Gekko, glad to hear you're taking the court proceedings in stride! That can really tear a person up, so you're really in a healthy place.
Based on my dating experiences before and after D, you are correct, many women will not go near a man who is still married no matter how long they've been separated. I heard quite a few stories about separated men dating while still clearly holding a torch for their W, and many of them ended up ditching the new GF to try and recon.
