In his article posted today on Yahoo! Shine, Jackie Bledsoe, Jr. discussed how loyalty in our relationships can lead to some of the most significant relationship problems doses of synthroid. When we find ourselves in a situation where our loyalty is split between two parties, it can be quite a challenge to find a desirable solution.
According to Bledsoe, examples of relationships in which split loyalties can occur are between:
1. your spouse and your parents
2. your work and your family
3. your kids and your ex-spouse
4. your kids and your new spouse
5. YOU and your spouse
I would also add “your friends and your spouse” to that list.
When we are dealing with split loyalties, we may experience several different — and conflicting — emotions. This can increase our anxiety and confusion during such situations. It seems that the “Top Three” things we need to consider when we are faced with split loyalties are:
1. the importance of the situation we are dealing with
2. the importance of the relationships involved
3. the importance of the principle underlying the situation vs. the importance of the relationships involved
There can be times in our life when we can’t seem to find a suitable resolution to a situation where we have split loyalties. In such times, it can be helpful to work with a licensed family counselor, who can help us look at the “big picture” of what is most important to us.
