RJ, I don't think anyone should date while still married, even if they're separated (and, possibly, not for a few months after, to get the grieving process over, especially if you the LBS), but that's just me. I have heard of people getting back together after separation, and before divorce, and then issues come up about who they were dating while separated. Just not worth it, and one still has too much baggage at that time to make a fair dating companion to someone else. My own opinion, of course.
Just got shocking news that my niece's H was killed in action in Iraq yesterday. He was a medic in the Rangers, and was assisting an injured comrade when he was killed by small arms fire. My poor niece. Just makes me realise how short life is, and how we should treasure and make the most of our lives. Live in the moment.
IOW = in other words.
