so in my opinion two people in a romantic relationship that also own/run their business together is a completely different thing than what the 'helsinki' poster described, unless their paid assistant they found on craigslist also has other, uhhh.... duties
Absolutely. It was mostly a tangent I wanted to write out.
On "other duties," I think a lot of people have that mindset in a partner: mechanically do these things that benefit my emotional state, while I mechanically do my things that benefit their emotional state, and repeat until death.
With the common form of payment being money and material goods, for material services. Transactional.
A disheartening state of affairs, but more common than not.
