Boyfriend "unclear" of where he should be

    I have been with my boyfriend for 6 years. I'm 30, he's 31. We are completely in love and have always spoke of our future together (children and marriage).

    Now Something that has popped up time and time again is his feeling of "belonging" somewhere else. He has lived abroad before, and has never found a place he wants to settle. He said he always has a feeling that he should be elsewhere, but he never knows where that should be. He constantly says that he loves me and knows his future is with me but he always has that feeling that he should be somewhere else. I have offered to move away to see if he would be happier somewhere else, but financially we can't right now.

    I always thought that when we got engaged, it would be him saying that he is ready for THIS life but he recently said that he feels he will always feel unclear of things, where he should be in life etc.

    This really hurt me. I just don't know if I can continue our life together if I feel like he always wants to be somewhere else. I am mad about him, and him me. We have a great relationship otherwise, but in the back of my mind, I always felt that at some point he would have an epiphany and be truly happy with where we are right now. I don't think this is ever going to happen.

    Has anyone ever been in a similar situation?
    Any advice?
