“decouple” already implies separating two connected things, so “from each other” is redundant. Use the transitive verb directly with the object being the connected entities.
×The software module was decoupled.
✓The software module was decoupled from the main framework.
“Decouple” usually requires specifying what the subject is being separated *from*, especially in passive voice. The preposition “from” is needed to complete the meaning.

✓We decided to decouple the engine from the transmission.
“Decouple” is not used with “between”. The correct pattern is “decouple A from B”.

✓The company is trying to distance itself from its bad reputation. / The company is trying to decouple its performance from its past reputation.
“Decouple” is used for separating two interconnected *variables, systems, or concepts*. It is not a general synonym for “distance from” or “disassociate from” in emotional or simple relational contexts. The objects should be logically or functionally linked.
×Let's decouple the meeting into two sessions.
✓Let's split the meeting into two sessions. / Let's separate the meeting into two sessions.

✓They dissolved the partnership. / They decoupled their business strategies.
“Decouple” focuses on separating the *interdependence* of aspects, not on ending a legal or formal entity itself. A partnership is an entity; you decouple the elements *within* a partnership.
