A transactional relationship is an interaction or partnership built on the expectation of mutual reciprocity, where both individuals focus on what they will give and receive in return. Often characterized by score-keeping, cost-benefit analysis, and a quid pro quo dynamic, these relationships are common in professional settings but can become unhealthy when they dominate personal or romantic connections.
