ok you asked about dating while separated. i can honestly say, that my own personal experience, was the absolute worst decision ive ever made. i dated while separated the first time. and i regret ever second of it. you wanna talk about muddy waters.....
looking back. i was at rock bottom and thats the only people who will date you. others at rock bottom. no self respecting person will date you. yes, they seem to have their stuff together. yes they are cute and pay attention to you. but they are screwed up. if you are not free to marry someone else, then you are not free to date someone else.
i lost the respect from my family, i lost friends over it, and in the long run, it didnt work out. so in that process, i screwed up another human being, and her children.
this ended 9 months ago, and its still an issue.
and let me say this also, and this is the biggest part. if you think you mind is screwed up now.....when i was dating the new chick, my mind was going 2 different direction at once. it was a constant comparison. it was HELL. i almost had a nervous breakdown on several occasions.
for the love of God, dont do it.
and the 2 year thing. what i meant was, your life is going to be screwed up for 2 years no matter what. win lose or draw. its going to take that long to be "normal" again no matter what happens.
