John IrvingIt is your responsibility to find fault with me, it is mine to hear you out. But don't expect me to change.
About This Quote
If you are not happy with the way you are being treated, this is a common phrase. However, there is also a different meaning to this saying. If you are not happy with the way you are being treated, it is your responsibility to find fault with the person who is doing it. This person should hear you out and change their behavior if they want you to be happy again. However, if this person does not care about changing their behavior, then that person’s responsibility ends there.
