Does Absense Make the Heart Grow Fonder?

Does Absense Make the Heart Grow Fonder? Well I am about to find out. I just dropped my guy off at the airport and won't be back to pick him up for 3 weeks! When he gets back we are taking a major step in our relationship and are going to move in together, so supposedly this time a part will "do us good" before making this step. But I dont know it sucks to have him gone already!!!! What do you guys (and gals) think, Does Absense Make the Heart Grow Fonder?

You will still love him more than you did yesterday but not as much as you will tomorrow

I think it does. I havent been able to see my girl for 3 months now, apart from the webcam, and the idea that in 2 months we will be together again only makes things more special. I mean, I think that if we can make it thru this period, we can make it thru anything!

As you know, you begin to forget the value of your beloved ones when you have spent some time with them.
So when you feel that way, it's time to have a short break up to refine your relationship if you ask me.

I think it's just a reminder of what matters, it puts things in perspective a little bit.


You feel the same, you're just maybe more aware of it, rather than taking it for granted.

I can relate to that. I'm just after coming out of a 2 and a half year relationship and its the good things you remember and miss after time apart, not the bad things that made you fight in the first place.

6 more days till he comes home!!! In our case it seems as if absence is making our hearts grow fonder. Even though it has sucked missing him so much, it has really been a very romantic time in our relationship. He has called several times a day and we've exchanged really gushy gooey text messages and emails etc. I can't wait till he is done with Terminal 2 (ha ha) and is back home. Which by then I will almost be done moving my stuff into his (our) condo and it really will be home.

3 weeks...amateurs...try 7 months :-P.

It takes 2 mature and independently minded and secure people to make it work. Odds are against it, but true love, trust, communication, a strong family support system and as my relationship with my wife shows, can work. It sucks, its hard, there are days that the thought of walking away from it pop up, but after taking the time to think about it, evaluate the depth of whats going on, what is to come...love conquers all.

I have to agree with poolzer... in a month i'll finally see my girlfriend again after 6,5 months.... although i hear so often how people wonder how it works, and indeed that odds are against it, 2 independent people that trust eachother can make it work. So far everything is working great for us as well...and I have good faith for the future
