I am a 45 year old single parent. My 21 year old daughter is away at school about 2 hours. My 18 year old son lives with his dad full time. I don't get to see him very often. I have been in a long distance relationship for over a year. We live 300 miles away from each other. We do see each other 3-4 times a month. He has asked me to move in with him then get married. I told him I would not move until we got married. Since I am moving I must quit my job. I'm having anxiety over moving away from kids and quitting my job. I have always worked and the thought of not having a job is frightening to me. My SoOnsaid it was fine. I have a very good savings and after selling my house it will be even bigger. Also, my daughter is having some health issues but should be on the road to recovery soon. I love this man very much and I want to be with him. I love his city and have made good friends there. Any suggestions?
Get a job in his City before you move. Sell the house before you get married and keep the assets in a separate account. Or rent your house out. Then give it a shot, your kids are grown and nothing is holding you back but the job.

Check into how taxes are going to hit you if you sell the house and pocket the money. You may want to find a way to shelter that money a bit.

I've been the person who quit a job to move to a new city for a relationship. I lined up a job in my new city prior to moving there, and it was fine.
Your children are adults and do not live with you full-time. When they are done with their schooling, they, too, will have the opportunity to move wherever they like, including potentially hundreds of miles from you, and you wouldn't think they should feel guilty at doing such things, would you? It's your life. Make preparations with your head on straight and do what you feel is best for your happiness.
