As long as both are in agreement and the matter has been fully discussed, then there should be no reason not to date.
HOWEVER, women are emotional and men lie! No matter what she/he says, it is still going to have some effect on the ex. You can date but try to keep them apart as much as possible and don't flaunt it in your soon-to-be-ex-spouse's face.

If there is an understanding that you will be dating other people... I guess it depends upon the couple. I personally don't understand why people would date while still married, even if separated. They shouldn't use the separation as a license to be with other people. They should be focusing on working on the marriage, or themselves (and therefore the relationship) or be filing divorce papers and waiting until they are finalized. Just my opinion though.

Some people think you shouldn't see another person until you're divorced and that's probably the correct way. However, many people start dating when they are LEGALLY separated. If a person wants to be safe and not have their feelings hurt, they won't date anyone who isn't at least legally separated. But if one dates, one should go out with another or go to their place. Do not take your date to a home you are still sharing with your ex. Not right at all!

Absolutely NOT!!
separated, isn't DIVORCED!!
If U are smart, U would want to have some commitment and not with someone that is still taken.
Wait until U see the divorce decree. Over all who ever has this dilemma will make up their own minds in the long and the short of it.
Don't worry
Be Happy

Not judging anyone here but I don't think it's right. It would be awkward and disrespectful to the relationship you USED to have. There will be plenty of time to see someone else when you really are separated - physically. Going on living together can't be doing anyone much good.

I think that saying that you are "SEPARATED" when you still live in the same place makes no sense. That defies the definition of separation. You aren't separated. You are still together. I think anyone that dated someone that still lives with their spouse and "says" they are separated would have to be an idiot.
I am not being sarcastic. I think that is ridiculous.

If the other people know what the situation is and don't mind or don't care and the seperated, now room mate of a spouse, is comfortable with the goings on, since you two still share a home, you need to respect that or move out.

Married is married is married. Period. Whether you live in the same house or different, you're still MARRIED! Wait until you are divorced. How can you start another relationship without even finishing the old one? Tacky!

I think that all comes from the understanding that is between you 2.
If it's said that this marriage is over, then get it over so that you can move on.
Why are you 2 still living in the same house?
You may want to talk about where exactly your marriage is.
Come to an understanding, then move on.

I don't think so because it doesn't seem fair to the one your seeing. Yes to dating but you shouldn't let anyone get close enough to your situation that they lose respect for you because once you lose that you have nothing anyway. I would make plans to move. Anything is possible if you want it bad enough.
