Absence: Does it make the Heart grow fonder?

It all depends on the relationship and how close you really are. Yes, absence can make the heart grow fonder or wander.

It's so complicating if you'll think about these harder and deeper. . Whew! What can i say? .. Everything u said are totally true. I can well relate to this matter. Fyi, got a long-distance relationship with my boyfriend. And yes, as time goes by my excitement and missing his presence grows really fonder. But on the other hand, his absence also makes me feel alone at times and depressed that i tend to think of what if i will like somebody else new. . . anyway, take care. You really made me think here huh? (",)

I also think it depends on the time and distance of the sepparation. I had a long distance relationship a while back and I was doing fine. He said he was a bit lonely and I told him it would be okay we would be together after the semester. So I thought I would suprise him and show up. well his old roommate says that he was not here anymore. He had stopped going to school and moved in with someone else. He had been lying to me this whole time. I severely crushed, but eventually I got over it and moved on. I figured that if he was doing that to me he would do it to whever he was with, and I didn't need that drama in my life.. So yes I do think that absense really does make the heart grow fonder, you just have to be careful as to WHO your heart is absent from... Thanks for the interresting topic..

Yes its very true my friend. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. I have been away from the person that I care about for a week, it was the time that I have appreciated his small gestures of love when we are together and I miss those times that I have someone to talk to even the most nonsense things. I feel guilty sometimes for not appreciating those simple gestures of love and when I was away, I have realized that indeed he was an important par of my life.

Yes, i do believe that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but it also depends on the time or distance. if the person has been away for to long, there is a chance that you may want to seek attention from someone else.

There are two sides of the same coin. Its like that. Absence makes the heart grow fonder because you dont have each other to fight, create scenes and thus you become your own boss. You do as you please and thus the love between two people has a silver lining. We all know two people cannnot live together without getting on each others nerves at some time. The other side is because of the absence of the person, the love diminishes into memories and nobody can live with memories alone. Each one needs someone on whose shoulder you can lean on, and thus one starts looking out for somebody new.

I think absence makes the heart grow fonder when you don't find the same good qualities in people you meet when the concerned person is away from you. If you were to meet people with much better qualities, your heart might consider another.

It depends on the couple.For me I would start out missing him something awful but I would eventually get used to being without him and then if I didn't hear from him regularly, I would look for another.but I could see where it could work. Especially if the couple kept in touch regularly and it was their work that was keeping them apart. I mean both people have careers that they love and it keeps them busy. But with both busy schedules they can still keep in touch regularly, it could work.

it is a very choice .keep it up

Absence may make the heart grow fonder under certain circumstances only. That's when the persons concerned are new in love. lol. In my opinion, absence is the greatest test of all relationships. It is the absence that makes one think deeper of the relationship and it makes the heart grow fonder or otherwise. Your personal experience illustrates the abstractness of the above statement.

It depends on how strong your relationship is or how much you are in love with. If the love is strong then absence will make the heart grow fonder otherwise it will wander. True love waits.

Mine too..My boyfriend and I have been physically separated from each other for almost two years now, and our love for each other still grows stronger every day. I have a quote for you too... "Sometimes you have to let go to see if there was anything worth holding on to.”

Absence do makes the heart grow fonder. But absence also makes the heart wonder. Eventually absence made you wander away. I don't believe in seeing someone you love every minute every hour, thats not practical. A little bit of space and distance will be but not too much or else both parties will begin to think negative thoughts and grow suspicious of one another and is not healthy in the long run.

I think at first the absence makes the heart fonder as you miss the person and long for them to come back and share experiences with you. However, if it is a long time and there is not much communication or they have gone away to do something exciting and left you behind, then I think it turns to wander. You begin to wonder what they are doing without you and why you are missing out on the company etc. so start to feel that you should be looking closer to home.

yeah it is 100%true...we miss our dear ones more if they are far away from us

based on my experience, It makes me crazy.. hehehhe- i keep on thinking about him when he was away from me.

Uhmm..absence does make the heart grow fonder..provided that you are still together and there's a promise of being reunited once again. But absence without any sign of hope for the two of you will result to a heart finding another.

yes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. you will be longing for him. you will miss everything about him. but then in the long run you are not aware that this so called absence will be a poison in the relationship that both of you will be looking for another person. better find a person thats near you 'coz long distance relationship doesn't work. but then it still depends on the person.
