about what people's opinions are with regards to the old adage 'absence makes the heart grow fonder'. Is this true or do you believe the statement 'out of sight, out of mind' is more true.

I veer towards the "abstinence makes the heart grow fonder..."

bandanas, you would! :-) x

If it's something/someone who's loved then absence makes the heart grow fonder.
If it's something/someone you don't care for, then out of sight out of mind suits it better.

Yes and No.

Depends on the relationship you have with that particular person.

[Prudie]

I also think it depends on the relationship and the commitment of each partner. Sometimes it does make the heart grow fonder - fonder of the girl next door.

[daffy654]

It depends on the type of relationship and length of time/reason to be apart.

Absence can make the heart grow fonder.
But out of sight out of mind is not always the case. You can pine away!!!!
