someone asked me the other day would i rather have a person in my life who is 100% honest or 100% loyal. i couldnt answer. its been on my mind snce i was asked. truthfully i could argue either way. i would want honesty because thats what i value most in another person. sure the truth hurts but i would rather be able to ask someone something and get a more harsh answer than a lie. but loyalty plays an important part in relationships also. i want someone who i can trust to be with me and only me. but which matters more?
i think with the security of both a realtionship could function, but would complete honesty hurt or help a relationship? im not sure anymore i thought honesty could never be a bad thing until i met this guy. our relatioship ended because of distance. but once we ended it we still talked as if we were dating. and i was told that i was the only one in his life. well obvisouly that wasnt true. worst part is, i addressed the matter several times and gave him chance after chance to come clean; he never took them. he waited until i found out for myself that he had been dating this girl for about four months. i was, needlessly to say, heartbroken. he said he never told me about her because he didnt think it was thaat serious when it started and he thought that if he did he would lose me. ironically i think i would have been happier if he'd told me from the begining so i would not have invested so much time and so many feelings.
would it have really been better if he was honest or loyal. if he was loyal to what he said we had i think our relationship would ben 1000000000 times better now. but if he had been honest about what happened, i probably wouldnt be talking to him right now. so is honesty really the best policy? should it be at another person's discrpency when they tell you the truth or should you be told when things happen? at this point i think loyalty might be more important. but what about the little things. when i want an honest opinion, what happens when they dont think you can handle their opinion and lie. what if they did something that wasnt disloyal but they didnt think you should know. is loyalty better than honesty then?

I think that you are somehow go around the topic in the main body of the text . try to be more concrete
I think if I had to choose I'd go with loyalty. Someone who is 100% loyal will always have my best interest at heart, even if that means not telling me the complete truth.

I was stuck as soon as i read honesty or loyalty.why because both things are so important when it comes to a relationship.But honesty is more important because even though the truth hurts its good to know.
Honesty and loyalty are so similar that you really cannot seperate the two. One cannot be honest without being loyal or loyal without being honest...i'm a little confused but I see where you were going.
umm... you can be honest without being loyal. some people have no problem with, for instance, cheating on someone and telling them. thats being honest about being disloyal so its fully possible. and being loyal without being honest is also possible. you can be completely loyal and then still tell lies about everything that you represent. for example, you can be loyal to someone and have them thinking that you are in school and have your own job. when you really spend the majority of your day standing on a corner with your friends doing nothing. so sorry to disagree but honesty and loyalty are two totally different entities.
