UPDATE: Me [26F] with my boyfriend [34M] of 2 years, I feel very guilty about possibly moving us for my career

Several months after I made this post, I made the final decision to apply to postdoc positions all across the US. I received many great offers and decided to move several states away to work with a well known PI in my field whom my advisors greatly respect. After enduring a couple months of long distance and uncertainty, we learned today that my (now) fiance got his dream job in the city I moved to. Not only does he get to remain a government employee, but his salary is also significantly higher than what he was making before.

​

Thank you so much for all your encouragement and replies. It gave me the push I really needed to take that dive to move cross country for a new job. In the end, it really paid off and we finally get to move on with the rest of our lives together.

​

TL;DR I decided to take Reddit's advice to take a job in another state. My now fiance found his dream job there and will be following me down to the city I currently live in.
