Wow, I can't believe some of the answers. The question is whether or not the other man had anything to do with what led to divorce or any other man for that matter. And the fact that you are asking this question means that some part of you must feel like you are cheating. If you want some statistical advice concerning new relationships that begin too soon after or during divorce the numbers say more than 80% of those relationships fail. You honestly need time to heal beofre moving on.

I feel you. Im in the middle of a divorce from a very abusive man who I was with for ten years. I finally got my self-esteem back and gave him the boot. Well through all of this I feel in love with my friend who ive known since middle school. I couldnt be happier. Your no longer together as a couple so your not cheating. Through the bibles view fornication to someone other than your spouse is grounds for divorce. So if he slept with someone else then you can seperate or choose to stay with that person and work it out. Whatever you feel in your heart you should follow. I wish you the best.

Well if you got physical with this new man you love then yes you cheated on your husband and will be cheating on your husband until you get a divorce. It you only have feeling for this man then no. In today's society that once people get divorced they will automatically start dating before the divorce is final. I say it us to what you believe is right.

According to whom?
Some people would say a divorce changes nothing; you both made eternal vows before God (or whatever) and therefore any attempt at having other relationships will forever count as adultery.
On the other hand, some people would say you're no longer obligated to honor your commitment to a relationship once both parties have agreed to end it. Although your divorce proceedings are not finalized, it does seem that your marriage is over and you should be free to move on.
I suspect that you're asking this question because you're not sure how *you* feel about it. Unfortunately, no one else can answer this for you. Good luck!

No, But it's too early for you to date unless you want the title of being a who-re! My ex wife was dating before she told me she filed for a divorce. Matter of fact, she waited two weeks after she filed for a divorce to tell me. I thought she was going to work, but no she was shacking with her new boyfriend while I was watching the kids. Funny thing is that THE MAN stuck it to me! I didn't get the kids because of State law the kids always go to the mother unless proven unfit, and I have to pay child support even though my wife made three times more than what I ever could make. Now, You should be safe if you soon to be ex's knows that there is a divorce and that he can start seeing other people also. I hope this helps.

If you are legal separated or "divorced from bed-and-board" and do not have intend to reconcile in the future, having new boyfriend is not cheating. A cheating is defined as expressing thoughts, ideas, deep feelings, emotions, or sharing experiences normally reserved for spouse. Since there is no spouse to share there is no cheating. Have fun and clear conscience.

no it's not cheating (legally). Once those papers are filed and you are living separate lives, you are considered separated. Any court of law in at fault states can not make an adultery charge stick with divorce papers filed.
best of luck

i am exactly in the same situation. i have been separated from my husband for a year in a half and have no intentions of getting back together with him. but after the 13th month of separation i ran into the guy that i was seeing before i got married we started talking and he told me that he was separated from his wife too so we exchanged numbers and we've been together ever since, it's just like it was something that was meant to be because it was too perfect. but anyway to answer your question, no i don't think it's cheating because even though you're legally married emotionally and physically you're not. so as long as your heart is not in the marriage what does the piece of paper mean?

You are getting a divorce and moving on good for you, i would say you are on the right track. If you are still living with your soon to be ex it would be cheating, and who cares any way.

Naw, if your in the middle of a divorce, it SAFE to assume the relationship is over. Even if a peice of papper haven't been overturned you know it's over, your ex knows it over, I would let a peice of paper that doesn't represent current/real life hold up a relationship.
