To separate may be said of things which are only remotely connected. We separate things which directly meet in no point

Things may be divided by anything which distinguishes the parts from one another; they are separated by disjunction of space only. We divide our land into distinct fields for our private convenience; or we divide a sum of money into so many parts, in order to distribute it among a given number of persons.
To share is to make into parts, the same as divide, and it is to give those parts to some persons; a loaf is divided in order to be eaten, the loaf is shared by a poor man with his poorer neighbor, or the profits of a business are shared by the partners.
To share may imply either to give or to receive; we share our own with another, or another shares what we have. (Crabb’s English Synonyms)
