Haveing been seperated for three years... it has been a long and difficult process to finalise everything to complete the divorce.
I think that it is important not to lead others on, while being very honest about your true feelings towards your ex, expecially if you think that there is a chance that you may reconcile...

If you have been separated for over 2 years I doubt that your planning on a reconciliation But, I agree that it is best to be up front and honest when active seeking a relationship and explain the situation as no two separations are the same.

Yes! depending on the understanding you have with your ex to be....In some countries divorce papers takes ages..its going to happen any way, and if you are honest to tell your new b/f the situation....dont see any problem in it...
sxc666: No it is not..............if your separated....................your seperated..............you don't and shouldn't need them paper to prove that.
I like the way you think!!
It's all about transparency and honesty!! Don't deceive and lead others on. Love is the most powerful force in the universe, no piece of paper or bad spouse is going to stop it!!
IMO I feel like you need to be divorced, and it is wrong to date, not because you might get back together... But when you start seeing someone else, and a relationship starts and it finally does start to happen,(divorce) then someone else in involved. Then they watch all this drama unravel and see you go through this...That chapter in your life needs to be finished before you start another one...like I said, JMO

I completely agree with you too!! That is why I don't date!
But, when the right one comes along and your in love, there is nothing that's going to stop it. You can't choose when that will happen. So, if it does happen and it's unavoidable, then the best you can do is not drag the poor loved one through your(separated or married person's) mud!! Sometimes you do what you can with the cards you have at hand. Things are never simply right and wrong or black and white. But I don't blame anyone for avoiding separated or married people!!
Yes - as long as you're honest about your circumstances (ie separated but not (yet) divorced - fine. Life is full of twists and surprises - live in the moment, not on what might be or what could happen. Yes, they might go back to their ex (and they still might do this even after a divorce - look at Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor!!), or you might decide in a few months time this person isn't for you after all, or they (or you) might run off with someone else altogether, or a plane might fall out of the sky onto your head and it becomes irrelevant who's dating who. The future can't be predicted or fixed.
Be honest, don't deceive or intentionally hurt anyone - and enjoy the moment.
"The course of true love never did run smooth..." - there are going to be bumps along the way whatever - and there's nothing you can do to stop that - so enjoy the good bits, and be prepared to hang onto your hat for the rough bits!
if u think that your relation is no chance to reconcile again,then u decide the best,just be honest to the man u wanna date to tell the situation u have..
