**Insidious Covert Contracts undermining and transactional vs. Overt above board **
The dog-human relationship is straightforward, unlike human relationships. Dogs may manipulate for food, but they don't undermine or take advantage of you. Covert contracts, on the other hand, are harmful and involve hidden resentments and undermining behaviors. In romantic relationships, covert contracts can lead to unfulfilled expectations and negative outcomes. Overt contracts, based on mutual agreement, are positive. When people feel threatened, they often engage in covert contracts to protect themselves. This behavior is a flaw in human nature, driven by a desire for a false sense of certainty. However, the only certainty with covert contracts is that they end badly.
