Can i quit my PhD program with MS?

[rollypolly12]

Hi all. I just finished my first year as  a PhD student in chemical engineering. I am generally satisfied with my program and school. 

But I am seriously considering to quit my PhD with MS if possible. This is mainly because of my girlfriend. She is currently working at West Coast as software engineer, and she cannot find a job in the state where my school is. After long discussion between us, it seems that most ideal option is to quit my PhD and to re-apply for schools near her for PhD.

Since I have done my first year study with some directions of my research, I would like to quit with MS. 

Before I actually talk to my PhD advisors  on this, I want to ask whether anyone has a similar experiences.

There are two things that worry me: 1. whether the department keeps providing stipends or not.  2. whether the relationship with my advisor becomes sour or not

I will appreciate any comments on this
