How do you guys emotionally detach someone that you've known for a long time without being rude?

Firstly, to emotional detach from a person you need a clear and definable reason for doing so. This requires that one can define what the processing is within and the type relationship that one is in. Knowing emotional regulating is being engineered and/or citing one or more concrete exampled reasons for Detachment is paramount.

The best 500.00 you will ever spend will be seeking professional advice or consult before delving into this. Obviously, the relationship has to be redefined to fit within your boundaries. This will probably demand less accessibility which will likely bring more pressures when you do share the same space.

Deal with your emotions as your experiences before Detachment process as your pain will probably be exacerbated as she feels you stepping back or pulling away. It is likely to be as good as it can be at this very moment. Deal with your emotional baggage as the suitcase pops open or the upcoming full-court press will likely beak you. Best !!

I suspect you didn't shoot your shot and now she's railing another guy

You mean without feeling guilty? Because there’s nothing rude about detaching, you’re not insulting the person you’re just stepping back. To which I’d say there is no easy way to do it. I had to detach from a very one-sided, unhealthy friendship and the person tried really hard to hang on once they saw me letting go. But at the end of the day you just have to remind yourself that your peace of mind and mental health has to come first, and hopefully they can find a way to accept and respect that one day.
