The Difference Between Overt and Covert Contracts in Relationships
Overt contracts are explicit agreements where both parties openly agree on the terms and expectations. On the other hand, covert contracts are hidden agreements where one party secretly harbors resentment and takes advantage of the situation. Covert contracts can manifest in various ways, such as verbal jabs, showing up late, or seeking opportunities with others. These contracts are often detrimental to relationships. While overt contracts can lead to positive outcomes, there is always the risk that the other party is engaging in covert contracts. It is crucial to understand whether someone is operating under overt or covert contracts, as they may appear similar on the surface. The challenge for humans is deciding whether to trust others and take the risk of potential hurt or to be cynical and skeptical until trust can be established over time.
