Attachment strengthens and weakens bonds alternately for the rest of our lives. When you are emotionally and mentally detached from the people who mean a lot to you, then you are insulated to a great extent from these ups and downs.
Many think that attachment is a necessary part of love, but that is not always true. It increases neediness and emotional dependency.
So, if you want a long term solution, you can practice standing alone uninfluenced by others, while still being with them, and even at times helping them. This will give you the needed confidence to brave the ups and downs in relationships. This is what I feel.
