Relationships
Zero-sum games
I suppose that people would view a break-up (eg, agreement, businesses, divorce, friendship, relationship) as the result of someone who is winning and someone who is losing. However, some break-ups will either result in two winners or in two losers. Real-life is different from (a) game theory. Most games are designed to result in winners and losers - and having fun...

The ancient Dutch saying is "soort zoekt soort", which translates like...
