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

If they both are serious about divorcing their spouses, then they should stay friends. And see where life takes you after that. I would not pursue anything in RL unless I'm single again...or if I am in an open marriage.

I agree in staying friends if possible. I would not pursue anything either unless i felt like time had healed the hurt and I knew I would not get hurt again. @Vivaci

@SNG42 I am friends with my husband. We have talked more in the past 6 months than we did in 10 years. Healing takes a long time. Honestly I was not in the marriage anymore anyway, It is cute to see him trying to flirt with me NOW

@revenant funny and sad at the same time
@revenant Interesting...sorry about your divorce, I get ya! I think with age, we tend to grow up and our choices change.

@Vivaci nope. Not in an open marriage. We live apart. I think it was a very impulsive thing from his part and now he is like what the fuck I have done..
@SNG42 Yeah, divorce is a painful thing so one can never guarantee how cordial the relationship will be after. Sometimes things get very nasty over property n kids.
@revenant Wow!! How do you feel though? Do you want to move on or give him another chance?

@Vivaci true. We do not have any anymosity anymore and we just think it is very sad. But now the house is sold and we have different plans.
@revenant I'm happy for you... I hope you enjoy your singular status, find yourself again and then find a man who truly deserves you. 💕

Awe you two! This is special. I like it when people help each other.

And reading this thread has the making for a Hallmark movie! 🧐

@SNG42 if you are going through this awful awful thing you have all my sympathy. It is hell hell. I really hope you have a good spouse. My divorce is going very smoothly but there are horrendous stories out there.
@revenant I know!!! It must be really heartbreaking to divide things amongst yourselves.... And other emotional stuff of course! 🙁
And that's why I wish that you move away from the city, so that you can move on in life. Finding another man is the only way to get over a heartbreak, honestly.

@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!
