[quote=Anonymous]Ooh boy.  So, I have been divorced and on the dating market.  I had some women turn me down because I was "just separated" even though we'd been apart a while and were holding off for insurance reasons on the final papers.  Whatever, ok, it's a dealbreaker for some.

I also found that some people who weren't long enough out of their last relationship (and I include myself in this, at another time, not my divorce) were still processing issues from that.  I had a couple of awkward dates with a widow (late 30s, had been widowed for >8 years).  Still kinda had issues about him.  Rebounding happens - it happened to me once and I met a couple of of women who were clearly rebounding (I still had fun hanging out with them and the sex was good).

So, if it's only months since his separation, and you've taken steps to verify he's not still living with her, then you can go right ahead, but don't count on it lasting.  Take it as a fun fling, don't introduce your kids or meet his, and enjoy yourself.  If you find yourselves still hanging out six months after his divorce is final, then sure, start considering it something serious.  [/quote]
