I think that something a lot of people don't consider is that even if moving will improve the relationship, it may not improve your life.
My boyfriend lives about 7 hours by car, 1.5 by plane from me right now and it's not possible for him to relocate and not be harmed professionally. I miss him terribly and wish that we lived closer, however I LOVE where I live. I like my school, I love my friends, I like my church, all the little extra life amenities are right there.
If I were to transfer schools to be where he was, I'd be commuting a hellish distance to a school that I don't love, and living in a town I don't find particularly enjoyable. While it would be great to be closer to him, I think I would be absolutely miserable in every other regard, and thus would start resenting him for it.
Our solution is that if we're still together when I graduate, we're both moving somewhere more mutually agreeable.
