Lots of people probably would, and that’s their choice. Me? No.
Straight up married? HELL to the FU** NO. If a married person wanted to date me I’d recommend counseling to them and maybe block their # etc.
Separated? No. Why? Things changed. Even people who are separated get back together. I won’t be that guy who aids in ending a marriage.
Even if everything is finished, people need time to process and move on. I wouldn’t date anyone until they had been single again for at least as year or two (dep on many factors).
Yes, I’m fairly traditional. Yes, I *try* to live an honorable life.

For what it might matter, I married at 22 and divorced at 27. Was separated for about 1 1/2 years. Didn’t date during that time. Didn’t date until 2-3 years after divorce was done. Haven’t dated since (8+ years), since I realized that I’m a piece of work and didn’t have my $#it together.

+1 yNo I would not.
i have but at the time was not aware of it.
luckily I have good friends that look out for me. They found out she was married and she was told to sort her life out.
there is one only caveat where they were getting divorced and we really clicked (not just a little bit), then I would consider it.11 Reply- +1 y
You did the right thing

+1 yNO! Never! It’s seriously my one major thing… fidelity vs. infinitely. If your wife doesn’t understand you, file for a divorce, and when it’s finalized… THEN we can talk about dating. But a man who will cheat on his wife, will damn sure eventually cheat on you! So how could you ever trust him? And if you don’t trust someone, how can you love them? Love and trust go hand in hand! It’s just a ridiculous proposition and doomed to fail from the very beginning! Cheaters cheat… it’s just what they do! Neither you, nor I are anything so special that he’ll/she’ll will never cheat again!

That’s fantastic, truly, I couldn’t agree with you more. thanks 🙏
+1 yNo absolutely not!! Anyone that would date while they're still married don't sound like someone that respects commitment of fidelity, so double deal breaker.. And while I'm not certain if I want a husband I'm certain I don't want someone else's husband...

I'm not dating anyone as long as there is any chance for them to reconcile. I don't want to be blamed for the divorce, and I don't want to blame myself for a couple not reconciling.

That makes sense
I am curious for the ones saying no, if that includes poly relationships where both spouses are fully aware of the other relationship and are fine with it.
Anyway, I am that married one who also dates. Generally if things get to a dating phase they end up meeting my wife too. If they click then it becomes all three of us dating, if not, then it's just me dating both. If she hates them then I dont date them. Pretty simple.
I don't love my wife any less. I don't question my loyalty to her. She doesn't question mine to hers either.30 Replyhell no. not even if they filed for divorce. Only if they had it finalized and the reason for leaving was because her husband was as cheater, abuser, or threatened her life. And like i said that's AFTER and with clear intentions known. Still would not pursue till I knew for sure.

Yes, As Long as We could keep it completely confidential between us. Understand that Humans have biological bodies with natural needs which in some cases are not met withing the boundaries of marriage. Sometimes, despite the modern social norms and strict regulations, Humans are Humans with Primal Tendencies. It's also Human Nature of getting satisfaction by risking on the forbidden. Humans are Humans.

+1 yHell no. I remember when I was younger and a woman asked me if I ever slept with a married woman (as if it’s something to be proud of). I would never want such done to me. I’ve slept with many women, but none ever in a relationship, engaged or married. It’s messed up. I sin enough as it is.

+1 yNo, I would not. I can't imagine this happening. My elderly cousin dated a guy for 12 years did not know he was married and what puzzles me. She still uses his last name but I think people need to do background checks on people before even dating them.

Check the dates of the conversations. it reminded me of you and I texted. it is sad seeing you blocked me, I am not angry with you tho ;)
I was going to close this account. I wanted to hear you before that. I was not angry even you seemed different when I asked how you have been. I smiled and texted you.
i made this account to talk to you like 2 days after leaving my account. still I felt it is better to not talk to you.01 Reply- +1 y
Don't worry, I am not angry. That is why I left you without sayin anything. If you could do these to me I didn't see any reason to talk to you. It was my fault to even text you after more than a month.
