It's only truly an attachment if you fear to let go.
Obviously Jedi can have friends, comrades, even very close ones- and obviously that's very troubling for Obi-Wan when he had to turn against Anakin; a real test of his Light Side virtues. Jedi are continually tested in that wasy.
It's impossible to be truly free of attachment and actually do anything in the Galaxy, but the Order still makes a strong effort to discourage Jedi from the obviously strong attachments of family and partners.

this i disagree with. its different to have friends and loved ones and something entirely different to refuse to let go when their time is spent.
i dont agree. but i think from a different point of view than most. i think the jedi were wrong to forbid family bonds and even marriage. i think they made the law way too strict out of a complete lack of trust for their own. i would even dare argue that had anakin NOT had to hide his marraige, and had he not had to hide his attachment for his mother, the jedi may have been able to council him properly...nip it in the bud if you will...
breaks up with you? you mean 'dies' right?
other than that, i fully agree.
This is different than friendship attachment. Anakin and Padme's relationship dealt with the very controversial aspect of love.

a) If your partner dies, as long as you are able to move on, there is no problem.
b) If you are in a relationship and your partner feels they no longer want to be with you. It's the whole thing about being willing to let go and not holding onto something selfishly i.e. wanting what's best for your loved one, not what's best for you.
