Many people, and a few penguins, will do anything imaginable to avoid confrontation when faced with blame or shame as a predictable response. We'd rather stick our heads in the sand, suck it up or redirect than deal with what's really going on and risk a potential face to face conflict. We will even sacrifice the relationship entirely as opposed to experiencing direct confrontation. So, what's a productive response when we feel let down by someone or feel their actions were inappropriate? We can choose to hold them and ourselves accountable. Holding people accountable does not translate into the green light for blaming and shaming when your expectations have not been met. It does not mean railing against them when you feel frustrated or disappointed. Accountability means you have clearly set mutual understandings of what's expected, and you follow through with maintaining those boundaries as you respond to a failure to hold up one's end of the bargain. You find out why someone failed to perform as expected, and then you maintain your original objective for the desired outcome. You renegotiate or move on to a new plan for getting what you want.

I'm telling you the spouse who stays pays a terrible price. If you feel peaceful with your decision and you feel it is right that should be helpful. This can be done. We still hadn't had the "are we official. Never ask vague questions and give her definite options instead. That said, I would be fully aware that Mormonism is going to compel even the best of them to do some truly horrendous stuff at times. Just trying to make it through the 3 week stretch of hour days of him at work Ok so I'm engaged to a doctor to be and let me tell y'all something, you might judge me or whatever but when things get hard I go out with my single friends and bring home all the numbers I received to show him, - he then has to choose between me or his case. Part of the reason I created it is because my friends find it hard to understand. Our relationship also hasn't really progressed-- we're still only spending the same amount of time together that we were a few months ago. Just trying to make it through the day.
