I recognized that I was relying too much on their affection and support and was not as engaged with supporting them. Recently, codependency was something my partner and I talked through. I have come to the realization that some of my behavior was unhealthy, and I chose to take responsibility for it.
#TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS HOW TO#
By being willing to accept that everyone makes mistakes, we learn how to take responsibility and grow. When you take responsibility for your behaviors, you demonstrate to your partner your willingness to be honest and vulnerable, which in turns encourages your partner to be open and authentic with you.īeing in the throes of my first relationship ever, I have learned a lot about myself. Taking responsibility creates trust and dependability. Doing so is an empowering reminder that you have control over the role you play in your relationship. Taking ownership and responsibility for your actions is an important part of healthy relationships.
Is Jack responsible for his now mustard-covered fries, or should Jill have taken responsibility for her behavior? Taking responsibility in your relationship is the acknowledgment and ownership of every action and word you say and do. This is an example of how often times people deflect ownership of their behaviors and play the blame game. Then Jill replies, “Well, you should’ve told me you don’t like mustard!” Imagine this scenario: “Why’d you put mustard all over my fries?” Jack asks. Written by Writer’s Corps member Katie Christy
