For example, let's say your spouse brings a number of expensive moments to the marriage because he habitually refuses to take care of his car, or even learn what maintenance is required. You can pay for the new engine, but you can't make him be more responsible about it. At what point do you stop fixing the problem?

And you gave it the perfect name, maturity. Way too many people try to make grown up relationships work without being grown ups themselves. Grace, thanks for the comment!

I love what you have written here and the bathroom toilet paper analogy is so true. Accountability can be simple, yet it's often one of the most complex issues in relationships. So many people claim the 'victim' or blame someone else. It takes a person of inner strength and maturity to be accountable for their actions, especially when it relates to their partner. Great post!
