Question: What do you think!? Does absence make the heart grow fonder, or is "out of sight, out of mind" more accurate

I believe these statements apply to relationships that are just starting out or that don't have a solid foundation!. For people in a solid, secure relationship, neither would apply!. You don't love them any more or less because they are away!. You just miss them, and their absence does not cause you to forget about them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

absence makes the heart grow fonder!. when you miss them, and they are away, you cherish the time you spend together, coming closer together more "fond" of each other during that time you get to spend together!. that's how i see it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Out of sight, out of mind is more accurate!. A person tends to forget about the good times, and moves on to the present person in his/her life!. Unless their was true, real, love and compatibillity, absence makes you forget about the good times!. You can still think about them but there is nothing to make you connect and the good feelings of being together will fade away!. To make a lasting relationship you have to spend time together doing things you both enjoy!. If there is a long period of being apart, feelings will fade!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Boy, I could get in trouble for this!.!.!.

To be clear - I speak of relationships without a solid, secure emotional foundation (it's been my experience that with a foundation, absence does make the heart grow fonder, because one feels incomplete without one's partner - in crime, in bed, in life - to share new experiences with)!.

For more casual relationships, romantic companionship is what's being shared!. During short absences, the heart grows fonder because (idealy) you're willing to wait it out for a two-week vacation, and you're really missing that companionship after that time!. For longer or more permanent absences, there's no companionship!. So after a time, that person is "out of sight, out of mind," because one seeks companionship, not long-distance devotion, in a casual romantic relationship!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That depends on whether there is a true 'fondness' to begin with!. If you're REALLY in love then absence will make the heart grow fonder b/c you're so happy when your loved one returns!. If you're not in love then 'out of sight, out of mind' is most applicable or 'when the cat's away the mice will play'!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have to disagree!. When I spend time apart from my husband, I feel stronger feelings of want and need for him!. But those are usually dashed within 72 hours of my return because we fall into our regular routine!. Then, when he leaves for work, he's out of my sight, so!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Out of sight out of mind!

If you had a boyfriend in iraq and Mario Lopez (star)!.
came to visit you - would you still be so loyal to the boyfriend!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Our actions make out of sight out of mind our choice due to pain and regret!.!. however, if you are true to yourself and your love than absence does indeed make the heart grow fonder!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I depends on the people!. I know people I would say one thing and I know people I would say the other thing about!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
