Experience with your AC moving abroad to be with their partner?

[Anonymous]

My DD is 20 and has been dating her boyfriend (22) for a little over a year now. They go to school together, he's finishing up his masters, and she's a junior completing her undergrad. He's from the UK and is graduating in August and already has a job offer lined up and knows that he is going to return to London for his job. My DD will be graduating in spring of 2024, and from what she says, they are planning to do long distance for a year until she graduates, then she is likely going to move to London to be with him.

Anybody have any experience with your kids moving abroad to be with their partner? I try and be supportive, but I've also had talks with her about how she should put herself and her career first, and if moving abroad aligns with her goals then she should pursue it, not just move because of him.
This is her first serious boyfriend, so I am worried that she's planning her whole future on what he wants (He said that he doesn't ever see himself living in the US) but it is her life so I know she will make her own decisions.

She should try networking. It's a wonderful way to experience a new world. Sounds really lovely

She might want to transfer to one of the Unis in the UK. It least she will have an option of being employed legally there for 3(?) years

I lived in London at the age and loved it. Has she looked into studying abroad her first semester senior year? Then she could come back home and graduate.

If you guys have money she could graduate and then do a masters at LSE. That would be fun.

I'd be fine with it if she had a plan for how to work or go to school

a) they won't last the year of distance
b) she's not legally eligible to live long term in the uk unless she marries him
c) MYOB
