I have filed for divorce in 04 and due to the schedule with the courts it has taken now 2 years to get a date with the judge. My life has been struck in limbo and would like to move on.

Yes, if I really really liked him. I'm ashamed to say that I dated a married man for a year before he left his wife. I was divorced and I knew he was heading for one. I know it wasn't right, but WE were right, so I did something I thought I would never do. Your situation is much better than that, so yes, I believe girls will date you. Just be honest from the beginning.

I have been on both ends of this one myself, and my current husband was going thru a divorce when we first met. It made no difference to our relationship. If the break up is VERY recent, there is always the chance they will get back together, but once actual divorce proceedings are started that's pretty rare. Some people get hung up on the IDEA that someone is still married, but if the relationship is over, it's over. As long as your soon-to-be-ex wife is not harassing you by calling or coming over all the time, you shouldn't have any trouble.

I would under certain circumstances. When I separated from my ex, it took him FOREVER to get on with the divorce proceedings. I had no money--I was in grad school. I didn't really worry about making things final and legal because I wasn't dating. But then I met someone (we're happily married now). We dated for A WHILE before my divorce was final but only because of the circumstances ... so i would just say it depends.

You can get a divorce sooner than 2 yrs. regardless of the court system so you aren't telling the whole story which is probably partly why you are getting divorced. Somebody is holding it up for financial, emotional, drama reasons or something. If that's so then don't drag someone else into that for your own selfish reasons. Get it done and then move on.

hopefully the soon to be ex is telling the truth about the divorce and not covering to have a delight of two different kinds, it could be ok if everything went slow but after a divorce then things need to mellow out first due to a divorce can be a long stressful situation

I was in a similar situation with my niw hubby I was divorce when we started to date but he was in the process os a divorce I decided to go out with him on dates so we can know each other better but we never got on second base.. I was a little afraid to get involved with some one that was in a process of a divorce cuz never know he could of gone back with her!!! He respect my decition so after he signed the divorce then things were better we get compromized with each other and after a year we got married & after 4 years we are still happily married.... It can happend!!! :)

My mom met my stepdad when he was at this point. The divorce was really messy and she understood because hers had been as well. I think this allowed them both to take it slow and in the long run it really helped them! Take this opportunity to do the same thing.
I can't say if I would do that as my life is in a totally different place--I'm 25 and about to get married and scared to death of divorce because my parents made their divorce unpleasant for me.

Yes I would and have. I moved in with my fiancee before his court hearing and like you it took 2 years just to get a court date. She left him for another man and after him bringing her back home 3 times, so I knew he was finished with her for good.

I have, did and still do. I met my boyfriend in 2/05 and he finalized his divorce in 6/06. It was a long a tedious process dealing with his stupid ex-wife, but we're still together and planning to marry. Good luck!!

Yes if its been more than 2 years sure. Its all done except the paperwork. A guy that was still involved in fighting and arguing with his ex no.
