I've been thinking/wrestling about this subject for a while now.Does anyone have any thoughts or examples of loyalty/disloyalty with regard to close family or friends?I'm in an ongoing 'situation'and would welcome your input.

I am very loyal, my childrens father isn't he is disloyal, my friends from school are loyal, the mothers from school are disloyal, loyalty is the way forward, disloyalty is bad

boudicca · 15/07/2004 11:26

thanks Ff,but what do you consider to be disloyal?

OP posts:
Blackduck · 15/07/2004 11:26

loyalty is sticking up for someone in public even if you bllck them in private!
Loyalty can be misused...women who let men abuse their children and claim they did it out of loyalty?

gothicmama · 15/07/2004 11:30

close family and friends should always be loyal to you - they should keep confidences and support you regardless.

Janstar · 15/07/2004 11:30

loyalty is when you side with people you love even sometimes when they are wrong.

It's going the extra mile when you don't feel like it - visiting friends who are long-term hospital patients etc, even when you don't get anything out of it yourself, but they do so you carry on.

Loyalty shows itself in little things and in big. Easier to see in big things, so here's a little thing: when in public, and however much there might be disagreement in private, keeping remarks supportive - so basically, not saying things which are put-downs.

binkie · 15/07/2004 11:32

blackduck put it more clearly!

boudicca · 15/07/2004 11:32

I agree with those sentiments Bd
Gm what if the 'other' party is family tho?

Loyalty is when you get lots of presents for your birthday

Janstar · 15/07/2004 11:41

Still time to buy and send a card and gift, large or small. Just email janstar for the address. fairyfly particularly likes giraffes, gin, white wine, hairdressers and members of boybands.

Janstar · 15/07/2004 11:47

sorry boudicca we're getting off the point here.

Janstar you know my soul

gothicmama · 15/07/2004 11:51

boudicca I would not trust them again and if I thought it worthwhile I would confront them and ask what is happenning- is it possible they have got hold of teh wrong end of the stick or are just not thinking before doing
fairyfly happy birthday

fairyfly · 15/07/2004 11:52

Thanks Boudicca you are the first, i will hold you dear forever

boudicca · 15/07/2004 11:58

thank you Ff,I'll hold you to that
Gm,not wrong end of stick,and as for thinking-
I think 'they 'just think it's me being jelous,which I'm sure I'm not,just can't understand how/why my feelings should be so unimportant

boudicca · 15/07/2004 12:06
