I am happy for you based on your first comment and agree wholeheartedly with your second comment. But it does beg the question, if you see eye to eye on everything but this, what else have you had to compromise?
I know that tone of voice doesn't translate over the internet so please believe that I'm asking out of a sincere desire to be helpful.

I more so meant that what he's asking is a big compromise.
We have to compromise on differing sleep and personal schedules or what we do for fun together. These are small compromises to make that are doable.
Never living in my home state ever again and being away from family and friends forever is a big compromise. I have already moved out of state for him, and left a job I
loved to be with him. I am in my early 20s and I don't mind living away from home for some time, I actually wanted to do it eventually to gain some life experience/ independence from my tight knit family. I wanted to try and settle down in my hometown a few years down the road when children are involved. I am also not particularly fond of the place he wants to settle down and can't imagine myself remaining there forever.
This is what I mean when I say a person is only willing to compromise so much.
