Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

“We needed to break up to realize we were right for each other” Case history: “Kerry and I had dated on and off for a while before breaking up for nine months. One day during that time, I happened to read an article in The New York Times about Einstein's brain.

In an instant, I thought:
1) She must have read the article because she always read the paper and
2) if we were together right now we would have had an interesting conversation about it. In that moment, I missed her intensely and thought maybe I’d made a mistake letting her go. That was the beginning of my journey back to the woman who’s now my wife.”

Love lesson: Absence can make the heart grow fonder. Breaking up with someone doesn’t always mean it’s over. After a hiatus, many couples reunite and are stronger than ever, having gained a newfound perspective on their relationship and appreciation for its strengths, says Hamburg.

So if an ex you haven’t talked to or even thought about in months or years suddenly enters your mind, don’t discount it as a fluke. Fate could be trying to tell you something. Maybe it’s time to make that call or compose that email.
