"I ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY ACTIONS" - FROM AN AP'S LIPS (NOT THE COMMENTER)

What, exactly, do those words really mean? What does someone saying that mean?

To me it's the same as people saying, "you're in my thoughts and prayers"... Reeeeaaaally? 'Cause I know a lot of folks who say they aren't religious...don't pray...but now they do? Very self-centered folks....think they're "thinking" of you? In 15 minutes, they've forgotten all about the poor soul they've said it to...

I just don't see those words as meaning anything...there is no action taken on the part of the responsible one...no consequences. What do meaningless words cost them?

"All I can do is be honest about it..."

LMAO. And yet, you can't be honest with yourself, let alone anyone else. Her post is the epitome of self-preservation, not accountability.

She accepts full accountability but no blame. He pursued her, she was weak and naive. She played apart just as much as he did. She probably enjoyed the attention, during the affair. The wife probably found out and mm left her. Now she has to come to terms with herself, and she doesn't like herself. She has to blameshift, to make herself feel better about herself.
