From a girlfriend who was my intellectually superior (which I had a hard time dealing with)

You are responsible for your actions - no one else. "But I did it because...". No. You chose to do it. You are responsible.

Other people are responsible for their actions. Not you.

She was/is right.

You are responsible for your choices all day every day for your entire life. I agree. It is a self-destructive behavior to think otherwise, in my opinion. How can a person grow if they don't take responsibility for their choices?

Did she end the relationship?
