kamelia: Well I was just wondering cause we don't really have a legally separated status in Macedonia..so until your divorce is final you are legally married..
Which brings me to my next question..
How would you feel about getting seriously involved with someone who is not divorced, but separated
I think that **generally** would not be a good idea.

Barnagie: So question is if people in separation can date? I think if I will be in separation and date with other woman it will be very difficult for me to back to old partner. I'll feel like cheating her on.
Ok, let me give you example of my friend. She was dating this guy who was legally separated from his wife. When the wife found out, she filed for divorce of the basis of adultry, and now he's paying her a crapload in alimony.
arabella: If their profile says they are singleand they are really married, then they are lying and should not have a profile up,
If they are clear in their profile that they are married and NOT LOOKING, they are probably here for the forums and the friends they have here.
Most married folks that I know from the forums are upfront about their situation.
It's the ones that are not upfront and lying that are trouble. JMO
These people are wasting our life time and this is a serious problem. I think everybody must state clear and honest in their profiles who is and what exactly is he/she looking for. A black list with CS liars will help as well.. I don't care about bored married people who doesn't have guts to stop their boring life and sniff around here looking for fun.

Wel no, because i have very good friends on here that are married and helluva people they are and i would miss their company if they left. They state in their profile's that they are not looking and have someone so if someone would read their profile's they should understand that.
arabella: To some people, separated means that their spouse is the kitchen and they are in the den on the computer
I have met a few people like that, Joanie.
Seriously, I'd consider a separation where the parties involved are living in different residences leading clearly separate lives - that is, they don't socialize and they maintain, at most, some basic phone connections where necessary matters (such as financial or children) are discussed. That strikes me as a legitimate form of separation. A separation where the parties continue to see each other socially and discuss the minutiae of their lives is far more dubious, and should constitute a clear warning sign to anyone seeking a romantic relationship with either of them.

Ambrose2007: After reading my profile you thought that I wouldn't be a good idea?
So tell me you have more experience in this than I do
When my marriage fell apart, I felt the need to get the divorce finalized as soon as possible. My question is why wait? Unless you are unsure if you want out..

not going to happen unless CS is checking our background and putting driver's licence pics in our profiles
married or singles - all would present themselves here as they wish/believe/see themselves
sorry! I am in the same boat as you, just realistic.

Me and my wife separated in 1980. Since then I have never spent the night under the same roof as her, see her around town occasionally and I do consider myself as single. although my profile states separated.
Ambrose2007: Is that head-knocking aimed at the latter characterization (what I'd call a "faux separation"), or the whole subject in general, my dear Lush?
The whole subject. I think i may be in some sort of 'situation'. No, not with you.

AND, some folks don't want to spend the money to file for a legal separation. They want to save their pennies to file for a divorce.
I was separated for a year before I was divorced. I lived alone but still had contact with my husband because his shop was in my barn and he was building a new facility at his house where his shop would be located.
