I'm maybe a bit too loyal, Rose. Or so the pensioner says when I get hurt. |

Rose. I was so very badly let down by a close family member, I could not disclose exactly what he did and the true extent of this will never be known as he passed away some years ago and took all of his deceptions to his grave. I was completely devastated when I found out and spoke with my son and my solicitor, but there was really nothing I could do without raking up an awful lot of mud. I thought I knew this man and trusted him without question. I am sure I am not alone when I say we can never truly know a person, as everyone measures loyalty by a different yardstick. This experience has taught me a valuable lesson and made me very wary of expecting 100% loyalty. |

If I see there has been an injustice, I'll speak up about it, I had a job once, where a colleague felt that they had been undermined, and passed over for a promotion, when I looked at what happened I spoke up about it, nothing was done, so I handed in my notice, much to everyone's surprise, |

I am fiercely loyal and I think that's reciprocated. Only been let down seriously once by a friend and that was 40 years ago. Once by a business associate which was devastating. |

Lynda, Funny that you should use the expression "cut off my nose to spite my face" :-D it was in my mind last night. I admire you for sticking by your principles. |

I think there's a lot of loyalty about still....quite easy to say I'm loyal but I think I am to a fault. I don't always find other people are but mostly I do |

I am a loyal friend and have ben told that many times, but family loyalty? that's a different matter I know and one very close relative has let me down very badly and other family take his side causing a massive split and they completely disregard anything I have said. |

I don't know if this is part of loyalty,maybe more of support. OH and I went to a job where there was a big problem with the landlord. He was very difficult and obstructive and I was frced to leave. |

I am loyal to my family, but wouldn't be bothered to be disloyal to anyone else - if that makes sense :-S |
