I expect for people that are my friends, and that includes my husband, to be honest with me. Lack of honesty creates a "psychic chasm" between the 2 parties in the friendship. Loyalty is a bit tougher; what signifies loyalty?? For example, if I'm doing something that is unrighteous/wrong, I would want my friend to critique me honestly & tell me that what I'm doing is not right, that kind of feedback. I also have other friends who have a different take on politics that I do; I'm a Democratic liberal; they're conservative Republicans or Fundamentalist Baptists. We have some rather interesting conversations, believe me. "Loyalty" is hard to define in these cases!!
