Compersion

I have been thinking about compersion lately. What does it really mean? According to Urban Dictionary, it is a feeling of joy when a loved one invests in and takes pleasure from another romantic or sexual relationship. In many ways, it is the opposite of jealousy.
I, personally, enjoy watching Master as He develops relationships. It is a beautiful thing to watch, to be a part of. Its something that many others never get to experience. It brings me pleasure to see Master go through this.
Watching Him develop feelings for someone reminds me of so many of the reasons I fell in love with Him in the first place. I don't feel the need to "mark my territory" so to speak. When He begins a relationship with a new girl, I actually get extra attention so Master can be sure I am still ok. He keeps me involved in almost every part of it all.
When He tells me about things with a new girl, I love to hear the excitement in His voice, the joy He has when telling me of something His new girl might have done that surprised Him.
Often times, I can tell He is experiencing emotions, sometimes before He knows. With His new girl, I know there are emotions developing, I know they are getting deeper, but I just don't know exactly how deep they are, but it will be soon, I think.
Some would feel jealous that their Husband was falling in love with someone else. But me? I feel that joy, as if I was falling in love right along side Him. In a way I am falling in love along with Him, but its a different type of love. When I know He trusts a girl enough to begin to open His heart to her, I can begin to develop that caring for her as a sister, as a partner, as an equal. A lot of steps were taken towards that point the other day, when Master allowed, and even set the stage for, some bonding to happen between us. We really did bond then.
I love watching Master fall for another girl. It doesn't mean He loves me less, its not a zero sum game, it just means He has opened His heart to someone else as well.
