What the fuck

As many will say, the most important thing in interpersonal relationships is the semblance of loyalty. I am only quoting askmen.com on statistics, but because men are as such (territorial and jealous), apparently it is necessary to know that your partner is loyal to you.

Loyalty, and the perception of loyalty may be interpreted by the amount of trust one party has of the other. trust that can be built up over time, trust that can be nurtured from simple, little things like letting the other party know that they matter, staying contactable, honesty, et cetera.

However, what happens when these things are not there? When the gun is jumped and the dice thrown without the slightest bit of consideration for the repercussions? I'll tell you. What happens is that the resulting repercussions will slowly but surely rock the foundations of the relationship. And depending on the strength of the building, it may cause the temple to fall. This is, I feel, true for not only couples, but for many interpersonal relationships.
