This is not a covert contract because there is no second party. IMO, it is a merely a personal deadline. It is only when there are 2 parties that it becomes an agreement, covert or otherwise.


While that's a fair point, we'll have to agree to disagree. A CC as defined in NMMNG is what AS and I have stated. While a private timeline for how long you will wait is secret, it's not the same thing. In fact in the case of a timeline you'd actually be more likely to be accused of trying to manipulate her by giving her your dropdead date than keeping it to yourself.

That's why I was advised to not share it by the anti D expert and why I would advise others to not share it either.
