preferably with your partner) and do the pro versus con list weighing out your options. If it feels right, generally everything will work out to the good, if it doesn't then deep down it will eventually overtake all the reasons you thought you should do it in the first place. Good luck in your decision

Wow, did I write this??? I'm in the same boat only my move is 3,000 miles. I am in the process of training and hiring the right people in my business to have it continue to run and be a successful business without me. My goal is 3 more years before I relocate. Dont give your business up, you can do this from 400 miles away. Follow your heart, but make sure family and business is looked after before the move is made.

Not sure I would be able to leave everything behind, is there no compromise? I would need to know definitely that the person looking after the business was 100 per cent committed to it and would then have to plan a similar venture wherever I moved to. At least that way I would have the security at both ends of the scale

For how long have you being with this person. Can´t you try to have a long distance relationship for a while? Night telephone long conversations and time to time visits are very good and work out for a lot of people. I would move only if I was 100% sure that this relationship would work out and was what I really wanted for my life. I believe that if you had to ask, you are not completely in love with this person.
