US citizen & UK citizen relationship how can we be together?

Hi there, my question is pretty much in the title.

My girlfriend is British and lives in the UK, and I am American living in the US. We've known each other for getting on 20 years and after years of friendship and visits, have finally decided that we belong together. Problem is, how can we be together? Both countries have pretty strict immigration laws.

She's still sorting out a messy divorce so obviously isn't keen to jump straight into another marriage before we've had the chance to be together properly which rules out that route.

She has a degree and a job with a UK only business so international transfer doesn't look possible.

I never finished college and work a regular office job so no transfer opportunities there either.

Neither of us have kids, so there's no additional family involved.

I'm looking for advice on what we should do, we don't mind which country we end up in we just want to be together.
