'Separated' in a woman's profile?

[Aloe]

So you see a profile you like, but her marital status is separated, what are your thoughts and actions?

I've dated married RW in America who were separated. I've also dated married RW in America who disclosed on our date they are still married, living with husband, and don't want to divorce him but have needs.


I would never get involved with a married woman overseas that have not started or received her divorce papers yet. Too many hurdles for romance to happen especially after reading some men's experience getting involved with women like that.


Food for thought Aloe. Some of those married women I've dated had problems in their marriage. When dating them I sensed their vulnerabilities. They were hungry for love and could easily be taken advantage of. Don't do anything foolish.

If I were you, I would have moved on.  Too many problems with 'Separated' women.   They need to be either in single or divorced or widowed.     Divorced women with children might also be problems if the father is still in the picture!

I believe women should be 100% ready if they want to look for serious relationships.  'Separated' women aren't 100% because they are still legally married and could cause problems

Once dated a 'separated' woman. Turned out more like a marriage counceling session with her returning to her husband. After meeting me she understood she could do far worse.....

Sometimes divorce takes time so she could be separated for some time.  I wouldn't have a problem going on a date with someone separated but I would be consciously looking for signs to see if she is ready for a new relationship or still trying to get over her previous one.

I took the I would move on with a quickness option and I would. IMHO, any woman who is separated isn't through with her previous relationship and thus not ready for a new one. I wasn't always so discerning. I have dated separated women in the past and wound up with a lot of guilt as a result and a couple of times in a shit storm not of my making. Trying to start a new relationship with old baggage rarely ever works in my experience and observations

Considering that I had not yet completed my divorce when I made my first trip to Russia, my answer is obvious.  However, my wife and I had been separated for  three years.  You have been separated for three days.
 
Aloe, please give yourself some time before entering a new relationship.  And for sure, end your existing relationship before starting a new one.  Ending a relationship includes: 1) having physically separated and 2) lawyers preparing paperwork.
 
Some women find an animal spirit at such times and ride him until his penis falls off.  However, abstinence is probably best because you are vulnerable to making some bad decisions.  Next month, maybe.

Aloe, we know your personality and intellect.  We know that you are a very pretty young woman.  You will not have a problem in finding a new man when you are ready.

Gator, but she is all alone there. No friends or family to provide her with a shoulder to lean on.  She needs somebody now. Loneliness can drive people crazy.

Wouldn't touch it with a 10' pole. She need to get her self in order and get straigthened out.
 
Now if it was me who is separated or just got out of a relationship - then I'd celebrate the world and enjoy my new status of being single. Take my time and taste life's flavor I haven't tasted in a while...
 
Why complicate what is otherwise a very simple way to live?

Pretty much my way of thinking too, although I would wait a bit before "tasting the flavours.".  However, if the period of separation for the woman was years rather than months or days, I might be a bit more receptive.

Isn't this exactly what the OP desires . . . celebrate, enjoy and taste with a different (new) partner??
