<blockquote><blockquote>"[T]he words 'living separate' connote an attitude of mind in the spouses in which they regard themselves as withdrawn from each other."</blockquote></blockquote>
<blockquote>''[https://canlii.ca/t/j7cf0 McDorman v McDorman]'', New Brunswick Supreme Court, 1972:</blockquote>
<blockquote><blockquote>"While the mere living separate and apart of the spouses may not be conclusive of the fact that there has been a permanent breakdown of the marriage, especially in cases where the separation may have been brought about ... by enforced hospitalization ... all of the circumstances accompanying such separation must be considered in determining whether or not it has in fact led to a permanent marriage breakdown."</blockquote></blockquote>
