Does it really make the heart grow fonder? ![]() To a point yes because you start thinking of all the GOOD things between you two... and when they get back you start remembering the little things you dont like about them. |

For some.

Not for me.... it makes me wonder why I am in that relationship.

No. I just think it doesn't breed contempt, satiation, or complacency; as being together all the time can do.
The less time you spend together, person to person... the less likely you are to take those times for granted or to get enough... not to mention those who get "too much" and might feel smothered or bored. I'd say a fair amount of absence keeps the heart fonder longer... not making it grow fonder to begin with. After all... don't we all want what we cannot have? ![]() |

Awww shucks guys....
![]() If you all did not ask these questions I'd never think of the responses I do. You teach me about things I had no idea about before, really. I struggle in my LDR... I really do. My SO just does such a great job of how he expresses his feelings and I get so frustrated. But I take comfort in knowing my frustation comes from love and anticipation. I got to take comfort in that, because as he said, I am lucky I have a person to miss and to love me in return. Being apart from the person we love shows us how much we appreciate that person. It keeps them in our hearts because we carry theirs within ours. ![]() |

it depends on how long of an absense
|
|
|
|
I think that only works if the other person has ever been present. In that case i would say absolutely.
