lovelessness
Absence of affection
Lovelessness is the state of being without love—either the absence of love received or the inability to give it.
The word describes emotional barrenness: The lovelessness of her childhood left lasting scars.
It can characterize relationships, environments, or periods of life marked by coldness and indifference.
