Dear Miss Manners: Two months ago, I started a beautiful relationship with a 59-year-old guy. I am 44. We broke up with our current relationships based on the strong feelings we felt for each other. After a month of feeling bad for his ex, my new man says he feels we should take a break, but after a few days, he wanted to see me.

What this country needs, in addition to the elusive nickel cigar, is a president with less presence and more absence. Not just from Barack Obama, but from whoever follows him as well. Celebrities, even presidents, can be too much among us. They, like us, suffer for it. The jet airplane, the ubiquitous television camera and now the Internet have conspired to illustrate as nothing ever has that familiarity breeds contempt, that it's absence that makes the heart grow fonder. Women once knew that by female instinct, until they aspired to be men, minus the body odor and whiskers. (Some of them are working on that.)

Our second first lady and president, Abigail and John Adams, were wed this week (Oct. 25) in 1764, and the old adage, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder," would certainly apply to them. Theirs was, arguably, the closest marriage among the Founders. Yet, during it, they were apart far more often than they were together, due mostly to John's service to his young country. When John wasn't being asked to leave his home and family in Massachusetts to serve his country in Congress, he was being asked to leave family and country to represent the latter in Europe.
