I Speak Truth: There is No Trust without Loyalty.

Trust Issues

by Princess

Trust: confident expectation of something
Loyalty: faithfulness, or adherence

Everywhere I turn lately it seems like relationships are being broken.  People who may have been friends for years, talk behind each other’s backs. People who claim to be involved in loving romantic relationships/ marriages are now involved in divorce because of infidelities and lies. Families splitting, businesses falling. All these things are no coincidence, our society now lacks trust because our generation lacks loyalty.

Relationships suffer the most because of a lack of loyalty. Our society influences people against being loyal. Men are encouraged to be proud of sleeping with multiple women at the same time. Women are encourage to be whores. It seems like the media glamorizes these things. It is now acceptable for a woman to be a whore and sleep around because our society calls it “sexual liberation.” Since when does having no class make you a woman? Real women remain faithful to their men, and they save and share their bodies with only their significant other. Real men don’t feel the need to boost their ego’s by trying to sleep with anything walking. A real man will cherish his woman, and will respect her like the rare prize she is (if she is). So what if all the latest rap songs encourage you to treat women like crap, and so what if people glamorize this “sexual liberation” nonsense. The real question at hand is through all the crap that we encounter in our daily lives, are you strong enough to remain loyal? Is your loyalty unquestionable, or strong enough to evoke trust in your significant other?

In a relationship both parties should be loyal enough that when they are apart both of them feel secure enough to know that their partner is respecting their relationship and keeping other people out of their situation. The thing about loyalty is that it is selective. You can’t be loyal to everyone. If you are then you ruin your ties and raise conflicts, but you must pay very close attention to those who deserve your loyalty. When you find someone to be loyal to keep all others out of that relationship. Other opinions, influences, and gossip need to be kept away because once they are let in and trust is broken it will take forever to get it back. Whatever goes on in your relationship, friendship, business, or whatever leave it right there, outsiders only complicate things. This is why cheating is so disruptive. Bringing in someone else will only leave your partner questioning their role in your life and their loyalty to you. Why not just remain faithful and consistent everyday? If you are loyal and consistent your loved ones will always trust and support you. When people trust you, you will always be able to trust them. Life isn’t complete unless you have people to support you.

Also another important component that will bring trust in a relationship is honesty. No matter what always tell the truth! It doesn’t matter how much it may hurt your partner or what conflict will lie ahead, it is always better to just be honest. It is always better for your partner to hear the hard truth from you, then the twisted truth from an outsider. If you are always telling the truth your partner will trust that you never lie, and will refrain from questioning your loyalty and intentions. So always remain loyal and honest, and give those around you a reason to trust who you really are.
