[quote=Anonymous]Although I agree that what everyone is talking about occurs most of the time, I happen to have one of the exceptions.

I started dating my wife when she and her ex had been separated for almost 18 months, and had filed for divorce.  Their marriage had been dead for about 3 years before she moved out.  In that time, not only were they just living like roommates (the no sex part), but they were also leading mostly independent lives.  They didn't see each other much as they worked, then had their own evening and weekend activities.  They only saw each other a few times a week.  She finally moved out and they really didn't see/talk to each other much.  By the time I met her, they had been going solo for almost 5 years and really, both had moved on.  The divorce took a while because they were trying to work things out with lawyers and agreeing on dividing things up and so on and it dragged on for a while.  I started dating her about the same time he started dating a new girlfriend.  3 years later, they got married about 3 months before we got married.  19 years later, we have two kids and are quite happy together and stable.  They are still happily married.  He and I work at the same large institution (I see him about once every 5-6 years like at the cafeteria or something, but otherwise don't see each other).

In my situation, they really had both moved on by the time she moved out of the house and the 18 months while they were separated, only helped them get over the dissolution of their marriage.[/quote]
