pinkdiamond3: dating when separated from marriage


I do not know what separated from marriage means... in my mother tongue expression "separated" is connected with " recycling and environment- friendly" laugh ... so, better not innocent

I would date any person, even separated or married ... once.
Why? Because you never know....

Who already is searching ...
is already with a foot away from his partner. Of course, a lot of people may not decided yet and return.

Meeting once...a good question solve this problem from the begining. You have to find out if will step back or forward.

If we go deeper the analyse we would say that the right person is that one who left his aprtner already five years ago and hormons...have a right level.

Not to meet married or separeted people could be rather a subject of morality rather then else. Being 35-50 years old, married since many years, and unhappy, may be that you need a little support/motivation from outside (not all from outrside of course) to restart your life. Each case should be treated individual. My opinion.

I've done that in the past when I was younger and the world wasn't so crazy. Nowadays, it's much safer and wiser to only date single women, especially those who have been single for some time. Nobody needs the drama of some crazy jealous ex husband or ex boyfriend who can't let go and move on.

no. Separation is not a term under law. Only a decree absolute means the person has closure and is legaly able to move on.
Hence why for international marriages they ask for a copy from divocred ppl. Separation is zippo in law land.


On the emotive side you should also question why the person has not finalised the contract and is now out shopping when they cant exercise the option to purchase;-)
That may be very uncomfortable, revealing and save some parties a lot of pain

Opps, l would not dated a separated man. I was separated and dated. I know my ex was not out of my system. That takes time. Also, l would not date a just divorced man. It takes time to adjust to being single.

I do not want to be around a guy who is on the loose, now set free by separation or divorce.

I am not just pointing the finger at guys, women can be the same way.

I would date if they are if they were still married (but not in a relationship with the ex) but divorce was not final. I am separated and there is no doubt the marriage is over. No reconciliation even if he wanted to. Although we have children so he will be around as he is important part of their life "their dad".

Hi ya, Felix!! NIce pic!

I consider them players, they aren't ready for dating and a relationship. They just got out of one. They say that men will reach out sooner than a women after a relationship or marriage ends. In general, women are different. I think we think more. Men think a differently way, if you know what I mean. Oops, did I write that?

I had dates but they just didn't work out. I was better off with friends to go through my phases.

It's just good to be cautious. Guys can put on a good face, then change it. The ground is not settled until after the divorce.
I know what you mean when it's over for you. I'm glad your ex will be around for your kids. A child needs their dad as much as their Mom.

thanks! nice to see you! I agree. men on the rebound will some times just be looking for a "good time" snd still have ex drama... Fine that is normal but he may not be the best relationship material. It might be best to build a platonic friendship at first

I know I would, hell my ex switched sides, so there is no going back. I think all of you who said no Ex drama, might want to rethink that. Would you date someone with kids who had joint custody? Seems to me you wouldn't date someone with kids. I would date someone with kids, for it is a package deal. I know guys who wont, and they sure missed out. Maybe you don't know the reason they are separated, if the person cares for you, are you going to turn them down? A girlfriend of mine was separated because of what her husband did to her, she started to date this guy, he stood by her even through the divorce. They have been married for 5 years, and have 2 great kids! All I am saying is lack of foresight might be your undoing.

Nope. I date people who are in the same stage of life as I am. Makes it easier for everyone.

Basically means that the relationship is over, and don't live with one another, even though they are de facto married. It's complicated when it comes to Inheritance Law, even though under tax law they can be assessed separately in many jurisdictions.

if she is not free to marry me, or not free to move to my country and live with me due to pending divorce hearings or court proceedings, then I will not date her. I will date a women who does not have such legal restrictions.

I did go through the drama with one. Then another had a 14 year old. He had plenty of drama. The kid didn't want anyone in his life.
So I'll stick to my guns, no separated/divorced men newly free forever.
I'd say my lack of foresight to date either of them was my undoing.

Ditto. No closure no me. If he's zooming from one relationship to the next he can zoom past me. I'd give it 3-5 years post Decree absolute for the dust to settle and for a life to re build, reframe, reflect, recopose and review.

That is wise of you. She will also be going through the phases of getting separated/divorced. She has to adjust to the idea of being separated and then divorced. It's not that easy.

I think guys who are the same situation want to date awhile and not want to get serious.
Women tend to want to date guys not going through the process because they seem to be making up for lost time.
I got dates, but I just wasn't ready.
I decided I was better off doing things with my friends, also finding a group for separated/divorced people. It helped to be able to talk the same language.
