Definitely not one-sided. He wants me to be happy, just as I want him to be happy. Part of that is different for each of us because we hold different roles to each other--he is my Master, and I am his pet. As such, I feel fulfilled serving him and being owned by him; that is what makes me happy. He feels fulfilled being responsible for me and owning me; that's what makes him happy. And he always has our best interests--and thus, my best interests--at heart, even if a decision he makes for me or us isn't one I enjoy. And of course, I get fulfillment obeying him and doing what he wants regardless of whether I actually like the act itself, because at the heart of it I am serving and pleasing him. Ultimately he wants me to be happy and enjoys seeing me have a good time. He cares about me, my well-being, my happiness, my comfort. He cares what I think, asks for my opinions, he is affectionate with me. He is the one with all the authority, but he does not see things as "all about him." In his mind, as he puts it: "A good leader doesn't eat until all his troops are fed." He enjoys that responsibility, that role. And he also likes to do nice things for me, to make me happy, just simply because he loves me. And it is the same for me. Our roles are just different. But we mesh well. In the end, pretty much the only difference with us is where the authority lies--with him. And that complements the lack of authority on my side well because of what we like and what roles we are comfortable in. It all comes down to us giving to each other what the other needs. Mutual fulfillment. That is what relationships are about, but it can look incredibly different from at outside perspective based on what the individuals in each relationship want/need, and how they match up together.It's just whatever works for those involved.
