semi-egalitarian relationship
noun
A modern relationship structure that blends equality with a couple of intentional, classic rules:
1 Finances, housework, and decision-making are shared 50/50.
2 The woman keeps her last name after marriage.
3 The man is expected to be the primary earner from the start and maintain that status throughout the relationship.
4 Any children take the father’s last name.
A progressive, balanced setup with a couple of mutually agreed traditional elements.

When the baggage (i.e. commitment issues) from a previous relationship causes a person to break up with their new partner, and as a result, that new partner gains the baggage of the dumper, which causes problems in the new partners future relationships. Similar to an S.T.D., except mental rather than physical.
"Dexter, why don't you just date that cute girl from school that texts you all the time?" "I can't! Catherine gave me R.T.B. (Relationship Transmitted Baggage), and ever since I have serious commitment issues."

A relationship in which one partner has to pay the other in order to be in a romantic or platonic relationship with them. It can be a one-time payment or a subscription; it depends on the partner.
“Stacey and I are in a paytonic relationship. She’s great, but it sucks that I have to fork over $50 every month.”

A Rubik's cube relationship is a relationship that has gone south, typically with a narcissist. Trying to get the relationship back to where it once was, is like trying to restore a Rubik's cube back to its factory new condition. The relationship has flipped, and gone from the best thing that ever happened to you, to a total and complete nightmare.
Her: Why did you and your ex get divorced?
Me: It was a Rubik's cube relationship. It went south and we could never get it back to where it was, mostly because of the word salad, the loop de loop conversations, and total lack of accountability
