Inconstancy is when someone does not stay true in love or friendship. Their heart changes. They may leave you for another person, or they stop being the friend they promised to be. It is an old-fashioned, noun; you meet it in poems, plays, and older stories about love. Today people more often say unfaithfulness, or they were not loyal. Though actually, the same spelling can also mean a habit of changing — changing your mind, not staying steady — but the meaning here is the one about love and friendship: you cannot count on their loyalty.
