i am wondering what other people think about dating a lady who tells me that she has seperated from her husband for 2 months now but still lives in the same home as him. personaly it makes me feel a bit strange as i am single and live on my own and im just not sure if this lady is really seperated when they still live together and has no immediate plans of moving out,am i wasting my time?? am i being tricked ,im not sure as i havn,t come across this before in my dating experiences?/
If you can back burner this thing until she's out on her own, I think you should do that. A situation like that can be emotionally charged and downright dangerous. Is it worth it?

It seems to be quite common here in Ireland. Sometimes people are being genuine and have reasons for not being out on their own yet, but mostly, they don't........ and it is just a way of having affairs or open relationships.
If it were me, I'd steer well clear. At best you'd be a rebound relationship, which is not ideal for anyone involved.
People need time on their own, (at least a year in my view), to sort themselves out, before getting into another relationship.

Wow heart... sounds like a tricky situation...
Do what feels right for you...
You're not committed to this woman ...
I created a thread in regards to a situation where a man whom I met online was upfront after some bantering back and forth that he had been seeing a woman for the last couple of months before I originally contacted him. Apparently she lives far away and has children who are a priority with her time... he stated this situation put him in a predicament where he had more free time than he enjoyed. He claimed that in fairness and respect for his new friend he could only offer a friendship... As I respected the fact that he was honest about it I agreed to be an activity friend only (dog walking)... as it turns out we went out on a dogs day out just recently and had a gr8 day... two mature adults... no expectations to complicate things...
She was upfront with you as my activity friend was with me and this honesty is a plus in my book. My point is that so long as ppl are honest with each other regardless of the situation they should be given the benefit of the doubt and not be judged for the honesty they share.
It takes all walks of life and the beauty in any given situation is we ALWAYS have the free will to choose what's right for ourselves.
Whatever you choose in this situation the only thing I will ask you to consider is always listen 100% to your gut instinct to make your decisions in life... From experience I can only state that I have only made my mistakes when I didn't listen to what my gut feeling was telling me in the first place...
Trust yourself to deal with whatever comes and make your free will choices along the way.

Hi I cant speak for your lady but I am in a situation similar.... I have been seperated from my partner who is still my business partner for over 2 years and untill my house is finished we do share 2 properties and sometimes are in the same property at one time ... Although should either one want space and time alone we respect that....I am activly seeking a new relationship but he isn't .... our reason for being in this situation is due to finance and joint ownership of business and property .... other than that we are both single and I tell potential sig other this and it is their choice as to wether it is comfortable for them .... Good luck and do what feels right for YOU

i work with a lady that is seperated but they still live in the same house, seperate bedrooms, and they are both active in dating, not my cup-a. but to each thier own i guess.

What she said and Ginger you don't have to tell me I am handsome
She is in no position to be dating. She has only been separated for two months..she isn't ready..she needs to be on her own and figure out who she is. If you're not looking for someone who is relationship material..then I'd say date her..if you're looking for long term..catch her in a few more months.

if he does catch her in a few more months,he may catch a little something extra...like the clap....
