Split from each other
Separated describes things that have been moved apart or kept distinct from each other.
Two people who are separated live apart, especially a married couple no longer cohabiting but not yet divorced: They've been separated for six months.
Separated can also mean divided by category or barrier: The recycling bins kept glass separated from plastic.
A separated shoulder is a joint injury where ligaments tear, pulling bones apart.
