I think there's a lot of grey areas here, but would you date a person that's say, been separated from their spouse for 10 years, but never filed a divorce?
Do you ever think it's a good idea to date someone who is only separated?
Separation is a legal term estranged is a social term meaning does not live with her
But if you tell everyone you are dating a man separated it sounds less like adultry
In my state, there is still an old law on the books that states if you are involved in a sexual relationship with a separated individual, that person's spouse can sue you for alienation of affection...so not a good idea in NC.
Plus, it takes a significant amount of time to adjust to being single again on many fronts. A "rule of thumb" is for every five yrs of marriage it takes one
year of recovery time. I'd say that was about right for me.
I'd wonder why they hadn't pulled the trigger on the divorce for such a long time, but separated for 10 years is a lot different emotionally than separated for 10 months.
No, I want to get married one day. I dont have time to wait on a man to get "divorced" and if he hasn't done in 10 years no point on waiting on him now
