Sometimes absence doesn’t make the heart grow fonder. Sometimes it just makes the heart hurt.

About This Quote

Sometimes absence doesn’t make the heart grow fonder. Sometimes it just makes the heart hurt. This is a quote that has been widely misinterpreted by people who are in relationships. The quote means that you should never assume your relationship will be any less when you are not together, or that if you happen to miss someone it will make the relationship any more meaningful. It does not mean that if you are in a relationship and the person is absent for some time, you should simply assume it will remain the same when he returns.
