[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prompted by seeing that Brittany Snow's husband is engaged just 5 months after their divorce.

Have known a few people IRL like this as well, including a guy who was married for 10+ years (no kids though) who started dating his now wife during the separation period, and then they were engaged in less than a year after the divorce.

I just could never marry someone in that situation. I don't care how much they tell me that it was a "dead marriage" and they should have divorced long ago blah blah blah, it's way too fast. How do you commit your entire life to someone who already committed their entire life to someone else and only left that person 5 months ago? What the heck?[/quote]

Your example is a terrible one - they didn't have kids, they started dating during separation, which happens before the divorce, and they were engaged less than a year after the divorce was final - that all makes perfect sense, they dated for about a year all told and they were older and knew what they wanted/needed.

By the time people get divorced, and frankly even by the time they officially separate, they can be totally done and over the marriage, especially when they weren't kids. Using the date someone divorced is kind of useless, that's 6-12 months minimum from the date of separation, which isn't generally the first day something went wrong...[/quote]
