Even though it has been only two months since he parted company from his wife.

its acceptable but also very high risk. He is not likely himself for a long time so you risk thinking you are getting to know him and what he wants and finding out he is a different person or doesn't want what he said he did when you met.
Proceed with extreme caution.

I am now married to my divorced man... They were seperated for only a few months when we met, and I would not date him until he was fully divorced, because I feel as if that would mean that he was cheating on his wife.
My opinion is that if he is actually divorced, it is fine as soon as he is ready for it, but beware - if you are the first after the marriage, he may end up clingy or you may end up the rebound relationship...

Yeah but find out WHY he's divorced, it may be that he's abusive or something, or his wife was a cheater, you just never know what you are ending up with and why someone else didn't want to stay married to that person.

It's perfectly acceptable for you (or any available woman).
He shouldn't be dating until he's over his marriage and ready to move on. Perhaps he was emotionally over it prior to leaving his ex wife, or he may still be grieving. You can either ask him about it or try to determine where he stands on the issue by his words and actions.
If he's ready to date and move on, then it's no issue...2 wks or 2 months, doesn't matter.

Yes. If he has been DIVORCED for 2 months then it probably fell apart a long time ago. If they parted ways 2 months ago then are they really divoced or just seperated?

According to Dr. Joy Browne, radio psychologist who is generally very smart, no it is not acceptable. She says that you will be his bandaid, and you know what happens to a bandaid when the wound heals...it gets thrown out. She says you should be divorced at least one year before you date.

Acceptable...yeah....advisable NO. He needs time to get his ducks in order following a divorce. This is all still new to him. Keep it a simple friendship and do not get involved - no one wants to be the rebound girlfriend.

Yes, he's legally available and obviously ready to date. I would be wary about moving in with him or an engagement ring, but yes, its time for him to get back into the swing of things, dust off those social skills and shake off the cob webs.

Absolutely acceptable. He IS divorced already, so there's nothing wrong with dating him.

T'is better to date a recently divorced man than one who isn't quite divorced yet.
