Its a couple ways to look at this situation - 1st - is your husband seeing or sleeping with someone else? b/c if he's not, then u ******* or seeing someone else is gonna cause him to do one of 3 things: he's gonna do it b/c u are or he's gonna come running back b/c he doesn't want to lose u or he's gonna kick every *** in sight b/c he' hurt and pissed and possibly feels disrespected. - 2nd - Are u doing this b/c u just need some release or do u feel u can potentially make a new life with this person u want to date.
There is no time limit on how long u should wait when you are separated but be aware that there could be some consequences, I'd say if you are sure that your marriage is over then go for it, even if its not, the bottomline is he's not there with you, seeing to your needs but neither are you for him.
This is tricky, b/c you dating could be a good thing for your marriage or it could mean the end. I think you, still love and respect your husband and marriage b/c if you didn't this wouldn't be a hard decision for you. He's not there so he shouldn't get upset with you for dating but that doesn't mean that he won't.

Yes you can. Just be careful. Also, is divorce really coming or is there a chance of reconciling? If you think you can get back with your spouse, then don't date, you might regret it later.
If you're definitley parting ways, then yes it's okay to date.
I was separated from my wife for about a month and met someone and started dating. That was 9 years ago, and we're still together, actually was just married 8 months ago.
good luck.

ou can date as much as you want. Being separated means you are a free agent. Do you think your previous partner is sitting at home wondering if he's cheating. ( I dont think so). I was married for 20 years before i separated from my ex. I have never been happier and I now have no quarms about dating or anything else for that matter

You date if you feel ready, Galaxy Girl. My partner met me 5 months after leaving his wife. It was the right time for both of us and we're still happy nearly a year later. Fingers crossed for you, Galaxy Girl, let me know if you want to meet a really nice kind bloke with a great sense of humour who can cook. Specsy's little brother!

Depends on your morals.
I moved in with my boyf before my divorce from my ex-hubby came though. Whatever you're comfortable with.
