I filed for divorce over a half year ago, but the divorce is being drawn out and is still not finalized. I know legally I am still married and shouldn't date. I have been so controlled and miserable in my marriage that I want to go out finally and meet new people. I even have an exboyfriend that I am friends with again. Is it wrong to want to date so soon?

Excuse me but if you are legally separated and filing for divorce who the hell should stop you from dating? Why would you?
I would have been out there day one partying like it's 1999 (again).
Go out girlfriend, have some fun. I'm sure you know some single gals and if not ask your hairdresser...if he's a nice gay guy he will probably accompany you and you can have a heck of a good time no strings attached! LOL
Go out and discover all the fun you've been missing.
Just watch out. You need to do some healing and learn to love yourself so you don't end up picking the same type of guy again to love. Women do that and do it over and over and over...so read some self help books or get counselling and get out and enjoy life. It's nobody's business what you do if you decide to go out and have fun. Make some new friends since obviously the old housewife friends you had (if you had any) are not the type who would approve of your new life..in fact they just might envy you!

I think you should consider a divorce before attempting any relationship and also wait awhile until the fire is really out of both of you. Then you can precede to a relationship. Dating too soon can cause serious problems if the other person cares and sometimes separation brings out true feelings in another person and if you date someone and he finds out, he can become jealous and things could be unpleasant.

Go ahead and date. You are just waiting for the paperwork.
It is time to move on.
If you have kids or family that woud be upset if you date....keep it a don't ask don't tell sort of thing.

i dont think so...do what your heart desires but if the relationship has the possibility of being serious make sure they know about whats going on with the divorce and all.

Marriage ends morally when divorce is filed.
If you want to date, do it.

I think you should put dating on the back burner for know and get to know yourself again. Don't be co-dependent, give yourself time to heal and grow.

No it's not wrong. You may be legally still married but not emotionally, and that's what counts.

Dating is out. Six more months of the old ball and chain.
