Out Of Sight...Out Of Mind

This is true once communication lessen due to distance. but, if constant communication is there- I don't think the distant will be a reason for love to fade.

I am experiencing this presently.When my grandparents and parents were around our house was always flooded with visitors.After all of them passed away one by ne,slowly people started to distance themselves. I am single and thee is nobody in my house except me and my helpers.People,friend and relatives have distanced themselves and i stopped coming to my house.I do not even get phone calls.Since i am invalid and wheelchairbound i can`t go anywhere.I do call up others but thats about all.So now i mostly keep to myself and do not bother whether anybody remembers me or not.I am enjoying my anonymity.

Sad to say this is so. Although I'm not sure absolute forgetfulness is always or even often the result. There are many people I've known and been close to in the past I'm in little or no contact with, but I've never forgotten them, and I often think of one or the other of them, with affection, sadness, regret, feeling sad there was a drifting apart. I'm a Christian, and I've been known to pray for them, individually or collectively. I can't speak to them; but I can pray for them, and I'm grateful for that privilege, and to me it's a great privilege indeed. I'm older than I once was...and less healthy too...but I often dream of going a travelling, visiting places that were dear to me in earlier days, and seeing people who are still dear to my heart, an odyssey of sorts. I'd love to do that, and I occasionally dream of it in my head. For after all, life's short, and you never know when you are going to lose an old friend: some of my generation have already gone, and it grieves me to think of them. It's part of the reason why I pray. There have been times I've prayed for everyone I've ever known, collectively. I wish the best for them. Life's precious after all...so short too.

Close relationships fade on account of distance only if people let it happen. There are many ways to stay in touch. Writing, texting, online. Now days there is no excuse for letting a relationship fade because of distance. Any relationship that a person wants to keep needs to be nurtured and if there is a will there is a way to do that.

I am sure you are right, but I always try to keep close those that I love, by phone, e-mail or text. If they are gone for long, I want to see them on the Web. However this is not always possible, I have a grandson and his family that I never see. I have never met his wife or baby the distance is just to great, But my love for him is still strong.

hi, im sorry to say but i think distance in relationships changes things create problems and u eventually drift apart,when u love someone u have to make choices,and b with them even if it disrupts your life

I think that it is true in most cases that it is out of sight, out of mind. I have quite a few good friends. When we used to be working together, we had more time and chances to be together, but after we parted with each other because of work, at the beginning we contacted each other a lot, but gradually less often though we are still good friends.

I agree. I've seen it time and time again. Even if a both people do their best to nurture the relationship from a distance it can become frustrating to one or both parties. If a couple can arrange to spend time with each other occasionally... they might be able to maintain the relationship for a while. If the only thing they have with each other is email and phone conversation... one or both people will usually give up.

This is a bitter truth of life. Even thickest friendship, dying love will fade away with distance and time. But there is one relationship that never ever fades awy and get distracted by time and distance. The velocity of that love does not corresponds with these variable. And that is Mother`s love. She will never forget you,even if you are miles away and you did not call her for decades. You will be on her thought everyday and every hour. So only no other relationship can surpass Mother`s love.
