And then it just comes to me like an epiphany...

What is loyalty in a relationship?

Can you have loyalty without commitment, faithfulness?

Well let's take the working definition of loyalty....
Loyalty is the quality of being loyal to someone or something
(often loyalties) a strong feeling of support or allegiance
Now let up look up synonyms of loyalty shall we...
allegiance, faithfulness,obedience, adherence, homage, devotion; steadfastness, staunchness,trueheartedness, dependability, reliability, trustworthiness, duty,dedication, commitment; patriotism
Now if one is cheating or not committed to the relationship one is showing that they are not faithful, truthful, patriotic, reliable, or dedicated to the person, all of which are qualities that are embodied by a loyal person.
So I ask again, can one be Loyal and not committed?
Let me close with the old saying " Actions speak louder than words", so let you actions dictate your words!
