Agreed for my fiancé to move to Alaska first.

My fiancé moved to Alaska for a family business plan that is now falling apart, leaving me to struggle financially and emotionally alone while he is gone.

What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew how unstable the financial backing and timeline for the Alaska plan truly were before he left."
If I could tell you one thing
"Ensure there is a concrete, well-funded plan before agreeing to a major long-distance separation for a shared goal."
