No Dominant is an infallible, all knowing god or goddess. No submissive is the picture of perfection.
Why? Because we are all only human.
We all have faults and frailties. We all make mistakes.
It’s what we do AFTER making mistakes or seeing mistakes our partner’s make that is the difference between a good dynamic and/or relationship and a bad one.
We always have to make a judgement.
Is it an honest mistake or was it done on purpose and excused as a mistake?
Is it a repeat mistake or continuous mistake that hasn’t been learned from?
What we do about the mistake, depends on what we decide.
Initial mistakes must be dealt with patiently. After all, no one is perfect. Discussion is a must to decide how best to correct the mistake and soothe any hurt feelings due to the mistake.
The same mistake, done over and over, can be cause for alarm. A dominant or a submissive that can’t learn from mistakes and correct their mistakes may not be worth being in a dynamic with. Especially if the mistakes cause physical, mental or emotional harm.
Safety is of paramount concern in BDSM dynamics and mistakes often threaten safety.
No one should just try to “bull through” their mistake. They can’t be ignored. They should be admitted and apologized for. If a partner admits a mistake and apologizes, patience, understanding and acceptance should be given. At least until the mistake becomes repeated.
Admitting mistakes and discussing them are part of being honest, with open communication. They are part of being trustworthy and respectable. All four things included in the pillars of BDSM.
If a partner thinks they can do no wrong, there is a problem. They are not being honest with themselves, or with you.
Mistakes are nothing to be ashamed of. We all make them.
The difference is in how we handle them.

One has to decide what kind of human they want to be.
Some never think about it
Great post

If a partner thinks they can do no wrong, they most likely already have......"We are all only human."

Most of us make mistakes. It's fortunate that there are small and correctable.

.
I learned a very long time ago that it's also a great excuse for an error that's simply down to carelessness. 'Well, I'm only human.' can cover a multitude of sins and there's no real argument against it. xx
