When someone is in presence, though we accept overall him, we tend to find fault with him. Instead if he is in absence, we miss him. What we recall is only all his good things.
This is indeed an interesting psychological action. Someone in his absence only exists in our mind, so I think we miss the state of mind when someone was useful for us in his presence, not someone himself who did the bad things too!
Victor Hugo wrote in Les Miserables: "Not seeing someone allows us to imagine in them every perfection."
