The wife was quick to blame and sure that her husband started the fight: she took no responsibility.
Another reason for the decision: she could not learn from a decision that would absolve her from responsibility.
Do I agree: I think so – we are at cause in our own lives and we attract certain people. She attracted this “abuser” and stayed with him to create the abusive situation. To take responsibility would be to create a new relationship with him, even if it involved leaving him.
Thanks kim 286,
A couple considerations about your post:
Re: “I think so —” Think? I’m not suggesting you change think to know just for me; it would however, add credibility to your almost realized realization. Quite often I find that someone who uses the word think when they talk about responsibility have an incident for which they have not yet accepted responsibility.
Re: “we are at cause . . . ” I would have gotten it had you written, “I am at cause . . .”
Again, much thanks for sharing.
