Want to date, but not divorced yet

[Fleminggot]

Been properly separated for a year. Prior to that the last year of relationship was awful and lonely. Been having a bit of a FWB thing, but I'm getting feelings for him, so need to stop that as he doesn't want a relationship and he's not right for me.

I really feel ready for dating, but really nervous at the same time. My only option is online dating.

My concern is that I'm still married and that men would be put off by that or that it could affect the amicable relationship I have with my ex. Also would it be cheeky to put my profile on POF as single, rather than separated?

I won't be taking my cheating ex back, I know that and need to start divorce proceedings!

I separated 4.5 years ago.
Still not divorces.
Practically living with someone else now.
My ex cheated - why should I sort out the divorce.
If he wants one he can sort it out!
But really - no-one I've ever met since has been bothered that I'm still married.
I always list myself as 'separated' and not had any problems with it.

I'd have not been impressed when I was online dating if someone described themselves as single when they were in fact still married.

like others here im seperated 2.5 years now and like hells bells my ex cheated so sod it he can pay for a divorce if he wants one, the guy im seeing has been seperated 5 years and neither of us cares about it seperated nowadays isnt the stigma or the temporary state it was way back when

I started seeing now dh when I was separated. Divorce only came through last year. Didn't bother him as much as it bothered me to be honest!

From the moment the marriage is over you are single imo. Separated is just what you have to give in legal guff or when form filling. It a just a legal technicality and you can always explain you're waiting for divorce. I did mine online too for £250.

Enjoy and have fun with it :)
