Can I ask those who say that seperated is still married, what about if divorce wasnt available in the Country you live? As it wasnt here prior to 1997.
As I stated previously, you have to be seperated 5 years before you can apply for divorce here, should people put there lives on hold for that length of time? I do agree with having to wait that amount of time, in far to many countries a divorce is far to easy to obtain.
Many times on here I have seen people say that marrige is only a piece of paper and doesnt matter if two people love each other, couldnt divorce be seen the same way?

Well of course you're entitled to your opinion.
But do you really go round checking out separated people?

Separated don't feel right with me. I'd feel a part of this guy was still with his ex no matter how long it took him to legal fill out papers. Filling out those papers tells me he actually would want to go forward and wants a relationship with me!!!

hoolet: Rather than dwelling on the legal or not legally separated part - I would be more interested in whether or not the person was emotionally separated from the "ex".
I totally agree with your statement.
But the best is to have no legal ties too.

I date one guy who has been separated for 8 yrs. He has no idea where his wife is. She took off to the States with some dude and he hasnt heard from her since. I guess in a perfect world eveything would be ...well perfect, sadly thats rarely the way it goes. So we have to deal with what is real

When I got separated, I knew I'd never go back with my ex. When we split because he had cheated, I was very happy when I was in my own apt.
But the separation took forever and was time consuming. I did allow time to get use to my new life.
I didn't have a problem finding a date. But guys seemed to be just after one thing.
Now that I have been divorced 1 1/2 years, I did go out with 2 separated men. They were over their wifes but just dealing with alot of stress.
Now, I will not date a separated guy. I do not want to go through the ups and downs he is going through to get a divorce. Also, I do not want to be the first female he's been with since being separated. I would not see it becoming a bit serious. This guy needs the freedom to date, not get serious again.

That is a fair question and there is a solution. You must not file for a divorce in your country. You can file in another country, even if both are not citizens or residents of the country where you file.
I could, for example, have gotten married in Germany, resided in the US all my life and filed for divorce in the Dominican Republic (takes two weeks or so to divorce) and then submit the papers for recognition in Germany because they recognize divorce in the Dom Rep. In the US, Dom Rep divorces are recognized in some states, not in others. So I'd file for recognition in Germany. It's a rubber stamp process. Then I'd send the recognition from Germany to the US if that is where I'd want to live. If I wanted to remarry, I'd remarry in the country where the divorce is recognized and that's it. Case closed. See. You just have to do a little homework how to circumvent these unnecessarily harsh rules like they have them in Ireland.
(The Dom Rep happens to be a quickie divorce haven, sort of like Denmark or Italy is for marriages). Less papers, no bureaucratic nonsense. There are other places that lend themselves to accomodate different situations (financial/tax consequences). Just used Dom Rep as an example.
