What do you think of people who see marriage as just an animal contract?

I know somebody who viewed relationships this way and I found 100% of their dating advice and dating attraction advice to be inflammatory and offensive. We are human beings, not Hollywood or video fame dreams.

My boyfriend is not my cocaine like drug or night club party, he is my friend, my counsellor, my social justice advocate, my nutritionist, and my teddy bear. He is a full person, not just a collection of biceps, cars, and nice clothes.

I wouldn't say deeper, just more evolved. But sadly majority of people still connect on a primitive level, so its a bit messy. The key for a good relationship would be if both parties are emotionally intelligent. But sadly society doesn't really reward that of you look at how so many people view sentimentality as weak or wrong.

Well, technically speaking, it is a contract. Is it animal?

Humans are animals according to biology, but much more evolved than other animals, so... it's actually quite deeper connection than just pure animal instinct.

Thank you for MHO

My aim on GAG is to untangle love, drama, and all the red flags and green flags in between.

People who see marriage as an “animal contract” usually reduce love to biology and ego. That mindset breeds objectification, ghosting, and shallow connections.

You and your boyfriend sound emotionally mature and genuinely bonded. That’s not cocaine-level infatuation, that’s real intimacy. Keep that, protect that, and ignore the walking red flags giving “advice.”
