[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone married should be off limits period. If they are going through the divorce or separated you simply say, "Ok great, give me a call when you're single and divorced".

That’s pretty harsh. [/quote]

Why? I’ve not met one person who is separated/going through divorce who doesn’t have a ton of emotional baggage and/or ex drama. I’m sure there’s the rare 100% amicable divorce with no issues, but I don’t think it’s common. [/quote]

That’s the EXACT time you need a boyfriend or girlfriend. [/quote]

PSA:

No, you do not need a BF/GF.  BF/GF implies that you are ready for some level of commitent. It means you are ready to put another person’s needs before your own to some extent.

When you are divorcing, you need a FWB - someone you can hang out with and do some activities with and sleep with, NSA.  You can negotiate a FWB that is mongamous for sex, but free to date and end the FWB at any time.  OR you need to date around a lot and sleep with other people.

The last thing you need is to jump into another relationship when you haven’t yet ended the one you’re in and definitely haven’t figured out and taken responsibility for its dissolution.

Maybe, possibly, not all people or relationships are the same.  But good for you for having all the answers.[/quote]

A FWB is a relationship.  Cohabiting divorced couples need FWB, not bf/gig. The latter implys a level of commitment and responsibility,  neither of which a cohabiting divorced person can give someone.

BS.  A relationship is a relationship.  You can't characterize something like that as FWB.  What if it is exclusive? And you care about the other person?  Just because some people are in a couple, married or not, doesn't necessarily mean there relationship is any better than someone who is dating on a committed basis, a gf/bf, even while still cohabitating.

Indeed, looking at all the affairs and terrible marriages, including those with angry wives whose husbands are useless, the type of gf/bf while one is still in home but separated, may be the best relationship - they have to prove their value every day, none of this sitting around watching football, who takes care of kids more, poison.[/quote]
