There are no legal consequences to dating after you've separated and before you're divorced. But you need to verify there is nothing prohibiting it in the separation agreement (if you have one).

To my way of thinking - a separation is designed to allow the couple to think about their relationship, to contemplate whether they want to continue in the marriage - a time when perhaps, there is some counseling and some re-defining the marriage, and any children that may be a part of the marriage. When you start up with someone else, you are still carrying the weight of baggage from the marriage. You need to allow some time to clear out the suitcase. I believe that you are still in holy matrimony and the rules of that apply until you have a DEGREE OF DIVORCEMENT between you. Even then, you should really consider your relationships. Sexual activity should not be rampant and have free course in your life. Your body is your temple and is special and should not be given over to anyone at any cost. I hope that if you are separated, you will be able to work things out. God bless you.

"allowed" by whom?
Makes no sense, hon. You can do what you wish..... But, if you are separated, and hoping to repair your marriage, it would be foolish to do so, and selfish on your part......If your marriage is repairable, and you and your spouse hope to get counseling to see where your difficulties lie, then what would be the purpose.... Just to get laid? Not really very nice.
If, however, you are fully intending to file and divorce, and have mentally left the marriage, and it is simply a matter of paperwork, you might hold off until the paperwork has indeed been filled out and filed. Then, any person you meet from that point on, you can honestly confess, "yes, we are separated, and the papers are in the works. It is indeed over, and we have each moved on."
Anything less, really is moral fraud.

I don't think it would be a good idea, if your separated you are suppose to be thinking about your marriage and how to repair it. Legally you still are married separated or not and the constitutes adultery and could be used in court. If you feel a need to date then your not really interested in saving your marriage and might as well get divorced.

I think that is totally a personal opinion. If you are separated and trying to get your marriage back on track - then no way. If you are separated and just waiting for the divorce to be final, then I don't see why not.

Yes, but why would yo want to? This is the time that you would be using to deal with the problems that got you here in the first place.It is never a good thing to jump from one relationship to another before you have closure from the other one, or history may repeat it's self. What about the chance that you may be able to work things out. this is that time to figure things out, heal, and your time to get yourself in a better place. Good Luck

No church i'm attentive to condones divorce so for you to no longer be stunned on the reactions you're getting. incredibly by fact that he's a pastor. humorous element is the countless issues the hot men is asserting are maximum probable what your husband develop into asserting purely a pair of years in the past. you rather are not requesting help here. you're purely desiring human beings to returned you in this. maximum at the instant are not likely to take action. in case you desire to go away then circulate. do in simple terms no longer anticipate anybody you knew to get in line in the back of you. Sorry.

Sure why not.. but if you two are trying to work things out.. and are just taking a temporary break I wouldn't advise it. You re not telling us your story you are only asking if its okay!!!
Talk to your other half you need to have some type of understanding... Nothing worse then one messing around while the other is really trying hard to think things threw and wanting it to work out. If and when she finds out about it.. Everything you tried to fix just went out the window.

Legally yes, of course in most states it's not illegal to date someone else while you are married.
The question is do you really want to try and get back together because if you do, dating someone else is a BAD idea!

Honestly, you shouldn't unless you file for divorce, then the paper is in action so feel free to date until then for your conscious sake you may want to wait plus who wants somebody that still belongs to someone else.
