they want to find someone to be "responsible" for what happened.

but never even in their dreams thinking of dominating,
thinking of enslaving the other person.

Give your time and efforts freely or not at all.
When you are tempted to say,
"Oh, if I have to, I'll skip my golf game
and watch my daughter play soccer," don't do it.

for any of the parties involved.
An honest, "No" is preferable to a coerced "Yes."

than any words of instruction, or threats,
or even words of encouragement.
