Dating while separated?

[Anonymous]

Would you date while you are separated? And/or would you date someone that is separated?

Depends on your definition of separated. If someone’s “taking a break” but technically still committed that’s cheating. If someone’s taking a break as in… They aren’t together anymore but are open to the possibility of trying again later. That’s different… That or opening it back up to the point where you’re just dating again.

Separated can mean a lot of things. But if you’re to the point where you’re wanting to see other people. Don’t waste your time and especially the time of someone else. Call it off… If it is meant to be it will be meant to be later.

No and nooo. Either one is rude.

Why hurt the other person if you're split up you're separated and you want to date somebody or go on a date with somebody. It's just as easy


Could you just get a divorce or break up all the way? Why do you want to bring another person into it and date them? And get caught up in all the drama. Just do the right thing either divorce or break up just because you're separated doesn't give you the. Ticket to go out on a date.
That's more or less cheating

So how do you define “separated” then? What does it mean?

[ohsheeT]

If we were dating. Or married. Anscwe Separated. Your at 1 place am at another.

But if we were having problems, I wouldn't separate. I have to say we have to grow up and figure it out. No because that's what makes you stronger

But if you separate to think about things you don't start dating somebody. You end things first.

It's better to wait until the separation is finalized. Tbh if I could save the first relationship I would (except under certain circumstances), so I wouldn't involve anyone else into my life until the marriage was finished for good. Also, it seems like the only right thing to do.

As in divorce? Separation doesn’t have to be a legal thing in a lot of states.

Life goes on. Why people put their lives on hold for total baloney makes no sense.

[Asker]

So, is this a yes? Life is short? I guess I’m more concerned no one will want to date me since I’m not divorced. Then again, I don’t even know what my intention for dating is.. not to get married (for a long time) that is.

Interesting, I am in this very situation and tbh don't want to but would I? Possibly but then what I want isn't to be separated so there's that.

[Asker]

I’m sorry you are going through it too. I do think part of being separated (for me at least) is to figure out what I want and dating other people may be one way to decide that.

[Shiprex]

Thanks, I understand that and can see the appeal but, for me, the guilt is too high even though I am kinda sure it's too late

[EmmaMary]

Life is far too short as it is... Why waste it.

[Anonymous]

F*** no! And I would not take a partner back who did.

[Asker]

So what does “separated” mean to you then?

[Opinion Owner]

It's over.
I probably should've added that part. I don't do separated. Because if we can't work through whatever it is like to adults, she can keep right on walking. When I say I love you I mean forever. I'm not taking a break from her.

[Asker]

That’s understandable.
