Hi,

Its interesting to see what people brought to the table.

And no, I wouldnt rob, kill, bust him out of debts when he does not work... Thats out of the equation, because if i ever think he would ask me for something like that then why on earth i choose to be in a relationship with him.

What i'm trying to say which are those grey area in a relationship, where there is no right or wrong decisions, complicated situation. It sounds vague, because i dont really "in" any situation yet, it just some general discussion that i thought it will make a good debate

 

You said anything. The above would fall under that category. So in fact, your anything actually has perimeters and limitations. So what are they?

 

I think you are more enamored with the romantic gesture of anything than what it actually means. Based on the above you are looking for a give and take as the dealbreakers would be too much giving for you to be in the relationship.

No, not what he's saying. Relationships need to be reciprocal. Which is not the same as quid pro quo. It's when both give of themselves freely... and don't keep a running tally. The one way deal is usually indicative of a narcissist and codependent. The boyfriend is wise.

 

Quid pro quo literally means something for something. How is that not give and take?

 

While it has become commonly used as a term tied to harassment, etc. it actually is a neutral statement when translated.
