So let me get this right she can post her beliefs but I cannot?
You’re more than welcome to post your beliefs. It’s much easier for others to hear them though when they are truly your own beliefs and not reactionary or critical of someone else’s. One person says what they have come to believe, the other makes judgments, which is easier for you to hear and understand? Trolls are a dime a dozen, people who actually have experience are much more interesting to read than attacks and if you think this is an attack, you would be mistaken.
I don’t care if anyone dates a separated person or not, to me, it’s on an individual basis and I don’t paint all people or their situation with the same brush. There are those who will try to understand and those who won’t and it’s been my experience that those who won’t usually fight hardest to confirm there reasons.
Have fun and continue on, it’s your “rule”. | |

Posted: 4/23/2010 9:48:03 PM | Didn't you "paint" me into the moral majority?
As far as a attack I haven't attacked anyone I did point out how one was scolded for her opinion while the one doing the scolding freely gave hers and all the time calming to be open minded.
As I said it is up to the people involved personally I would not do it and the morality of it is just part of the reason.
No hard feelings. | |

Posted: 4/27/2010 4:52:35 AM | Back when I was dating, my reasons for refusing to date separated men had nothing to do with morals, but I do think morals play into it...
1. I know too many people who have made this mistake, only to have the "separated" person go back to their spouse, a couple of times after they'd been separated a year or more!
2. "Separated" means you have nonstop drama with the spouse, whether they are going through a divorce or not.
3. And what's up with those that are the "or nots?" If you are separated why aren't you getting a divorce?
4. I came to find that a lot of times "separated" to some people is code for "We had a fight and I'm staying at my buddys house for a week or so and am looking for some side action...after all, we are "separated!" But when things cool down, I'm going back home.
5. I'm repeating this one because it's the main reason and it bears repeating. No matter how much you say "there's no chance for us to get back together...." There is a high number of people who do just that, even after proclaiming that there's no way, and I wasn't about to be the one left behind when you decide to make it work "for the kids."
Get a divorce, and then you won't have this to whine about. | |

Posted: 4/27/2010 5:43:14 AM | ^^^^ All great points.
I think the best thing you can do for either a guy or girl looking to date someone who is seperated is to keep it as a friendship only. A lot of things can change so do not go into it expecting to much. | |

2. "Separated" means you have nonstop drama with the spouse, whether they are going through a divorce or not.
No, it doesn't. My gf had been seperated for two years when I met her. She had been living 250 miles away from her soon-to-be ex for over a year. The only ``drama'' involved was a couple of phone calls to get the paper work for the divorce done. My gf has never even seen her ex during the time I've been dating her. (I know this for certain. Her ex lives 4-1/2 hours from us and the only time we've gone to Houston to visit her mother, I went with her.) Prior to dating my gf, I'd never even dated a woman who had been married and I've had way more drama with those women.
3. And what's up with those that are the "or nots?" If you are separated why aren't you getting a divorce?
I already gave one good reason.
Basically, your reasons only apply if you make bad decisions about the individual circumstances involved. In my case, absolutely none of your reasons applied to my gf. I am capable of making judgments on a case-by-case basis and don't need a legal document to tell me whether someone is really single. I can think for myself. | |

Posted: 4/27/2010 11:00:33 AM | Abelian, I would guess that "most" people who separate do NOT move 4.5 hours away from their spouse. Of course that "might" make a difference. She clearly doesn't have any kids, or there'd be drama with the ex, unless he's a complete deadbeat.
I haven't read the whole thread, so if you say your girlfriend has a good reason for being separated for two years without getting a divorce, I'll take your word for it.
Someone who has been separated AND living 250 miles away from their ex for two years is going to be more "stable" in her "singleness" than someone who moved out last month. I actually had a guy contact me who had been moved out for 6 days! Now tell me there wouldn't have been some drama associated with THAT one. Not to mention a little dose of my #4 back there. | |

Posted: 4/27/2010 11:07:50 AM | Dating anyone who is separated can have some issues.
So much depends on how long they have been separated, how well they have processed the end of a marriage and what they want moving forward. Have they filed for divorce ( I am huge on that point) ? How long have they been living on their own.
The going back to a spouse can happen, but that can even happen after the divorce is final. Or for people who have ended a live in relationship or just dating.
I am always more concerned about how well that have accepted the end of their marriage and how ready they are for a new relationship.
I rarely date anyone who is separated but if I do I move even slower than normal for me, kind of like molasses running up hill in winter slow. | |

Posted: 4/27/2010 5:57:06 PM | I agree with you, however most they don't even tell that they are separated .
I had one who told me it was all right to be in this site and is nothing wrong for being separeted and dating .
and the reason for not getting divorce not have to worry about getting married again . | |

