It is not a lie when a person says Trust is different from Loyalty.

Yesterday, after I had a very stressful and long day, I was on my WhatsApp chatting with a friend and she said she would like to ask me something, I gave her the go-ahead, and to my surprise, she asked me the difference between Trust and Loyalty. She has been going through a difficult stage in her life and she wants to know the difference between those two, now, my explanation my diver from yours but hear me out.

To a point, Trust is different from Loyalty, the fact remains, you might be loyal to a person but not trust the person, you wonder how? Being loyal is also the same as being

Illustration 1

A man and a woman that has been married for years with 3 kids, the woman can be loyal to her husband but might not trust him.

Loyalty means being faithful to a private person to whom faithfulness is due, a woman or man that has sworn their life to their partner might see some unwarrantable act from their partner that can cause distrust.

Trust and loyalty.

You see, you can be loyal to someone and not trust that person.

A wife is meant to be loyal to her husband, but might not trust him, the reason why would be loyal is because of the bond she already has with him and wouldn't want to get on their bad side, probably because of fear or what she would lose at the end if betrayal happens or the marriage end, and same goes vise versa to the male too, the husband might be loyal to the wife for some certain reason but my not trust the wife because of some things that have to happen in the past.

I would repeat this, A man never forgives cheating, a woman might still forgive her husband and still be loyal to him but would never trust him, but a man would never forgive a cheating woman, before a man and a woman get married and the man finds out about his girl cheating, the best thing the lady can do is to apologize and move on, if he guy promise to forgive and forget and she continues with the relationship, she's buying a long time life of Trust Issue.

Also, you can't trust a person completely and not be loyal to that person... It is not possible... If the person does not give you any reason to doubt them which can cause distrust, then the loyalty is at 100%

Remember... You can be loyal to a person and not trust the person, and if you trust someone 100%, you just have to be loyal to that person but most time, the heart of a man can never be understood.

You are loyal to your sister or brother because they are family, you would always have their back, but there are some things you know about them that would make you doubt them at a point, or not trust them especially when a specific issue happens, You would be like, I know my brother or sister, she can do it, he can do it, But that doesn't mean when the time to stand by them, they won't find you there, they would always see you by their side Because you're loyal to them. The family will always have your back even if you are a bad person, there is a popular saying,

Blood is thicker than water

So no matter what a person does, your family might not trust you, or when something happens, they would be the first to suspect you but that doesn't mean they aren't loyal to you.

In conclusion

Everyone has who they are loyal to, the trust might be there but loyalty will make it look like they trust each other but action speaks louder than voice, with the action each person portrays, you would know if there is a trust or not.
