long distance contact (42)
likeshugs: Do all the women here think all long distance contact is from scammers?
Where I live there are less than a dozen women within 1/2 hour drive. On this site there are only 2 or 3. When I retire in a couple of years I will be relocating. To where? I don't know yet. Suffice it to say I am willing to relocate for the right one. In the meanwhile, I am looking to connect with women who live a long distance away from me. At the moment, my pending divorce is in the hands of my lawyer. Should I just give up? Or is there hope for me?
Thank you.

My advice?
Wait till your divorce is through. And start with a clean slate. Many of the negative energies involved in divorce can find their way into the new relationship which isn't fair on you or her. Why have the negative vibes of your past encroche on your new relationship?
The long distance stuff? It's up to you and her.

Waiting for a divorce before embarking on a new relationship is advisable.... yeah. Sometimes the divorce can take ages, even years, at least here it can anyway. I'm seaparated 7+half years and still no divorce. Should I pass up the possibility of meeting someone just perfect for me just because that piece of paper still exists?

The OP stated "My pending divorce is in the hands of my lawyers ...."
To me that sounds like it's on it's way ...
Each one is free to do as they wish ... and sometimes we have to make do with less than satisfactory situations ... I have no idea why your divorce is not happening, if either of you has actually requested it or if it's being held up by technicalities ...
You should do exactely what works for you Libra

Mine is 'Pending' too, has been for 7+half years. That's just how it works (or not works) here. There are folks separated a lot longer than me who have divorces that are still pending, some 10 years... and more!
Ther is no way I would criticise someone for moving on before the decree absolute.

Wow!!! Must be different in different countries ... Mine took under 2 years and that's because the judges at the Court House had a back log of cases to deal with. Otherwise would have been quicker... I did all the paperwork myself after both going to see a mediator, we just agreed on everything and put it through. No lawyers involved apart from the last bit which had to be presented to the court by a lawyer (but they weren't his or my lawyer, just A LAWYER.
sorry to hear that ... I guess you just have to get on with your life ...

Thats what I have been telling her
In Ireland the laws are a bit archaic. People have to wait at least 4 ? (I think) years before applying.
Brings a different perspective when people say they wont date 'seperated' people

maybe you you also need to know, in Ireland getting divorced is possible at all only since 1995! and at least you have to been seperated for 4 years (in Germany for only 1 year), before the "mills of the law" are only starting to work and that only very slowly

We have to be separated 4 of the previous 5 years before applying. Then the jumping through hoops starts. The quickest Irish divorce I've heard of took just under 7 years.
