I'd be willing to summer in one place and winter in another. I have realized that the summer solstice makes me sad because the days get shorter after that. So where could I move and have the longest days year round? I'm figuring I'll have to live in two places.

OK, let me be more specific. I am looking for a REAL place or places to live. Name me a city and counrty, please.

The easiest solution would be to spend from late September to late March south of the equator. When the days are getting shorter up north, they're getting longer down south.
If you want to keep in somewhat consistent, the closer you are to the equator, the better (like Quito, Ecuador, as suggested above).

The sun basically rises at the poles at spring equinox and doesn't set until the autumnal equinox. If you lived at the N pole March 21-Sept 21, then at the S pole Sept 21-March 21, you would never see the sun set.
The farther from the poles you are, the shorter the "days" are (during spring and summer).

You'd get the longest days at the north and south poles. Good luck with that.
If you want days and nights that are of equal length and never change, then Quito, Ecuador is the place to be.

Go to the northernmost city in the northern hemisphere (somewhere in Northern Europe, Canada or Alaska) foe six months and the southernmost city in the southern hemisphere (somewhere in New Zealand or South Africe) for the remaining six months.

Every part of the earth gets an equal amount of sunlight! To get less sunlight....go 400 feet down in the ocean...it gets very dark there. The days remain the most constant near the equator.

The challenge, of course, is that living in a place that has an abundance of sunlight means it also has an abundance of darkness.
Hence.... the places you're talking about are very isolated.
But, if you want to go for it, here you go:
Barrow, Alaska.... and the South Pole.
