[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It matters the reason she has not completed the process. There are very practical economic reasons to stay legally married. [/quote]

But what are the practical reasons for lying about it?

Unless you’re in a state where legal separation is recognized, you’re married or you’re not.  Some people are fine dating during that period of separation, but not everyone is comfortable dating someone who is still legally married.  [b]Giving someone the chance to decide for themselves is the decent, honest thing to do.[/b]  There may be a very good reason for delay, which can be explained sooner than later. If it’s a person who deals only in  black and white, there’s no point in which covering up one’s still-married status would be okay.  As someone who was repeatedly lied to by a cheating spouse, the circumstances would no longer matter after many months of lies.  That’s 100% dealbreaker territory.

The circumstances might have mattered if I knew them at the outset (or very soon after).

You've gotta give people the whole truth to give them agency to consent. You can't consent to something you don't fully understand.

Lot of people out there deliberately omitting the details. Lies of omission are still lies. [/quote]
