thai for "separated"

[bow]

What is the thai word for "separated" in the sense of being married but not living toghether ?

Please, the word in thai writing.

Of course, I have alraeady looked at various online and paper dictionaries. The problem is that I am not sure which of many words is closest to "not living with your wife/husband".

[KhunBENQ]

a very likely candidate is:

จากกัน

The "sample" text sounds very plausible.

แยกกันอยู่

[bow]

Thank you both

[DA3NDORPHIN3]

แยกกัน is much better

[GarryP]

แยกกัน would indicate they have split up, whereas แยกกันอยู่ would be more indicative of still being married but living apart.

Mai mee, is what the locals would say.

There's even a song about it

Jeep dai, fan chan dtie laow (I can flirt, by boyfriend's dead)

The full statement would be:

Yang mai mi bai anuyart yaek gab fairn deh-wa mai pak dui gahn naan laew

I am not divorced but we have been living apart for a long time now.

Sorry too lazy to write it in Thai.
