5 Ways Relationships are Like a Job, and Sex is Like Money
As you know this came from my conversation with SerenaDante about sexuality rising after a breakup. I told her that money isn't so able to bring up worry when you are getting it. But here are the 5 reasons relationships are like a job, and sex is a lot like money.
1. A breakup is emotionally like being fired from a job or quitting. Your biggest worry is trying to find another job that will take you in and all of your great skills, no matter how long it takes you. Meanwhile, eventually, your biggest focus would be on what you are going to do with your skills in the meantime.
2. The protocol is if you do the job you love right, you get the money. The less you do it or the less you are able, the less money you earn.
3. It's not an issue to complain about or such a commodity to chase, when you already get it. But when you don't have it (sex or money), that's when you just wish you could have more of it.
5. Despite the ills that made some people hate it and the fulfilling thing that make you love it, the point pretty much is that at some point, you just have to have it.
4. Another good comparison of relationships to jobs is that you can never ever tell anyone that the reason you want somebody is for the sex. Ever. Even if you mean it. Because if you do, you'll get either nobody or nothing but cheap, unfulfilled pity sex.
Any other things you want to add to the comparisons?

I like #4. Pretty darn true.
so very true...
Excuse the sequence. 4 is supposed to be 5.
I haven't really thought about this in a long time, but it is very true. I can definitely relate to #1.
nice!!
I don't know... it doesn't sound right to me. I guess it depends on what level of relationship you are talking about.
In a good marriage or long term relationship you eventually feel "unconditionally loved" or you should anyway... This level of intimacy or feeling you will never get from a job. They pay you to get something done period... If you screw up you are toast. Not so in a good relationship, people love you even though you screw up.
I believe a good job is one that makes us more happy than not and gives us a sense of fulfillment. A good relationship is one that nurtures, brings us peace and makes us feel loved. Sex and Money are ingredients in the mix. In those terms, to compare sex to love, and money to fulfillment is kind of shortsighted...eventhough you are kind of right in the "handling" of both, jobs and relationships. You have to take good care of them, like you would a growing child.
