Hmmmmm . . .. . Thanks to the ladies for their perspectives on this, good fodder for rumination . .... . I mostly do what I can to screen the less-suitable out of my life, trust & honesty-wise . .. .. . I think that, like LadyHibiscus, I know betrayal when I feel it, in my gut, throughout my body, that shock, almost physical, that floor-dropping-away sensation that something I thought I had some reason to trust has turned out to be rather more ephemeral . . . . . For me, there's also nuances of 'levels of relationship', so it depends on what kind of relationship is being betrayed as to how I'll react . ... . I'm seriously over-sensitive & feel 'lightly betrayed' on the acquaintance level quite a bit, but I shrug, file away the knowledge of where that particular integrity level exists, & move on; this continuum extends to the other end where the betrayals of love lurk . .... Love betrayed really pisses me off, it becomes the case that it's good I hew to some moral framework that keeps me away from high explosives & automatic assault rifles & flame-throwers & such like . .. .. Slave betraying mistress? Well, for me, BDSM is a creative outlet of love & sex, & exploring the depths of BDSM is, for me, exploring the depths of love . .. . . While I've not owned or been own, to me that would be a logical extrema of love, of devotion, of adoration . . ... & that level of betrayal would be hideous for all concerned. . . . . I'm very good at figuring out moral, ethical, & legal ways of making people miserable, & / or quite publicly enjoying the miseries of those who deserve their pain . .. . . . & I have a reasonably long memory . . ... . I'd like to be a better person, I work to be a better person, but I can also be a cold-hearted mean-ass vengeful bitch . . . . . . . Depends on how intentional the betrayal, circumstances & such, but, yeah . .. . .. . Revenge is a dish best served cold - Klingon saying . . . . . Hehehehe . . . ...
