Are relationships nothing more than an emotional business transaction?

Is it just an exchange of currency? Where the currency is each others needs? Is it just two people doing stuff they don't want to do in order to please the other person, in hopes that they will return the favor?

It took many heartaches to finally realize this. A relationship cannot be 50/50 like a business deal where both sides get something in exchange. It has to be 100/100 where both people give their all.
