Impasse in relationship... where do we go from here?

I'm with my partner almost 3 years. I'm in 40s and he's in 50s. We are both quite independent, neither of us have been married before, no children. Until a year ago we lived close to each other, when, out of the blue he "fell in love" with a house an hour's drive away and up and moved. It wasn't something we discussed and he knew I was a bit taken aback at this. We do see a bit less of each other as a result of his move. Now he's saying how are we going to progress our relationship. He said he'd like me to spend more time in his place, which is hard for me as I work long hours. Also, it is not somewhere I'd like to live long term and I'd no input into it. He's not going to move anywhere in the near future I don't think and I'm not willing to leave my area for somewhere he's decided to move to.

I'm actually feeling a bit scared now about the future. Do we just continue on dating? I'd appreciate any advice.

He’s not a “partner”, you’re just dating. Setting aside practicalities, would you actually want to live with him in the future? Doesn’t sound like you’re that into him.

Travel to see each other should be reciprocal.

Is it possible he moved trying to end the relationship slowly?

THis all sounds very familiar, there was a very similar thread posted here some time ago.
