Does absence make the heart wander...or go fonder?

For some people, long distance relationships work. For some, it doesn't work. it depends on whose involved, if you're the type of person who likes to have your loved one near you every now and then, if you're someone who needs to constantly cared, touched, comforted, etc... then a long distance relationship would not work. But if you're the kind of person who is more independent and whose faith is strong and who would not easily fall into insecurities and jealousy, then i guess, you likely to survive a long distance relationship. :)

i'm staying in the philippines and my boyfriend in canada. though he's been there for like merely 3months, i still believe it "go fonder".. maybe in your case, lack of communication was the problem.. in life, we always long for somebody to whom we can give our love and in return whom can love us.. since you two lack constant communication, you weren't able to express to him and him to you how much you guys love each other. maybe the reason why it had "wander". and as you said, i guess the love you shared just isn't enough! ciao!

Well, for me relationships needs a lo of hardwork and sacrifice when both parties are far apart, its costly and also its emotionall draining, if the foundation is not that strong then there's a possibility of ending the relationship.

I think it's always very difficult to make long distance relationships work, it takes a tonne of effort from both parties so that they continue to feel for each other. It's very difficult when you don't get to see each other very often. Besides, there is always temptation from the other folks around so that adds to the complexity of such relationships.

I reckon its both, in most cases heart wander especially when one is so far from you like in your situations were mostly their heart wander. In the absence of your partner you also ponder things like what if's , wishing that he is there but as most people say it's tiring to always ponder. And in our everyday lives were a lot of people walks in and out, our heart is normally tempt to wander around. Maybe 1 out of 10 that the distant relationship works.

If your love for each was built on a solid and strong foundation no amount of distance can really break you apart. My wife and I were separated for quite a long period as I work abroad (I still am) but nothing can come between us! We love each other and still do and the feeling is still growing whether we are together or apart.

well,for me it's really hard to have a long distance relationship.yes I do believe that absence makes the heart grow fonder but not for long.

sweetheart..love is stronger than distance..if you love him then go for it..you know that in the sea not all the the they have signals there so they can only call relatives and love one, once they dock on the port...
