omayotony: You will regret more when you go for your "not a long one of course" hug or just a quick "touch-and-go" kiss with your girlfriend.
You sure have a choice though. You can quit your job and return home to enjoy the "pleasures of nature" with your girlfriend, or make some sacrifices to put the rial in your pocket. To gain something, you need to sacrifice something. It is as simple as that!
