There is nothing unusual about this. Every relationship is conditional and it has to benefit the parties in it. It doesn't have to be a case of physical or monetary gain like you pointed out. It can also be emotional.

I have a saying:

not every good thing last long

The quality of a relationship is not in its longevity but its impact. I don't believe in keeping a relationship that has outlived its usefully. Relationships are transactional and transitional as well.
