I highly disagree. If you have to think that person never considered you in that way, 9/10x that is negative projections of low self esteem and insecurity. Because once you shower those same people with your love and attention, all of a sudden your clingy and they don't like you anymore. When you leave them for a awhile, all of sudden you mean and you don't care. There needs to be a balance. People like me can be alone for long periods of time and still be okay. While some can't for no more than a day and go into depressive states for weeks. In a healthy relationship there is trust. If you can't trust then, don't or stop dating them.
If you really care about someone you miss them when you're not with them, if you don't miss them then that means you could take them or leave them. Now missing someone doesn't mean you have to ve with them 24/7 just means you enjoy your time together cherish it and look forward to seeing them again.
Or maybe your relationship just has trust, security, and comfort to the point where spending loads of time together isn't the only thing that makes you happy. You're both able to find happiness in other areas in your life seperately. Quality over quantity
Agree...
but this is only valid in usual break ups for a week or two after arguing and escalation.
It's more complicated if she cheats and dumps you. Grabs in a week a new boyfriend and spreads hatred about you among mutual friends. Her best female friend doesn't believe her lies and dates you over months, tells you stories about your ex that you never wanted to hear and says that your ex talks the most time about you when she is drunk. I mean, in such configuration your question needs more advanced definition, because hating an absent person doesn't make sense.
Me and my best friend fell out for a month, I was upset, but I moved on and wasn't bothered by not talking or hanging out. We recently made up and started hanging out again and i very much prefer having them around, but being apart isn't the end of the world.
Absence shouldn't bother a person unless it is indefinite. In most cases you'll see eachother again soon, so it shouldn't make you feel negatively. In the case of indefinite or permanent absence (death/not sure when you'll meet again) that can be painful regardless

Agree. However, a lot of people will pretend it doesn't bother them and won't let it show that it really does. You really never know what is going on in someone's soul.
Mostly agree. But what amount of time constitutes an absence?
I agree. Feeling like that with the latest woman I went out with. Sucks when she doesn't like you enough to hit you up with a message or seems like she doesn't give two fucks about you, especially when you like her.
Haven't seen her in over two weeks, but at least I know where I stand with her.
That is the type of statement that is good food for thought. But it is not an absolute by any means. Some people are naturally loners and are quite comfortable being apart from their loved ones for extended periods of time. That does not diminish how much the person loves their friends and family.
It doesn't necessarily mean you never mattered. Some people are very bad at keeping up with people who are not around. Other people are very busy, and have little time to time. Or, it could be, that you did not matter that much to them. Different reasons fit for different situations.
In the context of romantic relationships particularly, that statement is almost always true. If someone loves you, naturally, they would miss you.
Food for thought: This is also true for relationships based on more superficial elements (e. g. sex or money). E. g. Of you're SO is only in it for the money and nothing else, your absence (or rather, that of your money) would bother them, and your presence (in a way) actually mattered, inspite of the lovelessness in your relationship.
I've found this to be true. If you're constantly soliciting for attention, it's not worth your time.
Disagree, to a certain extent yes. But sometimes it's nice to have some alone time
With partners - agree (not counting the times when you just need some alone time)
With friends -disagree (I can go months of not seeing some of my closest friends but it does not mean I don'f value the time we spend together when we can meet up)
It seems pretty black and white, but some people are really good at compartmentalizing and an absence (still waiting for a definition) could potentially bother them less. Also if the person is busy with the various slaps to face life likes to give then there might be a priority higher then you.
In a way. It really depends on the person. For most people I would say this is true, but for the most introverted people in the world who like to keep to themselves a lot, I would say that they just prefer to be alone sometimes. Those people are different and work in the same way as us, they just enjoy some alone time more than most.
False, some people like myself are just really independent or don't require a lot of socialising. Doesn't mean we value our time with our friends any less, in fact we probably value it more.
This is not always true. Guys for example are likely to not show their pain. They will pretend nothing ever happened, try to move on, and really seem cold. They might not show it but on the inside their probably dying.
You should be strong enough to write off people who desert you. Especially the ones that mattered. If you aren't - that's your fault.
Disagree. Sometimes absence is required no matter how much you wish you could have them.
Maybe, maybe not, but it certainly means it was taken for granted.
Disagree because everyone needs time apart. Makes you appreciate each other when you're back together
I wouldn't say NEVER. Perhaps before they did care. But if they are apart and don't miss eachother, that tells me they are not that close.
I love my wife, she's works 24hr shifts but I'm sorry but I kinda enjoy having a day here and there alone. Everyone needs alone time. I'd probably feel different if she were gone for more than 2 or 3 days at a time.
i mean if you can't be alone for a day or 2, you should probably think about going to therapy but well if you don't miss them when they're "gone", then there was nothing of value lost.
