Item A Alex and Taylor are discussing their 12-year relationship. Alex says: "Looking around at other couples we know, I feel we have got a really good deal. I do the home maintenance, while you manage the finances and organising. It works out to a great balance." Taylor says: "Exactly, it represents a fair trade. And besides, we have built so much together. If we walked away now, all those years of emotional support, growing this amazing garden, and buying this flat would be completely lost. Honestly, I do not think I could ever find a better partner." Using your knowledge of psychological theories of romantic relationships, explain the remarks made by Alex and Taylor.
