We explain why separations can sometimes take years, and often happen privately long before they become public.
It's been a big couple of weeks for celebrity splits, with Jada Pinkett Smith and Meryl Streep revealing they have been separated from their husbands for quite some time.
She says in some scenarios it might be easier for couples to co-parent under the same roof — or finances might mean living apart is not possible. As well as children and financial considerations, Ms Poynten says there may be religious reasons people take their time with a break-up.A separation can also be a chance for couples to trial being single before deciding with certainty to end the relationship.
A trial separation, Ms Dober says, can be a great way to help people move into the next chapter without feeling rushed. She says it can also be a difficult process for loved ones, and the couple may not be in a place to support that.
