text: It's up to you. One thing you should remember though is your family is going to be your family no matter where you go, and at some point in you life you are gonna be away from them. Do you really want your family to be the deciding factor in you not moving? I moved from PA to MI to be with my husband, and I know with everything in me it was the right decision. Yeah it's hard at first being away from your family, but it gets easier. You friends will continue being your friends no matter where you live, and if you move, it's a chance to make new friends. Yeah living together is a big move in a relationship, but one question is, do you see yourself being with him for the rest of your life? If so I say go for it. The only way to truly know someone is by living with them. You get to know all their little quirks before marrying them. Being around someone all the time, they can't hide little habits from you, plus you can see if you can actually live together. Alot of marriages end in divorce because they find out after they are married that they just cannot live together. I think it's a great idea if you're up to new things and meeting new people. Plus you have the bonus of being with the one person you truly care about. So I say go for it...good luck with whatever you decide :D
