Let’s say you’ve met this great guy and he’s HOT for you…
Like… hot and in pursuit!
He wants you bad and you kind of want to check him out BUT… he’s separated; not yet divorced.
Is it ever okay to go out with him… or are these guys strictly off limits?
What does it say about him that he’s ready to date before his divorce…
AND what are the red flags you should be looking for before you get in too deep?
Find out all this and more on this great episode of the Dating Den with my easy-on-the-eyes co-host, Michael Lushing (back by popular demand!).
Thank you, Marni, for sharing this articles. I love reading this.
Yes, I had a six month relationship with someone who was separated for two years and has already lived with a girlfriend for a year prior to meeting me. We met in December, he told me that the divorce should be finalised by June next year. When I met him he was living with his parents while his ex-wife was living with their two children with her parents, and the former family home was rented out. We connected, fell in love and started to spend a lot of time together. He and his two young children spent every weekend with us, got on very well with my son too. We were practically living like a family + he would stay a couple of nights a week as well. We’ve had a perfect partnership, filled with respect, love, fun and amazing physical and emotional chemistry. After 5 months, I’ve asked him to move in, he said yes and asked me to have a baby with him. I was over the moon, told him we could get started with that next week…he said once I am pregnant, it will be set in stone and no one will be able to change that (meaning we are meant to be together forever). Except that he got cold feet next week, cancelled all of our dates, didn’t move in and broke up two weeks later. It then transpired that he hasn’t even started the divorce proceedings and felt incredibly depressed about ending 15y long marriage. He then entered a period of 6 month intense therapy to help him to get over himself. He kept in touch throughout the therapy and I was hopeful we would have a second chance and get back together. Once his therapy ended, he announced he started seeing someone new (almost a few days after ending his therapy). I was devastated and still cannot get my head around how someone could throw away a deep soulmate connection just like that…the break up has not only affected us but also our children, who missed each other terribly; and the whole situation seemed so terribly unfair!
