Would you sacrifice your dreams to go live so far away with someone you love?

I know this guy, we met in France he recently told me that he is planning to move to Japan for a long time… he’d like us to get married and live together there.
I don’t speak Japanese and I will be so far away from my parents, friends, everything I know…
I will have to sacrifice my career, my dreams, everything I fought for… for a long time.
I am so confused.. the first thing now popping into my head is: does he worth it?

How long have you been involved with this guy? If this is a long-term relationship and you're sure that he's your human, then considering sacrificing everything else in your life is understandable.

It sounds, though, like you really don't know the guy all that well. And sacrificing everything in your life to take a risk on a relationship that may very well not work out is a regret waiting to happen.

If he really cares about you, he'll find a way to make things work with you even if you stay where you are. If he doesn't, that says a lot.
