OH moving away, not sure I can go too

    Myself and a man Ive known since college (finished 6 years ago) got together as a couple about 6 months ago. We don't live in the same town and have been commuting to see each other as often as we can manage. He is in the final stages of a postgrad and he intends to go to Australia for work when he finishes his course. He would like me to come with him and I'm in two minds about what to do.

    I'm currently unemployed and there would probably be much better chances of finding work over there but Ive already been to Australia on a years working visa. I cant get the same visa again so would have to be offered a job before going over to work and so far my applications haven't been successful.

    The other thing is I'm worried that moving abroad together is taking it way too fast. Even though we have known each other for years, we've only just started as a couple and so far its been conducted with us living apart and seeing each other a few weekends a month. Id be more comfortable taking it slower but he's keen to get going as soon as he can. I feel like I'm stuck in limbo, on one hand Id love to be able to go over to a great job and on the other, its so far away, if the relationship didn't work out Id be so far from home and everyone I know. And then theres the possibility I wont be offered a job at all and we'd have to call an end to something thats just started.

    Any advice?
