A affair in which one or both people have recently come out of a painful divorce/long-term relationship; somewhat of a "practice run" for the next serious relationship. More meaningful than a fuck buddy or friend privilege, a T/R is monogamous, and involves close friendship, sexual relations, and often genuine love, but no potential for permanence. Frequently arises between people who were already acquaintances, and is the relationship-equivalent to a halfway house for broken hearts on the mend.
"I think Jeff is absolutely amazing and I would love to go out with him in the future, but I'm still healing from my divorce and this transitional relationship with Dillon is all I can handle right now".

A transition person is the first persion you date during and/or after the ugly ending of a long term serious relationship, or possibly a drawn out death of your partner. They comfort you through the pain, self doubt, insecurity and other difficulties. Then, as you heal, they are a reminder of that terrible time and pain, so you gently ease them out of your life.

A very complicated mathematical ideology as explained in part A: But best explained and used in Part B.
A: In mathematics, a binary relation R over a set X is transitive if whenever an element a is related to an element b, and b is in turn related to an element c, then a is also related to c.
Transitivity is a key property of both partial order relations and equivalence relations.

B:I touch my balls, then I touch your forehead. By definition of Transitive Theory my balls have now touched your forehead.
