==What does it mean to be separated for a year?== | |||
Separation usually means living in separate places. However, some couples can be separated even though they continue to live in the same home, as long as the marriage-like quality and intimacy of their relationship has ended. For example they no longer, sleep together, do chores for each other, go to family events together as a couple and so on. | Separation usually means living in separate places.
