If two people are estranged from their spouse, is it ok to date each other?

@Vivaci so many thanks. My husband was told ( yes we laugh together ) that even some spouses fought for ...PLASTIC BAGS !!!! Divorce lawers hear everything under the sun. We have kids and it matters and we are...I am off the dating scene but everybody is different

@revenant Yeah, my husbands cousin brother has still fighting divorce battle after 6 yrs.... Poor child of theirs is suffering as the husband doesn't want to divorce his wife who ran away with her son and wants to make her suffer!!! 🙄 I'm ashamed of that brother in law of ours...
Divorces are a necessity though.... I've heard that it's v painful. People have advised me to avoid it until my kid goes to college. That's what I'm doing.

@revenant I am not going through it. My original question was posted because there are two people i work with who are estrange and now living with each other. I am the lucky boss when gets to keep personal and work issues separated!

This is sad but true in many marriages. The grass looks greener on the other side, they go for it and leave everything behind and causing wounds that will take years to heal. I am sorry to hear this. @revenant

@SNG42 thank you and it is ok. People are all different; you cannot generalise

@SW-User Exactly.

@SW-User Then it gets complicated!

That’s what i thought. They don’t think so. Oh well. Their choice. @SW-User

@violet71 So, you don't see any issues with it? What if one couple decided to reconcile?

then the other person is still estranged from their spouse and their new lover,
so they should seek out another, next, lol@SNG42

@revenant That would not bother you?

I would be careful for feelings could still be strong but they are not together anymore. Where I live you have to be at least a year apart to be divorced

@SW-User doesn't happen over night and it's expensive. Everything is already divided up, kids have their schedules I have my own place, it's all done.
Why not date?

@abe182 i dont trust people. and its rare for me to feel that way about someone.

@SW-User OK so don't date then. But you don't have to trust them, just have a good time. And I don't mean sex I mean just enjoy not being alone and enjoy their company. It may be the only date and that's fine! If they want to see you again then bonus.
I'm always straight up and honest with them, yes I'm separated. Some people have a problem with that and some have no problem at all.
