I have been seperated from my soon to be ex-husband for the past 5 years and we have both pretty much moved on, shucks, he is living with his new girlfriend (4yrs). I have actually started attending a faith based organization that looks down on DIVORCE to begin with, but I have had my moment of atonement on that matter. Just trying to move forward with a clear conscious.

Yes. Since you've been seperated for such a considerable amount of time, I would say, yes.

Depending on the cause for the breakup-- it seems he jumped right into a new girlfriend-- the divorce probably is more his fault than yours since you are asking this kind of a question 5 years later. Take your time and move on into a new relationship after your divorce become final. You will, without a doubt, have a clear conscience and with good reason to do so. Best wishes to you.

me and my husband were going through a divorce, not my choice and he was so mean to me and treated me like crap. I tried to save my marriage and he refused........so i started to date. Not that I was looking for a relationship (sorry guys) I really was just looking for someone to keep my mind off of him........ it only lasted a year and we stopped the divorce........but if it's been 5 years and he has been living with the other one for 4 years? what is taking so long to finalize the divorce........just move on and sign those papers already!

How come you haven't gotten a divorce yet. That divorce paper don't mean a thing. 5 years is long enough to consider yourself divorced whether or not it is legal. No one has to know that you are not legally divorced. I would be dating, if I were you.

What's the hurry? Why not just wait until the divorce is final? That's a lot simpler and you will avoid any messing explanations about your "situation" with your dates.

My opinion is once you've made the decision to divorce, the marriage is over. The rest is technicalities. He's moved on, you should too.

Just wait until your divorce is final and try not to take unnecessary baggage into your next relationship.
What's the rush????

it can look bad in front of a judge if you date before your divorce is final.... but as your ex has moved on ...it probably wouldn't hurt to move on too...

No, you shouldn't. It's not right. You should be divorced, if you must be, as soon as possible. No lingering or hanging on. Then, it's all up to you!
