The Cellar - View Single Post - Where is the line between loyalty to one's spouse and loyalty to one's self?

All relationships are a compromise...you give some and you take some. It is a balance. Sometimes you have to do more giving than taking, but it usually shakes out in the end somewhere.

I find the choice of the word "loyalty" to be interesting. I expect loyalty from my husband. I am true to myself. However, I have certainly put aside my own wants (and sometimes needs) in favor of what was in the best interest of the marriage.

Agreeing with others here, context is needed.
