Ser leal significa muito mais do que simplesmente manter-se fiel
A lealdade deve ser uma das expectativas mais básicas numa relação.
It seems that for many, that’s not the case.
O problema é que nem toda a gente compreende o que é a lealdade. A palavra foi banalizada ao ponto de ter pouco ou nenhum significado.
It’s not only about sharing couple photos with legendas profundas or not seeing other people. In fact, it’s so much more than staying away from other people and not cheating.
Loyalty means standing your ground. Not letting anyone or anything change the things you believe in. It’s not letting other people’s perspectives interfere with your own.
It’s knowing what you believe in—the love you share with your significant other.
It’s choosing your lover every day, again and again.
Todas as relações têm aborrecimento every now and then but that’s not a reason to search for a faísca noutro lugar.

Loyalty means you’re set on building a life with your partner—through good times and bad times, through fun times and boring times.
As relações não são uma brincadeira. Se quer ter uma base sólida para a sua vida e o seu bem-estar, tem de se esforçar.
That means there will be days when your partner irritates you, when they hurt you, when you don’t understand them at all and even ask yourself: Será que isto vale mesmo a pena?
Toda a gente passa por esses períodos, mas poucas pessoas falam sobre isso em voz alta.
It’s normal to question ourself from time to time, to give in and let the doubt and feelings overwhelm us. What’s not normal is to always give up when things don’t go the way you expected them to go.
A lealdade tem a ver com honestidade, confiança e commitment—em todas as situações, não apenas nas boas. Quando se ama realmente alguém, essas coisas são fáceis.

Lealdade é baixar a guarda quando nos sentimos na defensiva, ser paciente quando se sente irritado, tratando sempre o seu parceiro com respeito e protegendo-o quando ele precisa da sua proteção.
Most of all, it’s seeing them for who they really are at all times and accepting them fully. Seeing through their temporary delusions or occasional pent-up emotional outbursts.
That’s what everyone deserves in their life and that’s why you should never allow anything less than that.
It’s possible to feel like your partner is disloyal without them cheating or flirting with someone. It’s possible to feel betrayed by someone’s decisions, acts and words.
If your partner’s behavior always leaves you feeling underwhelmed or insecure, it’s possible that they don’t understand the value of loyalty or they simply don’t care enough.
There’s no point in building and planning a life with someone who’s not willing to put in the same effort as you do because that’s eventually going to end or become tóxico.

True loyalty can’t be disrupted with sudden opportunity. If you’re loyal, you won’t let weakness control your life or the life of your loved one and that’s the most attractive thing about you.
Not having to think about someone’s honesty is one of the most freeing feelings in the world.
Once you feel the peace that comes from complete trust, that’s when you know you’re with the right person.
You deserve a committed, faithful and strong love. Don’t expect it from those who aren’t even willing to be fully honest with you.
Don’t cling to people who constantly disappoint you or cross your boundaries. Don’t mistake how someone acts when they need you for loyalty. As soon as they get what they want, they’re gone.
Esteja consciente do seu valor e do que traz para a mesa. Espere o que está a dar.
As relações são feitas de compromissos, mas a lealdade é um requisito.
It’s how you know the love is real.
