I honestly don't fault Sam for actually leaving for a while. He loved Frodo with all his heart, body, and soul. When you've been used to receiving someone's unconditional love and acceptance for much of your life, when you've practically died for someone, your heart gets torn to shreds when they betray you like that. For a while, you will actually listen to them and do what they tell you to do. Frodo was the entire world to Sam. Sam wasn't saving Middle-earth from Sauron, he was saving his Master Frodo. What would you have done if you had been in his place? What would you have done when someone more beloved to you than life itself betrayed you and told you to leave?
