If you are familiar with the Bible, especially the Old Testament - you know that love triangles aren't a new thing.
Since time immemorial, love triangles have been an integral part of life. Of course, it would be short-sighted to limit the notion of a love triangle to a romantic one (though that part most certainly also holds true for most people.) But if we expand love to include where we live, what we do, and all those we share life with and not just our partner - the love triangle is hard to ignore.
With this expanded view, life reveals itself as a love triangle consisting of what we have, what we want, and what we need. And by way of time, it (life) resolves itself across those three stages - manifesting in our relationships, in our work, and where we live.
The trick I suppose is to be grateful for what we have and to steadfastly move onward and upward in the awareness that though we may not always get what we want, we more often than not get what we need.
