what about relationships? Are mature (late 20's early 30's) relationships compatible with an "detached" attitude towards life as well?

Yes, since all personalities are unique.

IMO, a laissez-faire attitude is an emotionally/mentally healthier one, since one is less likely to succumb to stress.

Yep, this is medically true as well.. I have seen friends of mine who are younger...and look a whole lot older while i myself look much younger then my actual age..and it is because they choose to stress over everything..well, it plays a big part.. While a little stress is good, too much weakens the immune system and causes a number of things to happen..which can hasten the aging process... Very glad i don't allow it to effect me.. Just means i won't look like the Grinch any time soon

While I agree that people shouldn't stress out 24/7, the reverse also isn't healthy if it leads to apathy.

Whatever will be, will be. All I can do, is all I can do. I work hard, keep my nose to the grindstone, and don't bother anyone. I'll get through this life until it's over. One day at a time.

Is that what you mean?

I personally define it as "let others do what they do, and live your own life." it also means holding an open mind and seeing relativity in all things.

which one? a detached attitude toward life, or an "I don't care" attitude? They seem like two different things.

Just be careful they aren't defeatist and unresponsive to their and your needs.
