When I Live With a Man...

If I’m having a bad day… if I’m not being the companion you need right now… please don’t get frustrated. Women like to put a good face on most of the time but some days, the stress, the difficulties of the day, the messiness of reality will all get to us at one time or another. A little tenderness will sooth the heartache and trials. I’ll adore you for it.

Life scares me… and I freak out sometimes. Please just shower love and sensitivity.

I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
