lovelessly
In unfeeling manner
Lovelessly means without love or affection—in a cold, detached manner.
A marriage conducted lovelessly lacks warmth or emotional connection.
She stared lovelessly at the man she'd once adored.
The word emphasizes absence rather than hostility; it's not hatred but emptiness.
