What are the opposite words for loving?
The antonyms for the word "loving" are numerous and vary in intensity from mild dislike to utter disgust. The polar opposite of loving can be stern, cold, indifferent, hateful, bitter, or wrathful. When someone is described as unloving, it implies that they don't have affection, concern, sympathy, or empathy towards others. A relationship between two people that is not characterized by love can be referred to as strained, awkward, distant, or estranged. Although different words can be used to describe individuals who lack love, they all convey the message that such a person is unkind and lacks compassion towards others.
