Moving overseas for love? Or stay for career.?

The guy I've been dating with the last 7 years has moved overseas for work. He has offered me to live with him, but I'm too scared even though its a good opportunity. I fear he will always be at work and if I can't find a job, I'll be bored. Also I'm in a good job so moving overseas means might be jobless or starting from the botton up again. Any advice? What should I consider about this big step?

1. follow your heart
2. You have to decide which is more important, your job, or your relationship. Personally, I don't care about jobs, they come and go. A good person is a lot harder to find. But if money keeps you warm at night, then by all means..
3. 7 years? And you still don't know...well if it's been 7 years and you're "too scared" (your words not mine) Well then, it seems you've wasted 7 years of both of guys' lives! Let him go and you stay!
4. This is one of those pivotal moments in life where you see 2 roads and don't know which one to go on. Ask yourself this, you have been together 7 yrs, do you miss him when he is gone? I mean really miss him? Or is it bearable? If you "can " handle it, maybe you actually need a break. But if your heart is dying, you can't sleep eat , breathe, you miss his eyes , smile , laugh ! I say go girl!!!! A job, is a job, is a job! If you ever became unnecessary to them they would lay you off with out a moments notice. This may be good for your career, learn a new culture , language, way of life. Your Resume will be pretty impressive! You will be a better rounded person, and God only knows what opportunities you may find. Friends you can make, and find things to do to keep busy. Now is your relationship strong enough, secure enough, that you feel comfortable depending on him until you find work? Has he made arrangements for this? How does he feel about this? It's not an easy choice, But i will say trust your heart!!!! And don't loose a Love, ( if it's real) That will last a lifetime. Best wishes!
5. My only question is, If you have been dating for 7 years, is marriage in the picture. Giving up a good job is allot for someone to ask you to give up, especially with no security.
6. Just focus on the important fact. If, you moved with him. You will lose the job and be by yourself. That's kind of lonely, but if you stay. You will have an active job that you enjoy. You will interact more with people, than oversea. So, it's up to you. Good Luck!
