well i managed to figure out what the problem was. Im posting what was wrong here so that if by some odd chance anyone has the same problem I did and comes here looking for help that they might be able to see a possible fix.

I have no clue why, but for some reason my CV curve tool was set to "1 Linear" I Changed the setting to "3 Cubic" and redrew the cuve, and then was able to detach the curves without any further problems. Really wish i would have thought to mess with that sooner!
