It's not a mortal sin to admit when you made a mistake, we all do. If you fear being ridiculed or judged or scolded that's understandable. Although it's important to pay attention to where it comes from. If the person who calls you out on your faux pas loves you, then take your lickings, apologize, and move on. If your partner tells you they care about you and love you, then a little scolding isn't going to send the relationship back to zero. If your partner is frustrated with you over something that isn't a major catastrophe then keep your ego out of it and just validate her or his feelings of frustration, rather than reverse blame, rationalize or justify your actions. If you know your partner loves you, you should feel safe enough to say,'You're right, I'm sorry you are frustrated with me." This will make your partner feel a whole lot better about you and the relationship. Kiss and forget about it. UNLESS!! THEY KEEP SCREWING UP!
