Loyalty test

My loyalty have never been literally tested per say, but quite a handful of circumstances have occurred in the past which proved my probity to a friend or partner. Sometimes, one's loyalty threshold could be exceeded to the extent that it could become a test of one's patience. Especially when the other person stops or never appreciate your loyalty and commitment, to the extent that you begin to feel inanimate or removed from their life.

Thank you 🙏

Loyalty is expected to go both ways and the attachment should always be mutual throughout the period of time that the two parties are together or even till death, if possible. But in some cases, loyalty might seem lopsided as just one of the two individuals appears to put more work in a friendship. While the other remains indifferent, and in some instances, would inadvertently or even deliberately sabotage the efforts of his/her partner.

Ofcourse people do change over time and you might have observed that a friend or partner is not as interested in you as they were before. Moreover, there are folks who have many faces or simply put, they are unpredictable. Someone might appear faithful and reliable in their actions and gestures. He or she would seem to have passed all your "loyalty and fidelity test", but they are just being smart as they must have already anticipated your next move.

But Situations would definitely arises from time to time which may reveal to you how that person feels about you and thier true intention. All these would go along way in making you very sure of the kind of person you have as a friend or partner.

One might want to purposely test the loyalty of a friend or partner probably because of a past bitter experience like a devastating heartbreak. It could even be in a business where a master could sacrifice his time and resources to teach a his mentee all about the processes of a trade or business . But at the end, his disciple, after learning very fast might become too sharp to the extent he dissappoints and betrays his benefactor. Such an experience might lead to a sponsor having trust issues and he also develops the reluctance of rendering assistance, as "Once bitten, twice shy".

Sometimes, insignificant issues might arise in a relationship or friendship and an insecure partner might linger on them longer than necessary. Such trifling matters may be used, albeit subconsciously by the anxious one to mirror every actions of his partner. This might ofcourse lead one into unnecessarily jumping into conclusions and having hurried ideas about the other person. And the whole cycle keeps repeating it self in future discords till the relationship starts deteriorating.

So, instead of developing and maintaining of a healthy relationship, one might inadvertently ruin it as a result of allowing their minds dwelling on negativity and sentiments due to a previous experience with another person that had caused them to be impatient.

I have also heard stories where one of a couple tested the other person's faithfulness even when heir she had not done anything before that had made them suspect cheating. A man or woman might go as far as setting dangerous baits for a partner just to know their level of commitment and this is very wrong. We are all humans and no one is infallible to temptations. We all have an Achilles heel that shouldn't be constantly brought to our reminder. Because as soon as this instinct is awakened by such unnecessary temptations all in the quest for testing faithfulness, you might end up bringing a beautiful relationship to an abrupt end or even losing a friend you never gave an opportunity to prove themselves. .
