Blah. I go back and forth. Now after reading a bunch of websites on "dating before D is final" I'm reconsidering. There a lot of people out there that refuse to date anyone while they're only separated and I can understand that. I think Underdog posted recently about meeting guys through online dating sites and not being interested because they weren't actually D yet. I don't want to be seen in poor taste. I don't want to lose a potential partner because I tried to date them while I was still married and they thought it was inappropriate/I was just looking for a rebound/I wasn't disentangled from my prior relationship/etc. I feel it'd be possible to get around some of that if it somehow came up where my friends could share my backstory, but I don't really have control over that. Maybe waiting until D is final would be better - it's slated to be in early May.
Me:30 H:29, no kids T:12, M:4 (when D was final) 12/13: "Don't think I want to be M anymore" 6/14: Separated (I move) 1/15: H filed for D 5/15: D final
