*wants a Hello Kitty sub notebook too*

Lying in my experience really doesn't make much sense in such a situation. First of all, it makes yourself feel horrible because you know it's just plain wrong, even more so in a situation where trust, honesty and communication are so vital. Moreso, doms seem to have built-in lie detectors that tell them if you REALLY did something or if you just PRETENDED to do it. It's one of their mysteries, I guess. Or maybe it's just that I'm an awful liar and actually never lie...whatever.

I think telling him was the right choice, fallenstar. He won't be disappointed in you forever, and the great thing with punishment is that you pay for what you did wrong, and that's it then. No year-long grudges. It's one reason why I believe dom/sub relationships in any constellation are easier than vanilla relationships, but that's an altogether different topic. We all slip sometimes. But we all also learn a thing or two from our slips, so don't get too discouraged or disappointed
