I am a 34 year old man deciding between two ladies on who to become my life partner. Lady A cannot communicate verbally with me, not very pretty but is very independent and has an aim in life. Lady B can communicate verbally with me, she is very pretty but her lifestyle looks a bit high maintenance for me. Which lady should I go for?

Dear friend, I understand that you are at a crossroads in your life and are trying to make an important decision about who to choose as your life partner. It can be overwhelming to feel like you have to choose between two people who each have their own unique qualities. It's completely natural to feel uncertain and even anxious about this decision. From a Buddhist perspective, it's important to remember that attachment to material things, such as physical appearance or material possessions, can lead to suffering. It's also important to look at the qualities that each person possesses beyond their physical appearance or ability to communicate verbally. Lady A's independence and her clear aim in life could be very attractive qualities in a life partner. Similarly, Lady B's ability to communicate verbally may also be important to you. From a psychological perspective, it's important to evaluate what qualities are most important to you in a life partner. Ask yourself what you value most in a relationship and what your long-term goals are. It may also be helpful to consider the potential challenges that may arise in a relationship with each person, and whether or not you feel equipped to handle them. Ultimately, the decision of who to choose as a life partner is a deeply personal one. It may be helpful to take some time to reflect on your values and goals, and to have open and honest communication with each person about your thoughts and feelings. Remember that there is no right or wrong answer, and that you have the power to create a fulfilling and meaningful relationship with either person. Best of luck to you on your journey.
