Kara. Me. Tigh. Tory. Tyrol. Sharon. Any frakking Cylon especially Leoben. Felix.
You seriously want me to pick just one?

I've been scared for my own life many times over, mainly from all the running from the skin jobs that I've had to do with my team back on Caprica. Nothing prepared me, though, for meeting Kara Thrace. She's a force of nature, and there's really no other way around it. I fell in love with her, hard, and then she left, promising to return to save me.
Yeah, well, she kept her promise. Then we got married.
Everything changed after that. I remember talking to Lee's wife… frak, what's her name again? Well, we were talking a little during The Dance while watching Kara and Lee up there and… you could just tell. It wasn't like I wasn't used to the way she'd been treating me. Using me, walking away, throwing happiness aside just so she could try for something impossible.
That didn't scare me, though.
She died on me. Left me alone frak-faced drunk on the hangar deck, without any other friends, really.
That didn't really scare me, either, not once I tried to push past that.
Nah, what scared me the most about Kara was when she came back and she came back different. Her ship was spotless, she had no memory of how she'd gotten there, she kept thinking about Leoben and wanting to side with the Cylons… not knowing that I was one. Gods, I knew she'd find out my little secret any day and kill me, just like she'd sworn she would.
Instead we fought, we frakked, and she said things about leaving her body… about not feeling like she was who she was supposed to be…
I thought right then that she'd figured me out. My own wife, facing away from me, but ready to kill me. Maybe it would have been better that way. Who knows?
I think, out of anyone that I know, Kara scares me the most. Because I love her, and because I know what she's capable of.
And because I don't think she knows either of those two things.
