Wait on divorce or get seriously involved..? ( Archived) (16)

May 15, 2012 9:32 PM CST Wait on divorce or get seriously involved..?
So she has been married for plenty years
Husband addicted to watching sports and drinking beer

Ignoring the kids and not providing lunch or bus fare
Won't cut the lawn and will not repair the broken chair

His love-making will not curl her toes nor unravel her hair
Only a miracle can put back the excitement in the affair

Now turmoil is in the home and separation is near
Wife threatens to leave him before the next election year

On CS profile page her separation-notice is there
She is not yet divorced but is seeking a man to care

She is not going back as love has been replaced with dislike and fear
Please tell me if she is qualified to have a brand new man to share!

Very Profound, but if the marriage is dead, and if either one has a chance to find some happiness.. who are we to judge and pass comment..
Moral of the story... "don't throw rocks at plate glass windows, as it just might be yours"

If they are actually seperated (living apart, in different houses) I dont see a problem with either of them seeking a new love teddybear

In my opinion anyone that does not wait for divorce is not really available for a relationship. Those "In Limbo" folk are well and truely lost!!

This question has come up on here a few times.

It appears that in countries where divorce is easily available and been legal so long its seems to be commonplace peoples attitudes are that someone should be divorced before entering into another relationship.

Divorce was legalised here in 1997, should those people who's marriages failed have remained alone for the rest of their lives?

As it stands you have to have been living apart for 4 years out of the proceeding 5 in order to apply for a divorce here, and I dont think a person should have to remain alone for 5 years if their marriage is over.

I didnt bother divorcing until I was 11 years seperated and certainly didnt stay single all that time either, I only bothered because I was thinking of getting married again, if it hadnt been for that I wouldnt have bothered.

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for widening my perspective on this issue.
I was looking at it from the point of view where I live, and here in California it only takes six months until the divorce is final.

Though I live in Spain, my divorce was done in the UK, (as thats where Im from and where he went back too) We split in 2007, but did not start the divorce proceedings until 3 years later, as we were waiting to sell properties, divorce came through last year, and Ive dated since we have split, I had no intention to get back with him, and cant see why I should stay single until the papers came through...

so as long as you know it over, then why not..

I would say if the person is separated, and split completely - like he is seeing another women, then the separated wife has every right of dating.

It would be different if they were separated and trying to get back together. Or if one was waiting on the others thoughts about staying married or not.

I will add, men did not mind dating me when I was separated.

But now that I am divorced, I do not date a separated men. I have had guys still be in the hurt stage. They are in another place.

So it may be that there are different cases to think about.

I think it is better to avoid it if you can. I think it didn't help me at all to date at that time.
