I am 37, unmarried, and do not have much opportunity for relationships. A woman I know has separated from her husband, but they are not divorced. He has shown an interest in me. Should I reciprocate and get into a relationship? If I do, would I be committing adultery?

If you do not have much opportunity for relationships, please don't go picking up the first plank that shows interest towards you-this guy is only after the one thing and cannot even wait for the divorce to go through before trying to get it...so in your opinion, what does that say about him?-and YES, you would be "the other woman" named in any divorce proceedings with regards adulterous behaviour on his part.....his wife WILL find out-of that you can be sure! There are plenty of single guy's out there, guy's who do not have attachments, or baggage...you can do better m'dear, trust me:-)Best of.....

The answer depends on several factors. If you had no part in the marital breakup, then it's OK to date the guy. I suggest that you should wait for at least a month after they separate, before saying anything. To be honest though, getting involved with anybody going through a divorce IS tough.

Yes, they are still married. Wait for him to get the final divorce papers. This will cause less problems in case the couple decides to get back together for some reason. This will help you in not getting involved with someone that is still married and there is some hope for reconciliation. You won't get your heart broken.

it is adultery, and since they aren't yet divorced i would not get too involved, as there is always a chance she may go back to her husband and leave u high and dry and brokenhearted. or she may leave her husband who may want to reconcile with a broken heart. usually a relationship started on the rebound never works.

It is adultery until the divorce is final.
As for whether or not to do it...
It's up to you but it hinges on how well you know the woman and whether you'd be willing to lose your friendship with her over him because you definitely will.

There is nothing wrong with being friends while she is SEPARATED. but when/if the divorce goes through I would pursue a relationship. Until then, friends only.

Until his divorce is final run the other way. Why is he getting a divorce? Talk to people that know him and see why this is happening cause you should know before making any decisions.

Well if she is a friend, I say no way....but if she is just an acquaintance, then I say yes, definitely. Its not adultery on your part

Don't ever date a friend's ex husband, its tasteless.
His showing an interest in u, a friend of his wife, shows what kind of guy he is. THINK about that.
