rkman Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Hmmm....suppose by some unknown power you were given the opportunity to live life twice. The first time you lived it, your spouse cheats on you, perhaps because of some faults on your part as well. The second time, would you rather live it the same way, or fix your wrong doings and stay with your spouse, knowing full well that they would have cheated on you otherwise? I guess the moral is; Can we hold ourselves responsible to a certain extent for the actions of others, or is a commitment meant to be kept no matter what. I am personally a sincere believer in for better or worse, and hence by no way feel that there is an excuse in the world for sucha betrayal, yet, I am at times finding myself in conflict whether I should accept responsbility to a small extent for teh ations of others.
amaysngrace Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Well, RK Man, this is a completely hypothetical situation and I could not speculate on a do-over life because it just ain't gonna happen. But No, to answer your question. I am no more responsible for someone else's behavior than they are responsible for mine. Free will, baby.
Art_Critic Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Remember RK that you are responsible for what you do and say and they are responsible for how they react to it.. and vise versa Don't accept responsibity that doesn't belong to you
Diver012 Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Agreed. I think once a commitment has been made, the proper thing to do is honor it. No matter what. If someone decides to end that commitment, and does it through an act of betrayal such as cheeting, then it is a clear window into a part of that persons character you may not have known existed. Not your Fault! At all!
