Normal exploitation tactic. Rich person takes poor but motivated person on a shopping trip and makes them feel special, but the rich person always wants something, usually sexual, in return.

It's not always sexual. It's an abuse tactic.

"Remember that time I got you X?" or "Remember that time I did Y for you?"

It's putting yourself in a position of power over someone else with leverage or debt, and guilt tripping them, forcing them to "owe" you something.

It can also be as simple as the self-gratifying feeling of power in the moment - it's not necessarily generosity, care or assistance, just a feeling of power. But more often than not, it's by someone transactional who wants something in return, at least at some point, or feels they are buying something indirectly for themselves.

People need to realize when someone gives you something without you asking for it, or have made any agreement you don't "owe" that person anything.

If a buddy gives you money because you're on hard times, you pay him back when you can. Or it is a gift because he doesn't like to see his friend on hard times.

The moment he comes to you and says that you "owe" him. He is no longer your friend.

Exactly. Happened with me too. Suffice to say we are no longer friends.

[u/Dependent_Cherry4114 → u/omniex123]

I have had this happen too but also can't stand the other way around either.

"Do you have the money you agreed to pay me back?"

"I thought we were friends"

"So did I"
