Why Accountability Is Essential for Healthy Relationships
Accountability builds trust and fosters resolution. Refusing it creates resentment.
Signs
- Blaming others for personal actions
- Downplaying harm caused
- Avoiding conversations about impact
Impact
Conflicts remain unresolved, trust erodes, and resentment grows.
How to Respond
- State clearly when you need acknowledgment of harm.
- Set limits on tolerating repeated avoidance.
