Recently separated

Recently separated (which I didn't want to) and obviously not even contemplating dating again just yet (got 3 girls) ex still in our home for now. Was just wondering how long is acceptable for either of us to start dating again? I've asked her several times for us to try again (nobody else involved just relationship run its course after 15yrs) but she's made it clear it is over. The time will come at some point to venture back into the scary world of dating so just curious, I'd be pretty cheesed off if in a few wks said shes going on a date.

Personally I don't think you should date while under the same roof, it happens but especially where Children are involved it can lead to a lot of heated arguments. But of course that is just my opinion and anyone is free to date at any time they choose.

It's worth remembering in this situation that your Ex will likely have checked out of your relationship a long time ago, as such she is a lot more likely to be ready to date than you are. So if she's dating immediately it's possible/probable that it was lined up before the split and if she's dating shortly then try to remember that you are at very different stages of the break up.

We are not under same roof I have moved back to my mothers. Said shes been u happy a few months. Definitely nobody else involved, stress/anxiety & depression on her part has played a major part.
