A few quotes about fidelity. What famous and famous people thought and said about this. Loyalty is just a concept. And also fate and life. Loyalty is something without which true love cannot exist.

In a broader sense, loyalty is personal devotion to a person or idea. This is constancy and following your promises and words, obligations and duty. Agree, there is so much meaning in one short word. And quotes from people who are not at all stupid cannot reflect the fullness of this very capacious word.

“Being faithful is a virtue; to know loyalty is an honor” (Ebner - Eschenbach).

Is it difficult to be faithful? It depends on who and in what respects. For example, a dog remains faithful to its owner, it is devoted to him, it appreciates him and waits for him. The real qualities of fidelity. But if we take the relationship between a man and a woman, then everything is more complicated.

They say that men are polygamous creatures, that they cheat on their significant other, wives, lovers, that they cheat with every girl they come across. But in my opinion, this is not the case. It all depends on each individual man, on each individual case, on upbringing and on conditions. Let's try to figure it out.

The man grew up in a decent family, he was not deprived of love, he is a responsible, handsome, decent person. Meets the woman he wants to marry. After the wedding, he realizes that this is not the woman with whom he could be happy: she is stingy, grumpy, a bad housewife, a bad mother, preoccupied with herself and her problems. What should he do? She can’t get a divorce, her upbringing doesn’t allow it. Treason, that's all that remains. He starts dating a woman who suits him, and they become lovers. And this can continue for several years, it will be like living in two houses. Advise his wife to come to her senses, change and give her husband what he lacks.

Let's take another example, when two people fall in love with each other, happy, passionate in bed, they can not part for hours. After some time, the passion weakened, the fire of love slowly died out, but they were already together. Misunderstanding of each other begins, nagging, mockery, scandals, quarrels. What will they do in such a situation? Change. And both, secretly, without remorse. This is vile and disgusting; betrayal of this kind should not be allowed in the family. It's better to get a divorce than to live in such hell. And having learned about each other’s betrayals, they can do anything in a rage.

Another situation is when one of the partners treats the other with disrespect: he nags him, compares him with others, showing the worthlessness of his existence, accusing him of all mortal sins, is jealous, humiliates him, tests his nerves. Such behavior will lead, sooner or later, to betrayal. Therefore, it is worth considering whether you want to have the status of being deceived.

By and large, all people are prone to cheating, both men and women. Men find it more difficult to tolerate the absence of sex, since they need “release” due to physiological needs. It’s easier for a woman; she can tolerate the absence of sex longer than a man. This is especially important when a woman is expecting a child; for medical reasons, she may be prohibited from having sex, but she will tolerate it so as not to harm the child. But if a man is looking forward to his child, taking care of his beloved woman, rejoicing with her that they will soon have a baby, then he will not be painfully worried about the lack of sex, but will simply wait.

When a person cheats, he gives a thousand reasons why he did it: “I cheated because my wife is making trouble and doesn’t want to be with me,” “I cheated because there are so many beautiful girls walking around me, and you gained a lot of weight after giving birth,” “ I cheated because I’m a man.”...That’s what’s on the tip of my tongue – “male.” But a rude word will not help here, unfortunately.

In order not to cheat on each other, you just need to love and respect each other, imagine what if they did the same to you. Loyalty must come from the heart and soul... Be faithful to each other!


These lines belong to the Austrian writer Maria Eschenbach. I cannot but agree with her words, because every prudent person who knows the value of himself, his thoughts and actions should feel loyalty to himself, to his family and friends, and, of course, to his Motherland. A person, in the depths of whose soul such a concept as fidelity has not arisen, is a person capable of change.

“Loyalty and betrayal”... Today, this is perhaps one of the most pressing problems that worries humanity. The authors of many works also touch on this topic in their stories, novels and poems. For example, the epic novel by L.N. Tolstoy's "War and Peace", novel by M.A. Bulgakov "The Master and Margarita", story by A.S. Pushkin's "The Captain's Daughter" and many others. This topic can be considered in several aspects.

To confirm my words, I would like to turn to the story of A.N. Ostrovsky "The Thunderstorm". The main character Katerina is going through a very complex emotional drama. Once in the Kabanovs' house, the girl hoped that she would live happily in love and harmony without lies and deception. But her dreams and hopes were not justified. The poor girl only endured insults and accusations directed at her. And from her husband she did not receive any support, love or care at all. Katerina can no longer live in such conditions, so she secretly runs away to her lover, Boris. The girl loved him with all her heart, but was too pure spiritually to commit such a terrible act as cheating on her husband. The heroine suffers for a long time, after which she decides to commit suicide. Did Katerina consciously commit the act? Can she be justified? It is very difficult to find the answer to these questions. Everyone builds their own relationships in the family and has the right to choose: to be faithful without receiving warmth in return, or to cheat, but to love and be loved. The author makes us, the readers, think that betrayal is, unfortunately, also present in the family, but makes us think that life should be lived in love and harmony, and not in lies. Works by I.A. Bunin's stories about love most often have a tragic end. The story "Dark Alleys" was no exception. The main character Nadezhda, in the depths of her soul, was able to remain faithful to her lover Nikolai, despite the fact that he rejected her feelings, calling this relationship a passing hobby. All this began with Nicholas's prejudiced attitude towards the lower class. And who would have thought that after so much time, a serf peasant woman would become the owner of an inn? Continuing to love, she could not forgive him for his betrayal. As a result, Nikolai understands that it was Nadezhda who gave him the best moments of his life, bitterly realizing that happiness was so close, but passed him by. The heroes part again for the second time - forever. And Nadezhda’s words sound scary that there is no forgiveness in her heart for the misfortune that she has endured for so many years.

Thus, loyalty is the most precious thing that can be given to a person. That is why being faithful is a virtue. After all, only she is the basis of true love and friendship.
