"It takes two to tango." A conflict is not the fault of just one person or the other; they are often both to blame, because it takes two to tango.
Meaning:
A "tango" is a kind of dance. It is a dance that requires two people, and each person must do his/her part. Otherwise, there can be no "tango". So, the meaning of the metaphor is that
it takes two people, each doing his/her part, to make a relationship work out.
Relationship compared to a latin dance that requires perfect timing, synchronization and heart to execute. Partners doing their part to project a very expressive dance. A feat is somewhat hard to do on people to hold on to relationship. It takes genuine concern and caring , knowing and giving without compromising self respect. For couple to be singing the same tune, dancing flawlessly with the same beat takes an open arms and open mind. The capacity to understand , considering all factors . To speak with respect and to listen and weigh things down. It could take a lot of effort , but giving it a try always brings harmony to the bonding time spend with each other.

What if you got a partner who don't know how to dance Tango, should you blame yourself too, for him not knowing how to dance making your dance a not so smooth one (if not unsuccessful)?
While it is true that it takes two to Tango, a failed relationship can't always be blamed on the two parties involved. What if one of them picked the wrong partner?
Every person has no one to blame but himself.
