I actually had a conversation with my Dom/Sir tonight about this. He and I have a Dom/sub relationship, though he considers me to be his relationship equal. As the nature of my career, and jobs I have previously had, I have been given vast amounts of responsibility. I have managed large projects, as well as work groups of 250 people, and my current job has me responsible for 700 people. I spend so much of my life being the leader, the one in charge, and the decision-maker, and it takes quite a toll on me. My relationship with Sir has been quite a relief...because there is this lovely little spot in my life where I can look at somebody else and ask them to make the decision for me. After a full day of being in charge, it's refreshing to let somebody else choose the movie, order dinner, or plan the rest of the evening. In addition, this is a responsibility that he loves to take. He enjoys being in charge of decision-making, not only out of his dominant nature (as well as the standard male "provider" mindset), but because he knows that it pleases me pass on the responsibilty. We went to the movies with friends last night...and they sat very close to the screen. As my Sir and I both have back/neck problems, he looks at me and asks if the seats would be more comfortable elsewhere, and he took great pleasure in the small task of finding new seats :-) As I had spent the evening in the kitchen cooking for friends (after a rather long drive to arrive there), it was as pleasing to me to pass on the responsibility of something else in my life. ~Dolce
