Well, I think it really depends on the situation. That's probably a good general rule (who wants to get into a relationship and then they reconcile with their spouse?). But there are exceptions. Me for example - I'm still not officially divorced (although hope to be by the end of the year). But it's been almost two years since my ex left, and having been through a previous affair and reconciliation, when he actually left and filed I was D.O.N.E. at that point. And when I acquired my first boyfriend about 4 months after ex moved out, my divorce and my ex were really not a factor in the relationship at all.
