I really agree with this. A consenting and trusting partnership of any sort involves communication, boundaries, expectations, and trust. There was a behaviour your 'partner' was demonstrating which made you uncomfortable and broke a boundary for you. It doesn't matter what the behaviour was, what Read more… the boundary was, or that it occurred in a D/S dynamic. It matters that ther was a boundary that was communicated. It was broken or breached. You communicated that upset you. And the other partner continued regardless. That shows a partner who is not respecting agreed boundaries and not responding to being challenged about just that. And at that point knowing this is unlikely to change and walking away is for me the best step for all parties.... for what it's worth I wish I had done that when I first made the realisation.

I would say your stance is fair regardless of the dom sub dynamic. That is not ok behaviour in any respecting relationship of any kind (I.e. the repeatedly ignoring the other partner saying they don't accept a certain behaviour).

Quite right. Each has their own perspective, needs and motivations.

Without a shadow of doubt. It elicits an arousal associated with ***ness, the trust you have placed in/ accepted from another, and the sense of the unknown as you scramble to decipher what is coming from your dominant.
