If you are a mother of a 2 year old, separated from your husband (not yet divorced) and living with your parents, what is the likely-hood that you will start seeing a man right away. (Within first 6 months)?

It's a very difficult question to answer, because it depends on the situation. As it's only a seperation I would just be alone, give it some time (more than 6 months) and try to work things out with my husband. If things don't work out I would definitely first get the divorce for my child's sake and then move on with somebody else after a long while. BUT - if my husband really pissed me off and cheated or beat me or something really shitty, then I would probably not hesitate for very long,(yes, much less than six months) because I would feel angry and impulsive and want to get revenge in a way. I would always be discreet for my child's sake. I would always put my child first and it would be very confusing for a child if suddenly a new man walks out of mommys bedroom or into their life all of a sudden before daddy is even properly gone yet.

I wouldn't. Not exactly willing to bring home a guy to my parents' house or just leave my kid there. Secondly, being seperated and going through a lot of emotions would not make me want another man anyhow. Men are more likely to do this than a woman. Maybe in a year or when I have a new place to live. It really depends on the reason for the split and if I'm still in love with my husband....tough call.

I am a mother of a 2 year old myself my husband and I are separated and going through a divorce. I spent all but say 3 months of our marriage in complete misery and I always knew that it wouldn't work out. I'm not seeing anyone because in my state even when you are legally separated you cant see somebody because its still considered adultery. But I would have no problem seeing someone right now if I knew that it wasn't illegal cause I spent our entire marriage falling out of love with him. We are coming up on two years of marriage together for a year before we married. The entire two years was nothing but pain and knowing I didn't love him.

I don't think I would. But there may be other variables that may contribute to the desire to date again. Naturally, not being divorced (technically still married) and dealing with a young child is daunting. It seems like a relationship should be the last thing on this person's mind. That's just my thoughts..there is always something more to the story.

Just how long do you think she should wait ??? If you meet someone you really like are you going to say no ?
Sounds like you don't want the relationship to be over. If she's seeing other men you should go to court to formalize your rights to see your child and move on with your life.

Personally I would not... however I had a friend that did that out of revenge.... didn't make her feel any better after all.... I also have a friend that was already making her move on another man prior to her divorce... the man didn't know... sorry.

I feel you should be divorced before you start seeing other people,,, and it take a different amount of time for people to heal
