Sometimes it is, but sometimes it's the opposite.
"Out of sight, out of mind" always seemed to apply to relationships, and i have never seen a 100% sucessful long-distance relationship. Peace out!

By an absence of a loved one, our five senses are bereft in all ways in relation to that person. We yearn to satisfy our so called senses, there by the urge becomes stronger and stronger by the ongoing absence of the object of attention. That urge takes on the form of love for the loved one growing up stronger each minute, until the moment those two meet and till some time after that meeting, there is, hugging kissing, crying with joy, and if you notice after some days, when the senses are satisfied, the euphoria of love dims, and life gets back to normal...... the same vision on the negative side..... some one wants to take revenge and is filled with hatred, and the object of his attention is absent, his hatred will grow and grow until they meet and the purpose is served, the emotion dulls naturally..

The reason for this is longing. Once you have something special wiith someone and then they are not present for a time period you are forced to remember the special times and how you felt during those times. Hence, the age old saying "Absence makes the heart grow fonder!"

We take things for granted when it is around us all the time. When you have a partner there day in and day out then they are always there and you assume they will be there. When they leave it brings it home that they are not there. It stirs the feeling of possible loss and insecurity. We realize how much we really need it and feel our heart reach out for it.

cause familarity breeds contempt..you must not be married or you would know this...
absence does make the heart go fonder as our minds intenisfy emotions and feelings. just like being on a diet gives us a fondness to the foods we cannot have anymore..pizza ..junk food
well, those are my observations...

Try thinking of it like this: We need to "output" Our emotions and feelings for Our loved ones. When someone is absent We cannot "show" Our love for that person, and it gets bottles up. When the object of Our desire returns We "bubble over", so to speak. Get the basic idea?

Its the craving. Wanting something badly when it is not there. The love drug is missing.

because they aren't there daily to make you angry or to argue with but they aren't there to make up with after that either...you minnd thinks about how perfect things would be if they were there with you at tht moment so it makes you miss them even more...
