How to be faithful to your boyfriend or girlfriend

How to be faithful to your boyfriend or girlfriend

 

Loyalty is well understood from a conceptual point of view by many people, but with nuances. Thus, each of us has our own way of interpreting the facts from beginning to end. Nevertheless, there are definitions accepted by almost everyone, habits and practices to take into account when it comes to analyzing how loyalty works in a relationship.

Start with the basics

1

Define loyalty yourself. The dictionary defines loyalty as external obligations that are both personal and civic. However, external obligations can be similar to forced behavior. The real importance of loyalty in a relationship is internal: your own sense of morality vis-à-vis these personal obligations  [1] .

Know that love, devotion, dedication and commitment are personal choices. These cannot come from an external source, but rather from within. Therefore, you must understand your own idea of ​​loyalty and adapt to the circumstances as long as they do not undermine your sense of morale.

Changing your notion of loyalty in order to make someone else happy can lead to unhappiness later. Be sincere and realistic with yourself and know what you have the possibility to change or not in your beliefs.

2

Treat your partner as you want to be treated. Once you understand the meaning of loyalty, you will also know how you should be treated. This in turn lets you know how you can treat your partner. For example, if you have to rely on his support, you are required to show him that you support him financially and emotionally, in all circumstances.

3

Be realistic. There are very few absolutes in life, but one you can lean on is this: no one is perfect. Your partner has strengths and weaknesses, admirable qualities as well as flaws. Don't expect him to be anything other than a human being that you are too.

Accept your partner as he is, including his bad sides. Our imperfections define us as do our strengths. Proving to the other that you accept them without any conditions greatly stimulates feelings of mutual loyalty between you.

4

Stay engaged. You love your partner for a reason. Make an effort to remind yourself of this regularly whenever you realize that your partner is important to you. This will make it easier for you to engage and stay loyal to him. Scheduling regular meetings, spending time talking about your day, and showing admiration for each other are good ways to solidify your relationship.

5

Be faithful. There is general agreement that loyalty does not involve cheating on your partner. This is a very hurtful act that causes separation in most cases. It is very beneficial to talk with your partner about what is going or not in your relationship and also about the virtues of fidelity as well as the harms of infidelity. Be sure to talk about the future of your relationship and the steps you need to take to establish safety and respect between you.

Show that we care about each other

1

Communicate. It's all about communication and nothing else can demonstrate loyalty and solidify it except open communication. Since human beings are social animals, they should not only like to share, but they have a duty to do so. And if you do that, it will bring you closer to your partner  [2] .

Open and regular communication allows you to easily limit misunderstandings. By knowing the way your partner thinks and the topics that interest him, you will have a better chance of avoiding disagreements.

Sharing the details leads you to intimacy. It even leads to true intimacy later on. It's like aging fine wine: the longer you do it, the more wonderful and productive your relationship will be and the stronger your loyalty will be.

2

Be honest. Keep your promises and your words. The fastest way to lose your loyalty or show the other you're not loyal is when you constantly let your partner down by telling lies or breaking promises. One of the oldest axioms to always remember is this: only make promises that you are certain to honor  [3] .

Take your partner's feelings to heart. For example, if your partner looks horrible in an outfit, maybe find a better way to tell them. I think the other costume is far prettier and sexier than this one or It's pretty, but I think the dress makes you look more gorgeous .

3

Know what your partner likes and dislikes. This way, building loyalty is no longer work, but becomes fun. Those to whom we give ourselves the most and with whom we have the best affinities are those who take their time to get to know us better. You could even make a game out of it.

Surprise your partner with their favorite dish during dinner.

If she likes the theater, take her to see a play.

If your partner hates action, disaster and special effects films, avoid those made by Michael Bay.

4

Be physically and emotionally present. It is important that you support your partner. Your partner may just need you to listen or give them a hug. Understanding their needs and meeting them demonstrates and guarantees tremendous loyalty.

