Do you believe in the saying that absence makes the heart grow fonder or it makes you love the person less? what's your views in this?

well..i believe that even if your partner is far from you, you wouldn't like someone else. no matter how sexy/handsome/hot or whatever. because you're only INLOVE with one person. and that is your partner :D well..it applies to me :D

This sentence hold good for the person you like and moreover even the absence should not be too long as this will also effect your relationship for sure as too long absence might reduce your interest towards that person and even that person might also lose interest in you.There might always be a chance of new person entering in each one's life if the absence is too long and who knows that new person might have soem interesting characters which will keep you attracted towards him

I'm afraid this might happen to those who doesn't have good communication and the love is not solid.

I think the time we take when we are apart,it makes the love grow more for the other partner, I have experience this and not once but many times and what I realized is that when my boyfriend is near to me I never feel the same love as when he is far from me and come back. It is strange but when we come back after lets say some five days we feel more attached to each other and we want each other more and more though.

I believe in this saying. As long as you can still feel the love and concern of the partner, it is alright even if your partner is not physically present. There should be constant communication though. Physcially absent for a while will make your next meeting more exciting for each other. In that ways it makes the heart grow fonder. But if the relationship lacks communication the relationship will just be useless and the love will just fade away one day.

Right, communication is one of the most important thing in a relationship. Without it I don't think love will survive.

It does. Especially during the first few months. There is a certain emptiness that can't fill knowing that your partner is miles away. But it is important to still keep in touch because without calls, emails or sms one will feel that the other is losing interest and that will destroy the relationship.

I think different situation will have different result. Some person will miss more and more while others will forget gradually.

Yah, it depends on the person and how the person loves his/her partner.

You are right. The love for the distant people is more than to the love for the near ones. It is because, we imagine a lot about the distant ones and try to remember the positive things about them. But that is a myth. If they too are going to live nearby, no doubt we will lose interest in them.

If their love is genuine then it will last. You really got a point. Living together/ near on each other and long distance love affair is very different.

The saying or proverb is absolutely right. It is painful not to have someone we love by our side. But there is a Bengali saying " daat thaakte daater mormo bujhe na "... meaning we do not make use of our teeth when we have them, but repent later after losing them.

i agree with what you say. if we are very close to someone and that person stops to like care the same for us and be far from us our feelings change yes. bcs i talk for me if i love a guy and the guy says he loves me i need he tells me how much i mean to him and things like that you know. constant care. i just think that absence works with those couples that even far keep in touch in some way and find ways to show they still care you know^^

I absolutely believe that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Currently my fiance and I are living in two different states and have been for the past couple of years. We chat with one another on the phone, and he works a lot so it definitely makes me miss him even more and makes our phone chats and when we do see one another that much more special. I don't believe that I would be the person I am today in this relationship without having lived so far apart. It makes us love and appreciate each other even more.

The follow-up question is will it be the same if you are finally with him where fighting and misunderstanding awaits?
