Sometimes there are people who only provide assistance or offer something nice when they're getting something (or expecting to get something) in return. This can result in unhealthy power dynamics and so this week, we're exploring why people have transactional relationships in the first place, if they're a negative thing or not, and much more. Join our amazing community of listeners at multiamory. We offer sliding scale subscriptions so everyone can also get access to ad-free episodes, group video discussions, and our amazing Discord community. Multiamory was created by Dedeker Winston, Jase Lindgren, and Emily Matlack. Our theme music is Forms I Know I Did by Josh and Anand.
