Don't blame "them" for their lack of awareness of what your needs are. Blame them for making you aware of not only what your needs are, but the needs of others around you as well.

The thought behind the quote
The Blame Game...we all have played it. And it goes all the way back to the Garden of Eden, when one of mankind’s first sins, was for Adam to Blame Eve for HIS sin, and then blame God for giving him Eve...who made him sin!!!
Why do we play the “blame game?”
We blame to defend our own sense of self-worth. It is a natural default that becomes “by default” our defense mechanism.

So think about it: God gives Adam the gift of life! God gives him the greatest gift IN LIFE...a woman to multiple his joys and reproduce THEIR greatness. She sins...He sins (misses the mark of living the IDEAL life)...THEY sin together. Their natural default was to “cover themselves” then “hide themselves” from the presence of God...then Adam...THE MAN...blames the woman and blames God for giving him the woman!!!
What if.... When God came walking in the Garden of Eden that day...which He did every day...Adam and Eve had come before Him and said, “We did it...no Eve, it was me! I should have stepped in front of you! I should have stopped the serpent in his tracks!” No Adam it was me! I should have...” And God would have wrapped His loving arms around them and “covered them” and restored them and a new level of IN-TO-ME-SEE would have happened between God, Adam and Eve...
But when God said, “Where are you?” They decided to cover...they decided to hide...Adam decided to blame! One of the results of Adam’s response to God and blaming the woman is still today, a woman’s #1 need from a man...SECURITY!
The Blame Game projects what “I” need to be aware of about me, on to someone else! Don’t negatively blame someone for being UNAWARE of your needs. But positively blame them for making you AWARE of not only your needs, but the needs of others around you!
Adam was totally UNAWARE of what Eve needed from HIM, and so he ended up blaming her for HIS sin...his missing the mark!
