The quality I value most is actually a hybrid of two qualities. I feel like they are dependent on each other, at least in my eyes. The qualities that I value most is:
HONESTY/LOYALTY
There was a defining moment in my life that solidified honesty and loyalty as the qualities that I absolutely could not compromise on. My first marriage ended because my ex-husband had an affair. He was on temporary recruiter duty for the Army. I was living in Tacoma, Washington and he was temporarily stationed in Oregon. He really didn’t do much to hide it. The text messages were on his phone. There were e-mails. He stopped coming home on the weekends going as far as missing all of his son’s soccer games. I took my 50% of the checking account and filed for divorce the very next day.
Once my trust is broken, there is no going back. I will never trust you again. There are no second-chances for liars in my life. Some might think that is harsh, but my mental well-being far outweighs giving someone a second chance. I have a motto? I’m not sure that is the right term. I live by the concept that allowing someone to effect your emotions is giving them weight in your life. I don’t waste my energy on people that lie. Period. Lie to me and you’re dead to me. Don’t let people control you through your emotions. Simple.
