Trying to be supportive but...
My fiance and I are getting married in 3 & 1/3 months. He HATES his job and I hate that he is so miserable so we discussed his job searching to try and find something else that would make him happier. He works in radio and music and we live in Poughkeepsie, NY so his options are limited and I suggested that he send out his resume to other places and see what else is out there. Today he got an offer from a friend in his home town in Batavia, NY 6 hrs away. It's not that great of a job & the salary isn't much but he's willing to take it because he hates his current job so much. When he came to me and told me about it I thought that maybe they would be willing to wait until after the wedding. Nope they want him to start in two weeks. So now we have to pack up and move out of this apartment so that we can be separated for 3 months before our wedding and then probably be separated for longer after we get married because I'm going to have to find a job as well just so that we can afford a new place. I know that I should be looking at the big picture but this is not how I wanted my married life to start out.

I understand- H and I lived about 500 miles apart from when he proposed to about 2 months after the wedding for about 10 months total. My parents also started their marriage under similar situations except for my parents it was the military. Anyway- its not the most desired way to start out married life, but it could be much worse.
You are okay with moving right?
GL job searching!
I was in a similar situation. And a coworker is also in that situation. We both decided to remain at your jobs and be miserable due to pay and benefits. I hoped to find something similar or better in pay. We could not have done things otherwise.
I think that as long as you can make due financially the decision was a good one, but I don't think I would have ran out and done what your FI did.
As for living apart - you will make it work people always do!
