Hey SG.... yeah, I disagree with dating because it brings an innocent bystander into the situation. No matter what you tell them, it just isn't fair to them, or to you, in my opinion. I really don't think you should date unless you really are done with your M. Then, I have no problem with it.
Good point VH. I would add that dating may bring a WAS back, but I suspect it is for the wrong reasons - jealousy, anger, insecurity. It seems to me that in that case, the real issues with the M have been band-aided, but they needed surgery - so, they are bound to come back.
It would seem a LBS would prefer to have the WAS return for the right reasons - they want the LBS.
