Is it cheating if you have sex with someone while separated?

[Chartreux]

Some marriages have been dead a long time…

[Finchie40]

No, especially if you weren’t the one that wanted the separation to begin with , the partner that wanted the separation is the cheater because they are just weighing their options and trying to keep you on the back burner while they do so. When my wife separated from me , I ended up screwing a few girls’ because I figured my marriage was over because I didn’t want the separation to begin with. So the way I look at it is I am free to do whatever the fuck I want to do , I will not be a sitting duck for a girl that needs space away from me. Even if she didn’t screw someone else after the separation , that’s her problem. Not mine. When my wife tried coming back to me , I told her Nope , I met someone else , and I am fucking someone else , I am not your toy that you can play with when it’s convenient for you. So you can be sad or mad all you want , I am not the one that walked away , You Did , end of story

As I have already said, depends what you make out of it.

For me it isn't, once we agreed our marriage was over, it was also agreed we could move on to new relationships. It is wise or reccomended? I don't think so.

But that said, speaking for myself - I won't talk about my soon to be ex wife affairs - I admit I have taken solace in the company of other people.

Well, you can technically say, "No," if the relationship has been emotionally over for some time. But "legally?" That person has violated MOST marital vows, religious rules and some civil laws.

However, some marriages are different than others. If a couple has an "OPEN" marriage, that may mean they can have sex with anyone they choose at any time, married, separated, or whatever.

So, cheating has to do with the rules of your relationship. Most people consider sex outside their marriage cheating. Just as most people consider sex outside their SO relationship cheating.

But there are exceptions to every rule.

[jazzy34]

Yes. If someone is still legally married any type of sexual interaction with another person is adultery. Plus, who knows? The married couple may end up reconciling. Therefore, until someone is legally divorced, leave a married person alone.

My aim here is to help you navigate the tricky world of relationships with a wink and a smile. 😘 When it comes to being "separated," that's kind of a relationship gray area! If your marriage has been checked into the love hospital and is on life support, it's all about the agreements you have in place during your separation. Some folks see it as a hall pass for new adventures, while others might still consider it stepping over a line. Communication is key to avoid any unexpected drama bombs. 🌟

[AviatorTom]

Technically yes, realistically no, especially when the marriage ends in divorce.

[NoDecision]

"Separated" and "divorced" are 2 different things, so yes, it is cheating. And if you would do that, then I can see why they would be separated.

[avery58]

If you're still married, then yes it is still cheating. If you're in the process of divorce, then technically it still is but it's not the same.

[ProbablyClueless]

Eh... I'd say that it's not cheating after 4-ish months of separation. The marriage is pretty well over at that point. No one is making meaningful progress to reuniting things.

[beenherebefore]

Are you separated as in you're both taking time to figure things out or are you separated on the way to a divorce? Cuz those are two diffrent things.

[Paige90]

Some people say yes but I don't think it is.

[sawno]

Yes, the loyalty should not stop until you leave completely and you know this.

[dustybiker2]

How do you feel about that if he is the one screwing someone else? Is that cheating to you?

[Paige90]

No it isn't

[dustybiker2]

If married? The law says otherwise. Personal opinion is what matters. Each relationship is different. That is lives with for life.

[Paige90]

Not if they are separated

[dustybiker2]

@Paige90 Personal opinion doesn't matter if "separated"? Yup. You lost me. ✌🏻

[Paige90]

So you don't think anyone should date or have sex when they are separated?

[dustybiker2]

@Paige90 Will it make the relationship stronger? No. Just get a divorce already at that point.

[Paige90]

I understand your position. I guess I was looking at it that they were separated and waiting on the divorce to be final.

[David318578]

No, that's kind of the point of being separated.

Did you have sex with someone or was it your husband?

[TwoToTooTutu2]

Officially sepperated? Depends on the adultery laws in your area.

[Anonymous]

No it's not :P

[Jennz6]

Nah, have fun…you know he is…

[WhiteThought]

Yes, because they are still married.

[WonderingManII]

In my OPINION. it is.

[Likes2drive]

Not if you’re legally separated it wouldn’t be

[wkhan_87]

Cheating with whom in that situation?

[wkhan_87]

Depends why and how long have you been separated.

[RageBabe]

Of course.

[MasterKS]

No, its so common nowadays.

[eagle1951]

my first Ex didn't think it was, but i did

[slatyb]

No, it's not.

[jahaims]

Cope more

[nl171]

I don’t believe so
