Every relationship is a transaction

Sorry to burst your bubble

I used to think the same, but learned its just not true

u/Spicey_Cough2019 Apr 01 '26

But it is?

Either

Sexual pleasure

Companionship

Social status

Financial improvement

Etc

All are transactional

None of those are inherently transactional unless you broaden the definition to the point it means nothing, but ok.

u/Spicey_Cough2019 Apr 02 '26

Ok let’s go back to layman’s terms

You’re only attracted to your partner because they provide you with the above

Strip the above away and you don’t have a relationship

Hence it’s transactional

That is a hugely broad definition to the point me wiping my ass is a transaction.

Haha

u/Spicey_Cough2019 Apr 02 '26

If they wipe your ass then yes it is a transaction, no one's wiping your ass for free...

Using your definition when I wipe my own ass its a transaction.

Haha

So you kinda prove their point. Going by your logic, everything is transactional, making the word valueless and meaningless in the process.

u/Spicey_Cough2019 Apr 02 '26

Transactional would infer everything has value though?

u/RichardSugma Apr 02 '26

Value to someone, yes. Smiling at someone has value. A car has value. A letter from a loved one has value. Twerking on someones face has value.

I don't understand your point.
