Yes. One appreciates best what's lost or taken away as much as what's nowhere near.

Not in the long run.
You may have a situation where someone has been part of your daily life for a while, and when he/she leaves you feel as if that statement is very true. You may miss someone far more than you ever thought you would have; however.... that's a short-term thing that has to do with not liking to have to change your day-to-day living or having to do without whatever you had with that person.
In general, however, the longer someone is away the easier it gets to live without him/her. Each of you develops new daily habits, meets new people, gets used to not having the other around, etc. That's not saying that if you have a really perfect and wonderful love with someone that it will die if you are separated, but my opinion is you also won't love them any more based on absence from them alone. You'll just continue to love them as you have in the past.
More appropriate sayings would be:" Absence makes the heart get used to it more and more every day" or else (in the case of the perfect and wonderful love) "Absence makes the heart grow longing-er" (which isn't the same as "fonder")

Yes, if you spend too much time with someone, then you get to used to each other. And remember the time that you looked at the one you loved, and when you were a virgin? Your heart grew fonder for that person, and when you wait till your wedding night, before you sleep with him/her your heart does grow fonder. That is called True Love!

Not with the memories some guys leave you or you leave them with, in some cases time to think and evaluate is the worse thing for someone whose hoping your heart will grow fonder.

I think that is very true. We too often take what we have for granted. When it is suddenly farther away, we re-evalute and truly see what we are missing.
I strongly believe in absence makes the heart grow fonder, don't you??

True... but it can't be extreme absence or the heart might forget.

Yes.
So is the phrase, Out of sight, out of mind. I guess it depends on how deep in the heart everyone is before the parting.

You will learn that, if the heart is true, the words are even more true!
