Dear Angelo,

I've been with my life partner for nine years. I still love him very much and he loves me very much. We're soul mates. I have been offered a promotion. It is a lot more money and a big title. It is everything I've worked for and ever dreamed of for my career. The thing is it requires me moving overseas and my partner definitely can't move abroad because of his career. Angelo, what do I do?

Dear Befuddled in Buffalo,

Wow.  This is a very difficult choice. Making choices between two things you really want are the hardest ones to make. I imagine the tug of war you may be feeling inside. You may be crying out for the peace that only a decision can bring.

Don't go. On your deathbed, it isn't the money or title you're going to remember in your life. It's the love. Love is the most important commodity in life. Don't sacrifice your true love for the ideals of capitalism. Keep the relationship you have rather than making your  job your new relationship.

I think many people are depressed because too much emphasis is placed on work and materialism in Western culture. Like Madonna sings, "nothing really matters, love is all we need."

Sure, passing on this job might hurt. But true love is something you can never replace or get back once it's gone. And love will make you richer, more fulfilled and happier than anything else in the world.

All The Best, Angelo.
