In the BDSM Lifestyle, as with any other lifestyle, there are different ways and reason to betray another and to feel betrayed by another.
Some are obvious. Like cheating on your partner, ignoring consented to limits, speaking out in public about things that should be kept private, lying to your partner, for some examples.
Some betrayals are not so obvious. Such as when someone speaks poorly about you behind you back, uses coercion and manipulation to that you don’t realize is happening.
There are times when the betrayer apologizes genuinely and the betrayed accepts the apology and the partners try to move on from it. But the truth is, trust has been broken by the betrayal. And that trust almost never can be totally mended to its original level. There always seems to be that nagging doubt in the back of the mind of the betrayed.
Unfortunately, some “betrayals” are imaginary. A person can feel betrayed by something because of their own self-doubts, jealousies and overactive imaginations. Sometimes these issues can be fixed with professional help, but there are others that are just too insecure and feel betrayed all the time. Sometimes, with the proper vetting time, these insecurities can be shown and the prospective partner can either decide that this red flag isn’t enough to deter them and decide to try and prove the insecurities wrong, or they can decide with due diligence on the issue, to walk away.
Whether the betrayal is real or imaginary, purposeful or accidental, the hurt is real to the betrayed. The feeling of broken trust, in a Lifestyle that depends on trust for so much, can be devastating.
Purposeful betrayal is a breach of every one of the four pillars. In my opinion and experience, purposeful betrayal is the cruelest of all. Apologies may put off the inevitable, but more often than not, trust and respect will never be fully restored.
Think twice if you are tempted to betray your partner. Weigh what you will lose against what you will gain. Is it worth it to lose what you have? Can you live with the reputation of a betrayer? Can you live with the hurt you will bestow on your partner?

Most women can live just fine with the hurt they dish out. That's why they call them bitches.

I've had a brunette wake up raising holy hell because she dreamed I had run off to Florida with a hot blonde ( you know who you are hot Blonde ).

In my opinion if you have relationship problems and you're not married. Fuck counseling. Find another person.

This life is all you have and it's better to spend it with someone that's going to make you smile in the morning than having to lockup the knife drawer at night.

If you're on the fence as to what to do. Watch the movie psycho. You'll know what to do after that.
