unattachable

Impossible to affix

Not capable of being attached.

Something unattachable lacks the means or compatibility to connect to something else: The bracket was unattachable without the right screws.

The word also applies to people who resist emotional bonds or commitments: He seemed permanently unattachable, never settling into relationships.
