Do you keep promises you make to people you care about?

promises to me are important. no matter if they are close or not I always keep promises. I would not want someone to break my promise so I would never break another persons promise

i try my best to keep my promises to people... I'll try to be there for the person as best I could even if they were pushing me away... maybe they just need time/space to collect all their thoughts

I only make promises I know I can keep(:

yes I do try my hardest to make sure I keep a promise I've made even if the person has become cruel. the fact of that reasoning is that the person who has become cruel, unkind, and pushed you away, is probably the person who needs you the most.

keeping and continuing to keep a promise is a very grand trait it shows dedication honesty compasion and shows the person you really care about them.

I am there for people no matter what. If I tell him I am going to be there, than he can expect that from me. I never deny my promises because I am an honest person. I had a friend who went through some pretty rough times and during those times, I told him that I'll help him out no matter what. I was pretty much there for him every time he needed me, whether it was about money or any other need. Lots of his other friends - "friends" started to give up on him because he started to give up. He basically started to push people away. He wasn't any different with me, he started to neglect and hate. That's when I told myself - I could never give-up on this guy. So, I sticked around and I kept my promise. I gave him help when he needed it. I just wanted to reassure him that not everyone was walking away. He's doing great now, but to think if I would have given up on him - I am not so sure if he would have been around.

I definitely am there for people and I try to help out as much as I possibly can.

I keep the ones I know I'm going to make. My guy and I told each other to always be honest and loyal. For these past 10 months, I have been loyal, and I know real well he is too, and we always tell each other our honest opinions, even if they can hurt our feelings, we make sure that there are no secrets between us. So far, it has straightened our relationship more than my past relationships.

Sometimes being honest is cruel, and hurts alot, but we usually talk out our problems and try and figure out what makes us hurt and confused. Its part of being in a relationship.

Yes, unless it's too far fetched.
Example: I made a promise to one of my ex'es that I loved him and I would marry him. That was, until my family found out about his background, and he made me either choose to leave my school, my job, my family for him (where I'd have to find a new job, marry him whenever he felt it was time to hand a ring, and trust him) or stay with my family and lose him. I've been promising this since I was 18 (I was 21 when we "broke up"). He knows me since I was 14. This was a promise I could not keep.
I have though kept promises even to people I don't like, much more to people I care. Likewise, I find it very skeptical when guys say they miss me and love me, and yet don't keep their word on the most simple things, continuously (e.g.: I'll see you this Saturday, and not show up or give a heads-up).
This is really something individual. People who break promises may not always mean to do so, but when they care they try all they can to make it right. Just use your common sense. Is the promise fitting with the current situation? For one, you wouldn't deny a fellow human being for some food and shelter because he/she hurt you in the past. Really depends on what this promise is. And this person "hurting inside and confused." I may not be in the same situation at all, but for someone who previously was hurting inside and very confused and exploded at one of my ex'es, best thing you do to that person if you want to break away, is to gently say why you can't keep the promise, and let the person grow on their own. It may do them some good. You can always try to talk to them in the future and see how things are.

Ye I do keep promises I make cause I wouldn't like sum one to make me a promise they don't keep.

of course yo my friends that I told you about that I am close wit if I promised them something I would do anything for her to keep even if it meant givin my life to save hers like if she axed me to promise to always help and protect her I could do it in a heart beat

I haven't really promised anything. If my girl asks me to promise to her that I will always be there for them, then I would promise of course. I feel as if it's an automatic kind of thing. I want to be there for my girl, and I should. All you can do is your best. No excuses. And it does becomes more difficult to keep this kind of promise when your girlfriend becomes unkind or something of that nature. This is something that I have experienced first hand. If you truly lover a girl, you would be patient, wait for her to calm down, and return to her regular mood, and stay by her side. Just like it says in 1 Corinthians chapter 13 (i forgot what verse it is, sorry), "Love is patient"

Not sure why you would break a promise you made to the people you care about, since you care about them there's no reason to hurt them.

I do everything I can, if I tell her I'm going to be there, I'm going to be there no matter what, what's the point of lying, unless your trying to hide something, and bs is not good in relationships at all. Eventually they will find out.
