I agree. And, weirdly, so many people don't see that. I have sworn to myself never to complain about husband to our kids, for instance. It's important, also an example.

Thanks Alison, glad you understand my meaning. I think this comes off as a little jaded but I didn't intend for it to be. To me, loyalty is the most important part of loving someone, even friends.

Not blind loyalty, not a partner in chaos, but trusting that even when you have a disagreement the other person wants the best for you too. All relationships should have a healthy dose of you and me against the world.
