As well off to mistreat a person

Put simply, if you treat a person well all the time, you are going to be taken for granted.
In fact, some people would say you're almost as well off to mistreat a person all the time, thus avoiding the whole relationship.

Hi, would anyone intrepret the sentence in blue for me?

Q1: What does "be well off" mean? I looked it up on a dictionary which defines it means "rich", but that doesn't fit in the context.

Q2: What does the whole relationship refer to?

Thanks!
