Hi,

Just in terms of tense, you'd need to say 'she is away from me' rather than "she is being away from me".

But really, it depends on what your meaning is.

Best wishes, Clive

Clive, the poster might be an Asian. What he wanted to say is most probably what I already responded.

Hi whl626

Sorry, but I don't understand your sentence either. Can you elaborate? Way over what?

Ooops, I thought this was a common sentence used among native speakers to mean a couple has broken apart. The relationship is over, it no longer exists. Either one is gone.

Hi,

She has left him.

They are not together any more.

They have broken up.

No, 'away' isn't used to describe a couple that are no longer together.

Clive's suggestions are the most common phrases for this.

And we sit here, with the original anonymous poster never coming back to clarify his or her meaning.

Now we'll never know if he meant "She left me." "She is being so emotionally distant." or "She's visiting her mother in Detroit."
