I think Nyhn was correct in saying it's all about finding a balance ... like, this time I'm moving where you want to go, but after that I get to choose, etc.
It's so important to recognize each other's goals so that there's no resentment in the future (something I had to learn the hard way). For example, I've had many talks with my SO about our moving to another country so I can pursue my studies. He keeps insisting that he's open to go wherever, but I want to make sure that once I choose a city, he'll then develop his own goals there (whether its go to school, find a job, study for an entrance exam, etc). I think it's really important for him to have a reason to be there. I said, "I don't want you to resent me in 2 years because I brought you to a city you hate" and he admitted I was right. Right now I'm thinking, if he can't find anything a LDR might be in the cards ....
