Pun unintended here, but there are varying degrees of "separation" in personal identification. This I found from the years of playing in the personal ad sites online. "Separated" can mean anything from "I'm thinking about leaving my wife, or she's thinking about leaving me, and I just want to see what's available out there after all these years of being off the market" to, as a few have said here, of living completely saparate lives, finalization by the courts are imminent, and the parties involved just want to move on. Only the latter really has potential for a healthy relationship, because they usually have worked through more of the baggage that naturally occurs and are more adjusted to true "single" life. I almost always refused (nicely) to get involved with someone who said they were "separated", because they seemed to dive head first into the relationships at the beginning, enthusiastically checking off the items on their list of all their wants and needs for this new partner they were going to have that was going to be the antithesis of the soon-to-be-ex. They'd squeal to find out I was a redhead....omg, a redhead! So excited to find someone who liked the same music and restaurants and omg, who liked SEX....yeeeee haw! Jackpot!!!! lol Then, they'd see your photo and you could just hear the lead whistle out of their pencil.....but.....you're just ordinary, I was picturing a supermodel. And they invariably, oops, just remembered they have obligations to their kids to take care of or they're going out of town on business and they'll call you........right.
