On a previous thread about loyalty I posted that loyalty is often based on the concept of exclusivity ... that can be to one person or a group and is not restricted to romantic relationships . As such , I don’t believe gender is the strongest influence of loyalty but rather individual morals , culture and religious values . .

Loyalty to me means integrity , transparency and staying true to my own own values . Obviously that encompasses subjective perception and self imposed boundaries which may influence my expectation of others .

Loyalty is one and the other is fidelity

It would seem the greatest conflict is between loyalty to what is absolutely right -and loyalty to a person, group or subgroup.

Part of what is absolutely right is regard for others, but if we are overly "not wise overmuch", we do others no service.

I would rather another be more loyal to absolute right than to myself.

(what is right is based on the situation -but there is really only one situation)

Loyalty is always putting your partner first... no matter what ...


I would agree but what about this scenario. What if your partner picked you over their kid/kids?

I know how I would rule on this subject but I'm curious to know how you and everyone else would side on this matter. The only reason I ask is because this situation actually happen to me.

Loyalty comes when you love the other person with your whole heart not just part of it.

I've never cheated, and many are the same.

That said, this question usually revolves around sexual prime, younger men tend to cheat more, older women in their sexual prime do it more.

Are women more loyal than men? What does loyalty mean to you? Is it the same as boundaries?

There are many kinds of loyalties..Loyalty in a relationship, in a friendship, in family..which do you mean, Madam?

Loyalty is an essential quality in any close relationship. When your person is loyal, it’s a strong assurance of another person.  Whether it be in work, business, family, friendship or a relationship, loyalty builds from specific characteristics.

Just because someone is a family member, neighbor or friend does not mean that they will be loyal. Ideally, we wish that were true (and hopefully someday it is), but for now loyalty must be earned.

Much like steps on a ladder, there are specific qualities that you can see in a person to know if they are truly loyal. We call this the  “Loyalty Ladder”.

A truly loyal person will be loyal because they want to.  Loyalty through obligation can be dangerous. But, sometimes it’s hard to detect. People can be deceiving due to their own personal agendas and show this subtly through their words and actions.

Loyalty is engrained in a persons moral constitution from birth. Personally I believe men are usually loyal to a fault. Why? because women are More Likely to File for Divorce Than Men Statistics show that women initiate divorce in up to 80% of cases. Just my opinion.

Whether or not that's true, I don't know, but I can say that women tend to be more attuned to their emotions than men.

I am NOT a believer in divorce, but for example, if a relationship is abusive and the abuser refuses to see they are abusive, it can mean a living hell for the spouse.

BOTH must be willing to accept fault and improve, regardless how "right" they may believe they are.

you get to know someone it develops into respect and love so you trust them through respect without respect you carnt have love and if you have that you have loyalty though loyalty isnt guaranteed of course ever there can always be temptation of some type

I feel identified with Blondey’s concept of loyalty.

Loyalty is a quality that keeps a person honest and committed to her/his feelings as long as they are in accordance with their believes and expectations. A person can be loyal not just to other person or people but to a company, governance, etc.

im here because ex picked helping her kid and leaving me and moving to a city she hates versus rural country she loves, to buy her 40 year old Daughter that refuses to work a house, after I refused to go in debt, work 70-90 hours for many more years to pay for it, and wanted me to pay all upkeep, yeah, and NOPE! I offered to help her rent apartment until she got on her feet, she lives with her BF, wants to leave him, but without working, has no money, & not going to get a job either, so renting an apartment wasnt acceptable, she wanted someone else to pay for everything so she can sit & play video games & on computer all day. NOPE. so just under a 19 year relationship, POOF!
