I'll go against the grain here and say, YES I sure would if I were interested enough in them and depending (yes, again "depending") upon their degree of "separation".

Why wouldn't I? ohwell

Would I get heavily involved? Probably not. But, I certainly wouldn't discard a person I was drawn to simply because they were currently separated.

The risk of losing someone to them going back to their spouse is just as great as losing someone you met in a bar (or the internet) going back to an old flame or finding someone new.

What about the moral issue? They are still married.

I'm not talking about risk. I'm talking about morals. Think how would you like it if you caught your wife or husband in bed with anouther.

No... because I don't need the additional drama or a pissed off guy thinking that is his property.

Or worse, because of your involvement... she feels confident and becomes a changed woman... and he notices the change that he had always wanted in her... and now they want to get back together...

It is not worth the headache.
Too many other qualify woman available without the string.

but if they don't even live in the same house...is that going against the morals?


To me it is. They are still married legally and under the eyes of God.

I'm gonna throw in a scenario I'm surprised I didn't see. The problem with dating a "separated" person is that they have not been single long enough in most cases to be serious if they were not the one that left the marriage. They are trying to "replace" someone with you. When they realize you will never be "the ex" you have become what we call a "REBOUND" and that really sucks for the person who tried to make something out of nothing!!If they were the one that left the marriage they usually want to be "FREE" for awhile and "Taste" whats out there.Either way you usually can't keep them so why bother.Unless of course you just want a cheap fling then your gonna get just that.!!!NO THANKS!!! RUNAWAY!!! I've seen this way too many times.I agree with the moral issue too but everyone gets lonely sometimes and can fall for the poor me type.

No. I would wait until I see that we are clear to go. Why? Because the problems that are a part of ending a marriage or relationship need to be healed and done before adding another living human being into it that deep. I don't mind talking about the possibility for later but I would want the person to feel relieved of another person before they start something new with me.

Closure..or however one wants to put it..is important.

I was just curious about this subject.

As usual, folks around here don't fully READ my comments! ohwell

Correct me if I am wrong here, but did I NOT say:

"Would I get heavily involved? Probably not. But, I certainly wouldn't discard a person I was drawn to simply because they were currently separated."

I think that was ME who typed that, was it not?

Believe it or not, I DO have "morals" too, folks.

When I said I wouldn't discount someone I was "attracted" to, I did NOT mean in the sense I wanted to lay her down and cause her to bear my bastard child!

I meant someone I was attracted to as a PERSON, enjoyed her company and wanted to get to know her better is all.

Why would I NOT want to have coffee with this woman, share a meal and catch a movie with her, take a walk in the park with her, actually listen to what is going on in her life at the moment and strategically evaluate my feelings from there?

That's what becoming FRIENDS FIRST is all about, right? Or so I thought. ohwell
