Actually, you could say that Sam gave up - the scene in "The Choices of Master Samwise" where he turns around to take a last look at where Frodo's body is lying, and sees Orcs heading towards it. Then he thinks "I can't be their Ring-bearer. Not without Mr. Frodo" and runs back to him - it's only by great good luck that Sam wasn't captured on the spot, and if he had been of course he would have lost the Ring.

Just a thought.
