| Do you feel comfortable dating someone who is seperated Posted: 7/15/2009 2:56:37 PM | | I would be fine with it. If the person is emotionally over it and the process has begun then they are looking to move on with their lives and they should! I would never take my ex spouse back. I have not seen nor spoke to him in almost a year. It only isn't final as the paper work is not all in yet but that is not in my control. Unfortunately in my area courts are backed up and things like this can take 2-5 years to finalize. No one I date will become a part of this as it has nothing to do with them. If someone is truly done with something they will not go back under any circumstances. If they are not done then they really shouldn't be here as it is not fair to other people, and it is things like that which leads to fear on the issue of separated and not divorced. I say ask the person it's pretty obvious if something is done or someone is emotionally ready to be with someone else and will be discovered through conversation. | |

| Do you feel comfortable dating someone who is seperated Posted: 7/15/2009 2:59:44 PM | | why do you have to wait until they have the papers in their hand saying they are divorced? I have been separated for over 4 years now. Never had a problem with that. Right now I just can't afford a divorce that's all. So what's the difference? | |

| Do you feel comfortable dating someone who is seperated Posted: 7/18/2009 2:18:32 AM | | I've dated while separated and dated a man who was only separated. It collapsed eventually though, partly because inspite of the fact that they'd been separated 3 years when I met him and we were basically in a relationship for 9 mths he still wouldn't even contemplate getting a divorce. He also still came to his wife's rescue occassionally. I wouldn't rule it out completely but I'd give it considerable thought. | |

| Do you feel comfortable dating someone who is seperated Posted: 8/9/2009 12:48:23 PM | {Anyone can go back to an ex, even years later - ever heard of looking up an old high school date and getting back together? It happens. Generalizations can be useful starting points, but applying them thoughtlessly and indiscriminately is stupid.}
I have to agree. It has happen to me twice and neither were separated. One had been divorced 4 years. It was luckily after a first meet and I wasn't that keen anyway. One went back to an ex girlfriend. That was luckily only after I'd been dating him for 3 wks. I dated someone for 9 months who at that point had been separated 3 years, even after 9 months together he saw no point in getting divorced. I'd have to think about it, but I wouldn't rule it out completely. I've dated again within a couple of months of leaving my husband but the relationship was dead long before I went. He meant nothing to me. | |

| Do you feel comfortable dating someone who is seperated Posted: 9/3/2009 12:55:47 AM | I won't be comfortable dating a separated person,for he is still married legally.. and I don't have fear on their going back together,my fear is for some reason the spouse attack the third person, that mostly innocent, and not their spouses who is the culprit,they maybe separated but the wife or husband still thinks they still have a hold on their spouses... I won't take a chance on that..
When I was a young woman I was attacked by a woman , that I was having an affair with her husband it was a mistaken identity, I almost killed her for throwing her down smacking her face on the concrete ( I know a little karate) That scared the shyt of me for stupidity..I don't even know her husband... | |
