My father was utterly submissive. My mother was domineering, and yet, oddly service oriented. Despite her dominance of the household, she totally served my father of her own initiative...i don't think he ever requested it. she just seemed to enjoy doing it. Hmm. maybe that was just another way of controlling him. She picked out his clothes, cut his hair, and ensured he always had balanced meals, breakfast. lunch and dinner. When i think about it, there's was such a D/s relationship, but most certainly, never one that was negotiated. Rather, it just was. Still, they fought like cats and dogs. Sometimes my dad would have enough of her domineering style, and he would quietly dig in his heels, which infuriated my mom. In my own observations, i don't think power is really ever equally shared...one tends to have more power than the other, and sometimes they fight over the power. That's one of the things i love about clear cut, negotiated D/s relationships. It cuts through those fights for power by establishing who has it and who doesn't.
