I am currently married but we have not been intimate in a very long time. The situation is that we have decided to live separate personal lives. We live in the same house it is a three story 6 bedroom home. I live in the basement, She lives upstairs. We coparent our kids and manage the household jointly. That is the extent of our relationship. We have made this decision for a few reasons. Primary of those reasons are we feel it is best for the kids. Another reason is financial. We don't fight, we don't argue (actually that is part of our marriage problem is there is no passion or chemistry between us). We have agreed that if one of us finds someone who we want to share our life with we will than make decisions from there.
My question is for the women out there: Would you date someone in my situation (please disregard my profile or picture and judge this purely on the situation)? I would appreciate thought and input on this. Guys don't seem to take much issue when dating her. But it seems women would have a different view on this, am I right?
don't know the laws of your state but my attorney advise against it as it does have an influence on the divorce, it is friendly now but the time you hooked up the friendship might end i would consult an attorney before i hung my sack out for someone to hack off

You are correct. Women, and even men, would have a different view of your situation. To answer your question, no I would not date you because of your circumstances
unless
you have whips and chains hanging in your basement of which you reside........I supply the leathers!

That's all SV? Too easy. Get a pre-leather-tether agreement before you commit...

Yeah, that thought has crossed my mind, of course I have done nothing (yet) that would cause that problem. I don't know how much of difference it would make that she has already "hooked up" a couple of times.
I'm not a woman.. But I would never even think about dating someone that was married, and if I was married and separated or in the process of a divorce, I wouldn't even try to date until it was finalized.......JMO

You say you don't fight nor argue at the present time. Wait until you find someone special and decide to move out and on with your life and watch the fur fly.

i don't think you would actually call lamb skins leather ??
Well living in a Country where you have to be 5 years seperated before you can apply for a divorce, dating while still legally married, though seperated is not an issue. I was 11 years seperated before I divorced and I dated during that time.
Still living under the same roof however to me is a different matter, you are not actually seperated so no I wouldnt date a guy in that situation. To me it reads to much like the 'my wife doesnt understand me' scenario.

It's a good question.
Would I become involved with a person in a situation such as yours?
I cannot stop my feelings, if they are there, there are there.
So the situation separately would present another set of problems that that person and I would deal with. I would have to see had the relationship been taken to a deeper level that there would be some form of motivtion to end the present situation as it would not be ideal.
It's a hard question and one that I cannot just say 'no' to. Because if I had fallen for a man who was in this situation, then my feelings would be directing me along with my head. I would not cut off the situation because of his circumstances. I would deal with the situation as I do most, sort it out and find a means to an end.

There's alot of situations in that last paragraph.
drivenbysound: There's alot of situations in that last paragraph.
Hi driven
There certainly are.
But then if two people are in love, being fearful of a situation and stepping away from it are the way that many people would deal with it because it would seem to be the natural progression.
I think this gentleman has been very honest about his situation, well thought out and well written.
He is seeking for opinions, not judgements and I hope that he receives the former.

As I woman, I wouldn't. You may have an amicable relationship now, but women can be very jealous and territorial and if another woman was to come into the situation it may all blow up. If I was your wife and you brought another woman to my home, even though we are not emotionally attached, I would have a serious problem with it. I also think that your situation could be confusing for the kids. Mommy upstairs and daddy down and then the auntie/uncle whoever.
