So I can add M women to my list of acceptable people to date? As long as I encourage them to work on things with their H should the situation arise? You mean Ive had that boundary all this time for no good reason? Does it apply to only Legally Seperated, or does seperated count too. How long do they have to be seperated? How about 'thinking' about seperating'? How about 'not happy and emotionally seperated'? Think of all the ladies I could be personally responsible for restoring their self esteem to. Wow, Id actually be doing them a favor. Id be 'THE HERO!'
Ok sarcasm aside, how can you trust someone who throws the onus for their emotions on you?
How can you respect them?
It really depends blackfoot. Mostly on what the two people involved agreed on. I don't even have a problem with married people doing the "swinger" thing as long as both are in agreement. I think it's a mistake, but I wouldn't classify it as an affair. To me, an affair needs secrecy, and one person unaware of what is going on.
If two people seperate to take a break, but agree not to see other people, they shouldn't date. If, on the other hand, they separate with the full understanding that there may be others, I again have no problems with either of them dating. Which is my understanding of LFL's situation.
It's not the marital status that matters to me (I'm not religious), it's full disclosure. Feel free to disagree, but I will not change my mind.
