There are many variables in any relationship. Each handles the variables in his/her own way. Sometimes you agree and sometimes you don’t. Sometimes the resolution is simple and sometimes each side can’t accept the other’s resolution. When that happens, the relationship is broken. Surrender only kicks the can down the road, “if you’d only let me do what I wanted…”. Sometimes too, the one who leaves first is the one who recognizes the relationship is untenable. As GG says above, a relationship consists of two people. Fault cannot be assigned to only one person. In the case of a broken relationship, fault must be divided, it cannot be one person’s fault. You can’t stand up and say “It’s my fault”. That’s unfair to both of you.
