Re: The character that we aspire to be ..

You didn’t mention if it actually was the fault of both A and B, as opposed to just A. Things are never one person’s fault, so telling someone that all of it is your responsibility is not right. So, I would say 1.

However, you CAN tell A that you are wrong because you acted against a certain set of principles, in which case it becomes about them and they must take responsibility. I think when relevant, it is very important to do.
