If yo live in ireland like me and it takes 4 years of seperation before you can file for divorce which could then take any length depending on how amicable the split was then are you to wait all this time before you date. I think not.
I think its ok for those who live in a jurisdiction where it is as easy to divorce as it is to marry but dont judge us who cannot with a similar set of morals.
Even if you are separated for a year you should not be out dating others. If you decide to separate without a desire to work things out then beginning divorce proceedings are in order.
This stuff is all new to me. Now, assume the person is 100,000,000,000,000% sure they will not go back to their ex! All possibilities have been tried, there is no love, trust, affection, or confidence left, just respect as a human being. If your separated and living separately with the divorce process started, is it OK to date?

When my ex said she wanted to separate for one year I climbed in my truck and said adios and that was that.

sweet_saucy2008: My ex did not get the chance to separate. I had him served with papers instead. Then I left.
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. There's two sides to every story in a divorce and it seems that all the friends and relatives get a different version but in the long run only two people involved know the real truth.

Ya know though that even the real truth between the two people will remain shaded.
hello2you: a lot of people now days are seperated from married but not devorced yet what are everyones feeling on this
For me when people decided to divorce, have separated and are just awaiting for papers to get through the official channels, means that they a single de facto.
If you at once tell your date about your situation, what can be wrong with that? And then it’s his decision whether he would trust you or not. And it may be a good think to tell your de jure husband the very same – sometimes it can speed up the divorce procedure.
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!![/quote]
Well! Unfortunately most of Goverments are think differently. The are able not to let you get married to someone you love as long as you are not divorced.
But i do agree on "Love is the most powerful force in the universe"
Well, I'm seperated, but I know that there is no way my husband is ever gonna sign divorce papers. It was hard enough leaving him with the kids, that almost didn't happen due to the nature of the relationship.
I don't like the idea of being judged because I would like to see what's out there for me just because I'm married. People really think I'm cheating? What a horrible thought. I was faithful in every aspect of my marriage, but now we're seperated, the chances of getting back together would take an act of GOD, and now I see there are people who wouldn't even give me a second glance because of it. How discouraging.
I have to agree with you. I think that you know when it's done!! There's no paper that can ever end it for you. As long as you don't go back and forth then it's okay. I was in this situation and knew I would never go back to my ex. So I have to agree.

The only reason it would go back and forth is because it would be me that went back..... until it happened the next time, that she got itchy legs....
You think I want to put my children through that pain again.... it's bad enough the first time...... and you think I want to go through all that !!
We are seperated.... pending a divorce...... FULL STOP !!!
Many married men and women have affairs and would never admit they are still emotionally involved with thier partners..... those of us that come on a website and say we are seprated are probably being far more honest than many !!
If they are saying they are seperated, surely that is better than lieing ?
Whether they are emotionally involved or not they are still married. At least if they come out and say they are still married but seperated that is better thn not saying anything at all about it.

Englishman55, I would try not to worry to much about it. As long as you are honest and sincere with people, you are not cheating anyone and the choice is theirs. Deception and dishonesty is the problem!
dorry i have to disagree with you ther i think by having kids around then it makes them think that how a realtionship should be. if you are agruging around the kids and unhappy where your at i think its best you you and the kids hate that excuss sorry
