please help me.the different between the action of.SEPARATE and DIVORCE. In relationship..
[i ask that because when you view to the profile of people you can get those words.. please give me the meaning]

separated in the United States usually means living in separate homes but not divorced.

some couples may do this for years before actually going through the legal process of getting a divorce

Ok... I divorced my Kleenex box...
not ever coming back to me...


. I separated from my Kleenex box..

may or may not come back to me...
but still lets me have Kleenex out of the box.... from time to time....
. usually about the time the Kleenex box needs some money....lol

oh yeah.. the divorced Kleenex box..

takes all your money..too... and your ball sack....ok..

this

seperated is seperate lives but not a legal divorce

thanks..some how i get the meaning of separated... but according to that people may continue sharing some fun during separation periond?

thanks

you mean are they still have sex? some couples do that

yes i mean sex... in swahili we say..kukumbushia..
thank you teach me.

some do, and some don't

so because of that... those profile of separation is better to leave them???

Separation is one of those words that has several interpretations and generally it a pretty iffy term.

It may mean one spouse is a way from the computer screen to everything including vanished to parts unknown for years just never bothered to divorce.

Usually it does mean living apart for some period of time but again that can be someone away at a job, in jail, or hospitalized, or one or both are contemplating divorce.

Often one or both will swear affection and sex have stopped and it is just a matter of sorting out the financial assets and child care issues but usually it is because one or the other got caught doing something and the other is considering divorce if the remorse and apology are not sufficient.

Some states actually make couples live separated for a period of time before they can even file for divorce; often this is or at least was related to pregnancy or finding the absent spouse.

Legal separation is usually one partner being assigned temporary basic maintenance, child custody, and a freeze on any mingled funds often with assets being documented and family counseling required but not always.

Divorce is when the marriage is ended by the courts. Many will lie and say they are divorced but they are actually just living separate or pretending they are not in fact still legally married.

its safest to just stay single, to be honest

communication is going to make the difference, if someone is of interest, get to know them and simply ask the situation,,,

duh... that make me crazz..

State of michigan requires 6 months from time of divorce filing to finalization due to children.

Separated means still legally married despite the details.

Not all the time.
The best thing would be to ask...
How long separated?
children involved?
Papers filed?

I have dated separated after having several questions answered, in saying that some still reconcile back together which on one hand is good unless you are one dating said separated person..

ya I don't date a separated man..too many unknowns going on

come to think of it ..I won't date a newly divorced guy either

most just want to get laid or bend your ear all night complaining about the ex wife

^^^^^ This.. If a guy doesn't divorce his wife, to my mind he doesn't want to leave her.
Like someone in here still taking "Kleenex" from the box... to me totally weird that someone could be on a dating-site, looking for love, yet still shag the missus ...
To each his own I guess, but to me, when a relationship is over - as in: we don't want to live together nor build a future together anymore - I want a divorce. If you still want to see each other, but not live together anymore, you have a LAT relationship. Meaning you're not available to date, unless you have an open relationship. But then you're status should say that you are involved.
That's how I see it.

I would never date a man that is still (intimately) involved with his ex.
Nor a newly divorced. Let him find his feet first... I have no interest in being the "rebound woman".

EDIT. want to add to it that it's not a judgment of anyone here, even though I refer to someone... It's just something I've come across a lot online, so despite that short referral I meant it as a general thing.

I can relate to the annoying feeling of someone complaining about their ex. One of my friends does it. Everyday. When I get fed up of it, I make an excuse to leave. I get that she hurt his feelings, but for gods sake, give it a rest. :tired:

so what happen when you engage to ex of someone and all night talks about her or his ex... can you still allow to hear that..?
to me do not like to here that any more. and the time you tell me that you that our relationship is in danger
