Nobody is responsible for someone elses behavior or choices. Dr. Laura is full of it.
Really? So if someone screams in your face and pokes their finger in your chest just to humiliate you in front of other people, they bear no responsibility for you responding with hostility?
People promote bad behavior in other people all the time. It doesn't excuse the guilt, but it does share it.
>>Nobody is responsible for someone elses behavior or choices.<<
I disagree on principle. If I shoot a man that is trying to rob me, he IS responsible for my choice and behavior.
But ultimately, this is not about responsibility in so direct an example. Fact is, how you treat others is going to have an impact on how they treat you.
I do know of one man who was able to be “perfectly” imune to this though. His name was Jesus the Christ.
For the rest of us mortals, husbands and wives alike, many of our actions are based on how our spouses treat us. And to wives that means, if you withhold sex, do not be surprised if your husband gets it elsewhere. Same goes for husbands.
Marriages involve a lot of entwinement of mental, spiritual, and physical dynamics. Marriages aren’t about 2 Islands that coexist and have occasional conversations together.
Couple are responsible for one another as well as each person for themselves; they fool themselves if each thinks each can go back to being single individuals again when ever each may or may not want a little “forbidden water” on the side.
As we don’t know the intimate details of the Spitzer’s marriage we’d better hold back of the “judgments” of responsibility of blame. She may very well have had arrangements with the “pool guy” for all we know! You don’t think she might have had suspicions of what he was doing off and on over the past 10 years?
I will say that Spitzer violated federal tax laws as well as the Mann act(forbidding the trafficking of prostitutes over state lines) and that the evidence is damning...may he rot in prison!
