ADVICE: Emotionally detaching from another person

"How do you emotionally detach yourself from somebody who shows you no love and affection no matter how hard you try?"

Believe it or not, you have full control over disconnecting with this person who clearly does not value you. 

The real issue here, however, is not about the other person; it’s about what’s lacking in YOU emotionally. The fact that you’re asking this question tells me that you’re frustrated with the effort you've put into the relationship and not getting at least as much effort in return, and you're ready to make a change.

Get connected with a therapist who can help you to better understand how you got involved with an emotionally-distant person and sort out what’s at the root of that. They can also help you to improve your self-esteem, which will put you in a much better position to only give your love and affection to a person who will gladly reciprocate.
