Dating

Would you consider dating someone who was separated and/ or in the process of getting a divorce? Obviously this is a tricky situation and you need to think long and hard before you proceed with your decision.

Legally the person that you want and their spouse are still married. It’s complicated enough, maybe so much so that you throwing yourself into the mix may not be such a good idea. While the possibility of them getting back together isn’t likely, the option is still there especially if they’re still legally married. Ending a marriage is a huge decision so some may choose to stay and work through it…and that leaves you in the dust. Remember that the person you want has no commitment to you, they do however have a commitment to their spouce.

Your best bet may be to just back off and stay friends only with this person until the ink dries (fully) on the divorce papers. You may even want to wait awhile after that. Ending a marriage is draining and the persons heart may not be in the right place for them to jump into another relationship. Before you rush into what it is that you want, consider where the other person is as well. If you really are interested in this person, you definitely don’t want to be considered a rebound and chucked to the curb a few months later. Take your time and let things develop when everything else settles down.
