I have a question...why do men not want to date women that are seperated, when a divorce is inevitable? I need love too sad
Any advise would be helpful...Thanks
here is a question for you

why do you want to date while you are separated

do you know this can cause major problems in your divorse and if there are children involved what example are you showing them

and legally he/she can scew your dating info and you loose any chance of custody of your children

and who wants to potentially get involved in someone else messy divorse seen and face angry ex-spouses

The law in NC is waiting 1 year for a divorce. I never said all men...in general , I just said why do men..meaning the men that I have been in contact with so far - which isn't that many. Am I suppose to sit at home for a year?? without any opposite sex contact...even if it is just a buddy to hang out with.


In my opinion... yes. That year would be a good time to get yourself ready for a new relationship and mourn the loss of your marriage. I would NEVER date anyone who had been divorced less than a year. So if I was a guy... you got two years of waiting from me.

ok, for one....my children are grown and have families of their own...for two...they were not by my previous ass of a husband. I did not say anything about having sex with anyone before my divorce is final. I just want a friend of the opposite sex to do things with...going to movies..dance..etc. Then AFTER my divorce maybe it could lead to something more serious.

So was your question rhetorical, then?

Seperation leaves an opportunity for the marriage to be reconciled. Divorce makes the seperation permenant and official. IMO

I would not date someone who is seperated because the fact that they are seperated and not divorced tells me they may be trying to work things out. I wouldn't want to get in the way of a marrige being rekindled or anything.

Divorce tells me that the seperation is final, and there's no more working out the marriage, it's gone.

Use the time wisely. I was seperated for over a year and waited months more after the divorce was final to even date. I used that time to be with my friends, my family, and heal myself. I was never lonely or alone. That is in YOU.

That was just a joke to lighten the mood, I am not serious about that. I love myself and I do know who I am.

I think you are missing all the points here. You can not be ready for another relationship... that might lead to something more. If you are feeling like you need something more, that comes from within you.

I have a better question.
why do we like to generalize?
why don't we use the word "some" when we make this kind of questions?


Because everyone generalizes.laugh

Agreed Lilith. I felt the same way. Still do. smokin And all the divorced friends I had got back into relationships way too fast. They all ended up with broken hearts or even another broken marriage.

Some actually told me they sooo wished they'd waited like I did. Yep. True be that. :wink:
