Should being and staying loyal in a relationship be a deliberate effort? How can one say that without thinking how misleading it would sound to the other party? Does that mean A is always constantly having the intention to cheat on B but keeps reminding that he/she is already in a relationship? It is really so misleading.
For me, I always thought staying loyal in the relationship would show how much the relationship means to me, and also how much I love my other half, to not even having the thought to cheat or lie and just want to be loyal to my one half in the relationship. Cheating is wrong, so wrong and should never be encouraged, thought of, taught or done. But why is it still so common?
I mean, if you can't stay loyal and have to constantly remind yourself that you are someone's bf/gf, then don't get into a relationship. What for get into one, then think of cheating, or even cheat on your other half? For the fun and satisfaction that you are getting, is it worth the heartbreaks and aches of someone whom you really claim to love?
I know that it's like a norm that there will always be a cheater somewhere. This is happening so often that when we see a happy ending, our first reaction would be "They are so sweet and happy together." then, we will kick ourselves in the face to think "Happy endings? Really?".
I really like to see how old couples remain together even after so long. It just gives me hope that maybe one day I can also find my other half that is able to stay with me for as long. Of course, staying together does not only mean physically, but mentally. I do believe that no one needs a partner that cheats, but it is almost impossible because of the temptations all around.
Money, appearance, anger, loneliness can all be reasons to why people cheat. And those who lost their fight to these, are said to have fallen for the many temptations in the world. So if there is so many temptations out there, how can we believe that the one we are with now, will stay loyal to you forever? Or at least till you pass on?
What can we believe in? Define loyal.
