+1 yVery much B.
Part of the reason me and the missus get along so well is because we're sometimes apart for weeks at a time. It just get's us out of each other's hair. Almost all the time i see couples bickering it's because they are living together and constantly under each other's skin, especially if they're the type who like their independence.70 Reply

+1 yI experience a bit of both. I tend to miss people more when I first start seeing less of them, almost like withdrawal. Time apart makes me depend on their presence less, though. If I were to avoid someone long enough, the pain and longing would be dulled to the point of it being easy to ignore.

This is a joke, right?
Both are completely true. Why are you trying to differentiate?
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, IF YOU'RE ALREADY IN THE HEART! You can't miss something or someone you never knew.
If you're not in my heart and you go away, you may as well never have existed at all in my world.10 Reply766 opinions shared on Other topic. Number 2 for me, most definitely.
I once heard that guys fall in love in a girl's absence while girls fall in love in a guy's presence, but who knows how accurate that is20 Reply