Posted: 4/27/2010 6:52:58 PM | | I have dated separated man when I was also separated back in 2008. He had been separated longer than I had but my divorce went through long before his did. I felt guilty dating a married man and broke up with him. He eventually got his divorce about 7 to 8 months after I did and he contacted me and to this day we continue to be friends 2 1/2 years later. | |

Posted: 4/28/2010 7:51:53 AM | She clearly doesn't have any kids,
No, she doesn't. But if there are kids, the drama will still be there AFTER getting a divorce. If you factor kids into the picture, I'd think the drama associated with a divorced woman with kids would be greater than a seperated woman without kids. One thing that I didn't like about dating at my age was the fact that if I dated someone with kids, I'd have to be deal with her ex husband because she couldn't just ``move on'' and dispense with him as part of her life.
Someone who has been separated AND living 250 miles away from their ex for two years is going to be more "stable" in her "singleness" than someone who moved out last month.
That was my point. You can't make a blanket statement about issues with dating someone who is seperated. It's one of those things that you have to decide on a case by case basis. My gf could have gotten divorced sooner, but because she would have lost her health insurance, she'd be $40,000.00 in debt for surgery. She wasn't very keen on staying married because she wasn't going to get back together with her husband and her husband's credit was a negative effect on her credit. Remaining married until she had health insurance through her employer was simply the logical thing to do. | |

Posted: 4/30/2010 11:05:27 AM | Dating separated men ( still legally married ) is like playing Russian roullete,you don't know if you are lucky or unlucky to have a good a future with him with no hassles.
I know that there are some women who goes for separated men, to have their adrenalin pump to have a drama life, like the separated wife bother them , fights between husband and wife over her, husband was back with the wife, ect.ect..
Meh, I am not going to waste my life messing up with a separated man, for I don't know how long, we'll be together, and when he is going back to his wife.
Even we can't marry each other for economic reason, I want to see his divorce paper that he is legally single..
PS Separated men in the eyes of the Law ,their wives still has the holds on them legally... | |

Clean up the first mess you made before starting in on another one. | |

| Why women wont date separated men
Posted: 4/30/2010 4:13:33 PM | | I NEVER date men who are "newly" divorced nor those who are separated (not divorced). I don't want to be dragged into the legal mess the divorce might encounter. As the those who are "newly" divorced, I give them time to "sow their wild oats" with other women before I will date them. By the time they have done that for awile, they are seaching for someone with whom to develop a commited relationship (however either of both of us define it.) | |

Posted: 4/30/2010 8:43:36 PM | Being separated for a lengthy time, does that not get some thought. Maybe the woman is not asking the right questions. Or maybe they are to damn ridgid!  | |

Posted: 5/1/2010 8:02:36 AM | Legal status does not have any bearing on what is going on in the heart and mind of an individual.
You can be legally married...and not be committed to the relationship. Ample evidence of this everywhere.
You can be separated....and still be involved in the relationship or freed of it completely.
You can be legally single, and be passionately committed to your beloved.
Legal status does NOT equate to state of mind. You must get to know the person.
Separated people, depending on how difficult the previous relationship may still be dealing with drama and may not have resolved internal conflicts, therefore not be healthy and ready for a new relationship. The amount of time anyone might need to get whole again, will vary. | |

Posted: 5/1/2010 8:44:19 AM | But, there are some single people you can't convince of what you just said that will make them think otherwise.
There are single people who won't date separated people regardless, a single person thinks they're running a risk dating a separated person, because there might be a chance of reconciliation.
Also, if marriage is a state of mind, then why even get married, if being divorced is also a state of mind....why get divorced.
I usually hear, "Marriage is just a piece of paper, I don't need a piece of paper to tell me that I'm married"
But not many mention the reverse....so...is that to say, "I don't need a piece of paper to tell me that I'm divorced"? | |

"Marriage is just a piece of paper, I don't need a piece of paper to tell me that I'm married or a piece of paper that I am divorce.
Well, document papers is nescessity , intangible emotional matters is not acknowdge in civil court, example >> A man is separated from his wife let's say 30 years ,they won't get a divorce because they are Catholic..And this man is living with this woman for blissful 30 years,she gave him her best years, of loving him uncondionally,she took care of him when he become disable ,she even losed all her savings for hospital bills ,to augment his life for no avail. When he passed away even his remain is not hers it went to his legal wife /family,and all his properties.. what the older mistress have is just memories and broke..
""" That piece of paper is important in a person's life."" | |

Posted: 6/27/2010 12:34:00 PM | Many seperated men put "single" as status.
Last time he wrote, his status was seperated. 4 months later he has a new profile, with single as the status.
This guy I know is still seperated, and not planning on getting a divorce because he said it has to do with his wifes medical insurance.
I told him that was fine to remain attached to his ex-wife, but it was not in MY best interest to even correspond further.
Did he think that I would not recognize him? | |
