Yep. I was separated from 2006-2010, got legally divorced in 2010 - very little contact with XW1 those four years (she was going through multiple affairs).
W only lived with her XH about 6 months of the last four years they were legally married with not much contact.
I always said we got really good at being alone (neither of us dated during that time), just never learned how to have a good relationship maybe!
