	Clive  +  397005 Thu, 26 Jul 07 04:16 PM 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.

	whl626  +  397185 Fri, 27 Jul 07 03:32 AM 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. whl626

	Clive  +  397211 Fri, 27 Jul 07 06:57 AM Hi, She has left him. They are not together any more. They have broken up. Clive Clive
