Your relationship is important enough to her that she wants to grow with it and see it through. Loyalty isn’t just about choosing your partner and honoring the commitment you share versus choosing to be with other people. More often than not, it’s tested and measured against the commitment one person has with their own self. When things get difficult: do you take the easy way out and give yourself a reprieve, or do you soldier on with your partner? Loyalty is more than just about faithfulness and turning away from infidelity. If you have a girlfriend who pushes through difficult conversations and takes time off her day to work on issues with you and listen to you, you know you have a keeper.
