an excerpt from chicken soup...
"A guy in a relationship is like an ant standing on top of a truck tire. The any is aware that something large is there, but he cannot even dimly comprehend what it is. And if the truck starts moving and the tire starts to roll, the ant will sense that something important is happening, but right up until he rolls around to the bottom and is squashed, the only thought in his brain will be huh?
Thus the No. 1 tip for women to remember is never assume the guy understands that you and he have a relationship. You have to plant the idea in his brain by constantly making subtle references to it such as.. ."Roger, inasmuch as this plane is crashing and we have only a minute to live, I want you to know that we've had a wonderful fiftythree years of marriage together, which clearly constitutes a relationship..." or, " Wake up, Roger! There's a prowler in the den and we have a relationship! You and I do, I mean."..."
