Someone who'll take care of you Explanation: well it's not a "known" canonized idiom, but it seems about right. if you give a little more context, i can be a bit more sure. |

Sugar Daddy // someone to take good care of you Explanation: Sugar Daddy - marrying or being with a rich man, often much older than the woman, who takes care of all her needs and desires (your context implies such a couple). Someone to take good care of you - generally speaking about any kind of a relationship. |

Someone who'll be there for you Explanation: Connotation of דיסה מתוקה brings to mind also a comfort factor. Hot cereal on a cold day or when you have the sniffles. Someone to look after you physically but also emotionally. Sugar Daddy implies an older man who allows himself to be exploited by a younger woman because he's either foolish or crazy about her. מישהו עם דייסה מתוקה בשבילך has a connotation of warmer feeling "coming in from the cold" as it were to find someone there for you. Much more positive relationship than sugar daddy. |
