Loyalty is something you give...

I'd like to attribute my jealous spurts to having the middle-child syndrome. So when I was asked to to list three things I'm looking for in my next relationship the one thing I had to note was a loyal person.

My only ex-bf was 100% loyal yet I still had my jealous tendencies. Though deep down in my heart I trusted him. Maybe it was because he was such a 'nice guy' I felt he paid more attention to people other than me? Ironically that was one of the reasons I was attracted to him in the first place - everyone said he is 'such a nice guy.'

My father and I occasionally have love and life chats over food. Loyalty is like trust he told me this weekend. It is affected by uncountable factors and is based on the individual. I understood and learned that loyalty, like trust is not something you get becuase you ask for it, but rather something you give.