If you find that something is bothering your partner, don't wait for her to necessarily come and tell you about it first. Find out what is wrong. She will be happy to see you sensitive to her cause.

If your partner refuses to talk about it, don't force it. Give him some time and wait until he feels ready and willing to talk to you about it.

5

Understand the difference between love and passion. We may love our siblings, family members, and cousins, but the love of a partner is starkly different, and it's the passion that makes the difference. When your partner realizes that your passion for her is clear, loyalty becomes a stronger feeling and the most important aspect of your relationship.

There are many ways to cultivate and maintain the passion between you. Ranging from intimate evenings to sharing hobbies, you'll have more fun doing it  [4] .

Make your partner your priority

1

Keep secrets. Nothing kills loyalty faster than someone leaking secrets. If you find it difficult to confide confidential matters to your partner, your desire to remain faithful to your words, your commitments or your obligations will wither and die. If she asks you to keep it a secret, do it.

If the secrecy is really damaging to someone you love, find a way to handle the information so it doesn't compromise your integrity.

2

Be on your partner's side. As Don and Michael Corleone said in The Godfather I & II , never take sides against the family in public. Support your partner. Don't talk about your differences in public. This is an incredible source of loyalty since your partner knows that you support her and that you will never embarrass her in public.

Arguments between your partner and family members can be very tricky. Remember this indisputable fact: you live with your partner, not your family. Your relationship with her might be the only one you will have for the rest of your life. So be on his side  [5] .

Being on your partner's side doesn't mean you have to cut all ties with your family. Support your partner and if you don't get along, say so when you're together and explain why. This will help you build loyalty later.

After easing the tension with your partner, go make peace with your family. Make them understand that what is controversial between you is not a problem or a situation in which you have trouble making a decision. You and your partner will continue to talk about it and if possible review the whole situation later and find a mutually acceptable solution.

3

Prioritize your partner's needs over everyone else. If she's sick and you need to watch a match, cancel this program and take care of her. If she needs you at a company picnic, but you can't stomach her boss, agree to go along with it and go to the scene in a good mood. Go there because your partner needs you.

4

Accept your partner's weaknesses. Again, we all have our weaknesses, so instead of scolding and humiliating her, accept reality and revisit the situation later. Take the time to consider the whole situation and then you can help it to correct itself  [6] .

Patterns of behavior are more explicit than isolated cases. When both of you have taken a step back, seeing the pattern of behavior in general will be easier and will be an effective learning tool for you. Just remember that it's not about blaming the other person, but about helping them.

Facing adversity

1

Show maturity in disagreements. It is sometimes very rare to get along well. You will argue and you may even fight. The secret would be to know when to get away with it, calm down and get back to business when the atmosphere is calm  [7] .

It's good to get along and argue sometimes. You won't always understand each other all the way, but remember that it's important to respect the other person's decision and position in order to share the same belief as them.

2

Walk away from temptation. We are all capable of being tempted. If you are, go to the bathroom or find any other quiet place where you will be alone. Take a deep breath and really think about what to do  [8] .

Accept reality. You will always find other people attractive. Being in a relationship doesn't have to make the rest of the world look ugly, stupid or insignificant. Take notice of this and know that you have consciously chosen to stay with your partner. Understanding this will easily save you from temptations.

3

Control your impulses. Emotions are fleeting and short-lived. They are also impulsive. However, in the absence of ulterior motives, they are capable of giving us great pleasure in a short time and possibly causing us intense pain in the long run. Self-control will always allow you to watch over your priorities.

Here is another circumstance in which you must get out of the house before the worst happens.

4

Take responsibility. Whether it was a mistake you made or you said something insensitive, own it. If your partner questions you, answer it. Don't make excuses, but give reasons or explanations. Avoid complicating the situation, be honest and real. You will work on the emotions later if they are not yet strong.

Don't judge your partner. She makes mistakes just like you do. Listen respectfully and attentively to the expression of his feelings. Remember that you are in a two-way situation. Showing empathy whenever she is responsible is always the best solution.
