There are many men and women who have a rule when it comes to dating someone who is separated but not divorced yet: they won't do it.
But each person has to decide what is right for him or her.
Here are four reasons people steer clear from dating someone who is not divorced yet and the flip🔅side-
1. The person isn't emotionally ready to get into a relationship.
🔅 Theres a big difference between dating a person who is RECENTLY separated (two months ago and their soon-to-be ex just moved out last week), and a person who has been separated and living apart from his or her ex for two years.
2. The person might still be living with their soon-to-be ex.
🔅 If the couple is still in the same house, I think I'd have a problem with that.
3. The fear that the since the couple isn't officially divorced, they might end up getting back together.
🔅 This is the worst reason NOT to date someone who isn't officially divorced yet. Why? Because ANY COUPLE can get back together at any time.
4. The person hasn't gone through those feelings you go through when your divorce is final.
🔅 For most people, by the time their divorce is final, they've been checked out for so long, that the only thing they feel is relief, finality and perhaps a little sadness, which lasts for about a day and a half.
If you are dating someone who isn't divorced yet-
Trust your gut. Be honest with yourself. Communicate with the person.
