emotional separation is easier when there is also physical separation. technically you can accomplish emotional separation under the same roof, plenty of couples actually do this for the sake of the children or for financial reasons, but it's probably harder that way.
separation also helps you assess your position on the various issues that triggered it. kind of like when someone decides to go for a walk or a drive to 'cool off' after an argument.
