[quote=Anonymous]I think you have to ask yourself certain fundamental questions: Can you live this way for many years? Do you like to haggle? His honesty about the transactional nature is less disturbing than the fact that he seems to set the "value" of particular favors/chores/sex acts. Why does he get to decide that one week worth of washing dishes is equivalent to having the car serviced? If you have kids, this tit-for-tat system will not be sustainable. You also should realize that the financial impact will be enormous, over time. I personally could not deal with the mental drain of having to constantly bargain with the person who supposedly loves me. I would also find such stinginess of spirit in a partner profoundly saddening. But perhaps you are not as sensitive. [/quote]
