Go. Now.
While you still can. Break the engagement as nicely as possible, hire a real estate agent to sell your house, and rent an apartment in that larger town an hour distant to put your books into. Line up some interviews ahead of time (there's nothing wrong with making some plans before you break the engagement, IMO), and get a job doing what you're doing now. Rent a moving truck, pack up your stuff and your cats, and strap your car onto a trailer, and get thee to a life of your own!
So says the woman who 'settled' for 14 long years when she should have left at 25, instead of hanging on till 32. Go, LW. Go now while you are still young (and childless) and go live the life you know you can have.
