Sometimes we just reach a place with certain people where we simply don't see things the same way. It isn't even so much about that person's wrong and I'm right so much as it is a matter of difference in philosophy, perspective, whatever. So asking them to take responsibility for something they don't see as wrong probably isn't going to happen.

Sometimes when I run into that, I realize I've simply outgrown that person. We've reached a parting of the ways because our views are too divergent. I might have even completely lost respect for that person and have little desire to continue our relationship. Maybe that's where you are.

Other times we basically agree to disagree; we aren't going to budge but we can respect the other person's right to own their own thinking. We may even continue to debate those topics because we don't really mind our differing perspectives. Maybe that's where you are.

Other times we go even further and agree to not even broach certain subjects because it is just too volatile; however, we realize we have other ways we still really like each other and want to continue to interact . . . just not about that subject. Maybe that's where you are.
