Attachment is only fear. Love is acceptance and unconditional. It's easy to say this but takes lots of life experience to internalize this lesson. It's something I wish I could have internalized when I was younger.
I found that practicing non attachment in relationships only works if the other person has similar values. They got scared and frustrated by it, thinking I don't love them. Unfortunately just explaining it to them doesn't work, because deep down it's the only way they feel safe if the other person is clinging too.
Hi, I have come to the conclusion that, in part (or in whole, I dunno) being in love is like imprinting of one organism on the sight, sound, smell, or some other aspect of another organism (given that the organism is sufficiently organized to do it). I am talking, of course, of famous work done by Konrad Lorenz. To me, the imprinting that I feel I suffer from is like a jagged scar or slash along some neural/biochem pathway of my brain and body. I don't want to trivialize this explanation of love, but as a materialist, there has to be a biological/chemical basis for how we "feel" about someone else (and how fluffy or barky do the same with us). It's so strong, and overpowering, just the sight of this person (live or memorex) sends me into waves of heavy breathing in and out all the way to profound crying. I don't discount the all-encompassing control this "infection" (as I call it sometimes) that I have has over me. And at the same time as I suffer, I also like being under that control. It's one of the sufferings that, I think, I would not want to give up. Is this attachment? Yes. Is this a clinging or a craving? Yes. Is this something that causes only suffering? I would say NO. Being near this person sends me into sparkly sensations. Seeing the photo of them gets me close to that. Thinking or even meditating on their smile, also. So, yes, we know the dukkha. But the dukkha is flavoured with extreme gratitude and measured, non-transactional love. And so, it's unclear whether or not this source of dukkha will ever be abandoned in this life.

This came to me when i was looking for a ring a friend gave me in tall grass. I remember where i had lost it but i could spend many more hours to find it but i did not mean to lose it, however the ring is not something that can break a tie beyond physical connection of friendship. The ring served for what it need for and now returns to the maya
Buddha's life teaches non-attachment, where he renounced all causes of attachment. Krishna's life teaches Nishkama Karma, where he accepts love, life, and enjoyment, but remains detached.
