the worst period of time in a friendship, relationship etc. When one person wants to dump the other they say that they want distance to get rid of them. Often causes a lot of pain and the feeling of heartbreak.

the (often long & torturous) process of breaking up a relationship.
my husband and i are slowly distancing from each other.
i kept the house and he has a separate apartment. the kids sleep over at his apartment every other weekend, and he takes them to school that Monday. we still go to parent-teacher meetings together, sometimes he picks them up from school if i am busy at work. he is paying the mortgage - i pay the utilities. we haven't started dating other people yet, but we have talked about how to handle it with the kids. we stopped sleeping together. the kids are adjusting OK - the dog seems the most confused.
