You know, I've always wondered what this phrase actually means. Come to think of it, the literal interpretation would be the longer you're away, the more you're missed, so the longer you're not here, the better the people think of you, but the moment you actually show your face at their doorstep... well... and the rest is silence... <lol>

a friend who does bereavement counselling says that good 80% or more of newly
bereaved 'grieving widows' are not destraught because of their recent loss -
they don't hesitate to say 'he was a bast**d' but rather they mourn all other
losses they suffered in life. So a reality check when you turn up on the
doorstep ain't a bad thing. Besides, who's to say you won't live up to
expectations? axxie sounds smitten, she's gone all girly on you :)

Another thing about folk wisdom is that there usually is a saying meaning
something quite different if not totally opposite eg: 'you only live once'
vs 'better safe than sorry' or here 'absence makes the heart grow fonder'
vs 'out of sight, out of mind'.

axxie spent 30+ hours on different planes, not counting time at the airports,
and slept only 7 hours in the last 3 days...so she refuses to be responsible
for her own words :)
