I feel good with my husband: I like his warmth and his bigness and his being-there and his making and his jokes and stories and what he reads and how he likes fishing and walks and pigs and foxes and little animals and is honest and not vain or fame-crazy and how he shows his gladness for what I cook him and joy for when I make him something, a poem or a cake, and how he is troubled when I am unhappy and wants to do anything so I can fight out my soul-battles and grow up with courage and a philosophical ease. I love his good smell and his body that fits with mine as if they were made in the same body-shop to do just that. What is only pieces, doled out here and there to this boy and that boy, that made me like pieces of them, is all jammed together in my husband. So I don't want to look around any more: I don't need to look around for anything. . Sylvia Plath
About This Quote

I have always been lucky with the men I have dated. All of them have had some major flaws, but none of them have ever disappointed me. The men I have dated are completely unique in their own ways, but they all seem to be happy with me for who I am. However, what I really love is that my boyfriends have all been so open to me about their problems.

They have never scared me away with their anger or by being too clingy or possessive. I feel that they are good people who want to do the right thing and be there for me.
