I'd have to agree with Robbie on this one.
If your part of the agreement is something that you can follow through on without putting yourself out too much, then it might be worth seeing it the end - just to get it all done with. Otherwise, if they aren't keeping their word, I would consider the agreement null and void, or at the very least let them know that you will be more than happy to uphold your side whenever they decide to uphold theirs.
Quote: Am I any less obliged to maintain my word if they do not keep theirs?
I think the question is... would you have made the agreement in the first place, if the other party hadn't agreed to their part?
If it's something that you would have done anyways - irregardless of the otherside's actions, then you should probably keep to your word. If you wouldn't have done it, then you should not be obligated to keep to it, if they have not.
Quote: What remedies are there for a situation like that, spiritually speaking?
Maybe some sort of cleansing ritual, or a ritual to dissolve agreements. Probably would depend on the exact circumstances and type of agreement.
Depending as well on exactly what one's spiritual practices are, maybe even simple prayer (or other type of communication with one's deities).

Brass Bell Doll Do two wrongs make a right? Am I any less obliged to maintain my word if they do not keep theirs? In my opinion, no. It doesn't matter who my oath is to, if I break it, I'm an oathbreaker. I tend to view those with flexible integrity, who's word is worth a variable account depending on who they give it to as untrustworthy. It is easy to be virtuous when others are being the same. Having honour, even when it may not seem practical or make you happy, that's the true test. Now, that having been said, there is a vast difference between saying i shall do a thing, and saying I shall do a thing under certain circumstance. A broken pact is broken, and needs no further adherence.

Quote: While I am sure that I will find my own answers to these things, it may be worth the discussion for others to muse on this as well. This, very important. You judge your own actions internally. The rest is between you and your gods, or is just a matter of reputation.
