Dealing with some difficult relationship issues, anons.

I'm an American and my Girlfriend in Britain. We met 13 years ago while I was doing a semester abroad. We've been together ever since and it has, overall, been a great relationship.

However, she has mentioned that she is unwilling to move to the US because she wants to be near her family. I've explained to her that either way we go, one of us is going to have to leave their family, connections, and friends behind, so I feel that it would be most fair to look at it from a financial perspective.

I own a house in the US while she lives with her parents (although her parents are pretty cool and much more helpful/understanding than mine). I'd likely have to sell my home as well as everything in it, incurring significant costs. Incomes in the UK are also significantly lower and costs much higher. I would also face double-taxation if I moved in the UK and she would not if she moved here.

I spent several years living in Britain and absolutely hated it there, so I'm not too eager to give in on this. I am, however, 31 years old and fear that I would be giving up on a relationship that has otherwise worked very well and that I have already invested a significant portion of my life into. I'd also be unlikely to find another decent person at this point in my life. All the available women my age are now emotionally unstable sluts who couldn't hold down a partner and get married.

Wut do?
