<prompt> Human: Preface: I am looking for finance advice, not relationship advice. Perfectly happy relationship, thanks!My SO has been offered his dream job but its in another state and 4 hours away. He turned it down last year when it was offered to him and I think part of him died. He turned it down because in 2014 we purchased a house. We really couldnt relocate at that time.Fast forward to this summer and Im offered a local job that comes with a large salary increase. Since we already came to the conclusion that we couldnt relocate because of the house, I accepted and have been working there for 2 months. Its my dream job. This is the second time theyve offered his dream job to him, this time with slightly more money. I really want him to have his dream job, too. I would relocate in a heartbeat if it werent for the house AND the job I just started. My job does have an office close to where his dream job is. I hope a transfer would be possible but I wouldnt dare ask until Ive put in a solid year of service.My personal finance question is: If he takes the job, essentially moving the four hours away... is it financially possible to maintain the house by myself until I can relocate? Note that although we currently split home expenses, the house is solely in my name. He wouldnt have an issue finding a place.My Stats:Maxing out my 401k Emergency fund establishedNo student loan debtNo kidsTake home: 4775monthIf I were to take over 100 responsibility of the house, my monthly expenses would be:2005 MortgageTaxes260 Car until Nov 2018 when its paid in full100 Car Ins125 CableInternetNetflix68 Cell Phone200 Electric40 water75 Best Buy 0 until February when paid in full110 Home Depot 0 until July when paid in full250 Other Credit Card paid in full by December250 gas200 food20 Trash50 PropaneTotal: 3753Id have 1000 left over each month. Id also be getting back 250month in December from paying off the credit card. Then getting back 75month in February and 110month in July once Best Buy and Home Depot are paid in full, respectively. Then 260month back in November once the car is paid off. My SO would of course help with expenses. I could look for a roommate or two, too its a 4 bedroom house. We are VERY hesitant to rent it out because there is an in-ground pool on the property and we dont trust renters to take care of it properly.Does Personal Finance think this is feasible? Any other suggestions?EDIT: Giving up on formatting  <response>: Sure, you can afford it.The question is, why would you want to afford it.Either you and SO are going to get back together somewhere How likely will it be to be where you are living now?Or, you will break up in which case, why would you want to live in a 4 bedroom house?Unless it is likely that you will get back together in this house in the foreseeable future, Im not sure what the point is in owning it?You dont need a 4 bedroom house if you are living on your own.You will have to sell the house eventually if you transfer to be near SO.You wouldnt have to sell the house if you stayed where you are and SO stayed where he is going and you broke up, but would you want to live in the 4 bedroom house by yourself?No harm in keeping the house for a while, while the future develops, but you might as well start looking at the option of selling it.Good luck.
