Is it wrong?
Would it be unfaithful if you then finished the relationshipo and got back to married life?

Morally I'd say depends on whether you are separated with an INTENT to divorcing or not. If you fully intend to divorce permanently then its fine, but if you're just "on a break" knowing you will get back together sometime then its cheating. Legally, I guess its adultery for as long as you are still legally married.

Any woman worth her weight in salt wouldn't date a man who is only separated--for two reasons.
1) Separation is supposed to be a time when a couple is deciding if they are going to get back together or not. They should, in theory, be taking that time to work on things and see if they could get back together. Most women know this and if they respect the sanctity of marriage, they won't touch a man during this time.
2) A woman who is willing to just be the chick you bang until you get back with the woman you want to spend the rest of your life with clearly thinks very little of herself and of you.
Marriage isn't and shouldn't be a on and off kind of thing. If you want to date around then you should get a divorce...if you want to be married, then work things out with your spouse.
Besides, dating someone for a short period of time during a separation and then getting back together with your spouse would make me wonder if the separation wasn't just because you wanted to have a fling...
When you get married, you agree that you are not going to be distracted (forsaking all others) by something that seems more appealing...if you can't abide by those terms then you should just get divorced.

In some states, adultery can be a basis for impacting distribution of property and placement of children when parties divorce, especially if there is a pre-nuptial agreement. In other states, adultery is not relevant to the divorce proceedings. Your question has a moral component and a legal component. I cannot help you with the former, but with the legal aspects, go see an attorney because your actions may effect the final outcome if there is a divorce, especially if there are children of the marriage.

A, married!
B. Still married!
C. Deal with marriage or lack of it before moving on. Anything else just makes you into being unfaithful. That attitude may have been the problem in the first place.

If you are now separated and further genuinely intent on divorce, I don't really think there is anything wrong with sleeping around. If you are serious about getting divorced, it means the marriage is over and done with, and there is no sign of a patch-up. When it is over in both parties' minds, it is over and neither would want to wait for a piece of paper to say that, although a formality.
Good luck!

Yes. You are still married. I wouldn't sleep with my husband until his divorce came through and I saw it with my own eyes. In my eyes, if there was a hope of his marriage surviving then I wasn't getting in the way. As it was, there was no hope of his reconciling with his now ex wife. I knew that for sure but I didn't want to engage in any behaviour that was beneath me.

ideally you should start or complete the divorce producedure before dating other partners becuase u are still legally married and still are man and wife therefore if your huby or wife has a hissy fit and decides to get u done for adultery you'll regret the passionate thoughts or shall i say so

As long as you are married I think it would be unfaithful. That
would be the same as cheating while living together. What
if the woman becomes pregnant?

your wanting to begin something before the marriage is for sure over with, leaving yourself open for hurt, or hurting others. if there is even a chance u love your mate, don't cheat on them, as when u do it takes u down a completely different path. it is wrong to cheat until your divorced from that person.
