Detachment: You are not emotionally or mentally chained to what a person does or does not do. Detachment means being loving from a distance and dropping the rope. What I mean by this, you are not being influenced or affected by W's words, actions, or behaviors or lack thereof. You still care about and even love the person. It could be a family member, friend, or spouse.
Moving On: It is a state of being that you are completely done with the situation/person and have completely closed the door on the experience. No looking back. One forges a new life or new experience. You appreciate the experience and have put it firmly under your belt. All of your focus and mental energy is on forging a new path forward for yourself.
Think way back to your high school or college when you had a girlfriend. You broke up and you moved on, right? How did that feel to you? That's what moving on really means.
This are my thoughts. I am sure others will chime in with their thoughts on the differences between detachment and moving on.
