The fellow is the worst kind of human being possible. But you will not accuse him of disloyalty, infidelity, or cheating, because he still reserved his body for you. This simply tells that the relationship is founded on the body. The woman has been trained to consider herself the body, and so has the man. Why don't we broaden our definition of loyalty? Please ask, “You couldn’t be loyal to any kind of virtue. How will you ever be loyal to me?”

Questioner: Sir, Is expecting loyalty in a relationship, in any kind of relationship, is that dependency?
Acharya Prashant: What do you mean by loyalty?
Questioner: You just said that women, you know, get jealous when their man is looking at somebody else or when they are going to someone else. So is expecting loyalty dependence? Because that is basic, a person should not be doing that when they are in a relationship.
Acharya Prashant: You see, what do you mean by loyalty? That’s my question first of all. Most relationships are founded on physicality, right? When it’s a man-to-woman thing, let’s accept the bare fact, it’s a physical thing. Later on, you may say this is love and emotions and feelings and whatever, but it’s a hormonal thing first of all. You don’t fall in love when you are 6 years old, do you? But when you are 16, you say, “I have fallen in love.” It’s a hormonal thing. So it is about the body. “I’ll have your body. I’ll control your body.” And that’s how you define loyalty.
