How wary are you when you see "Separated" as a status?
Posted : 9 Jun, 2011 05:30 PM

What do you ladies think?

My divorce is a done deal, I care about my "wife's" well being and we are going to stay married until she and her fiancee are married...by the end of the year, so that I can carry her on my insurance. She has had some serious health problems and I could never leaver her without insurance.

How wary would you be to start even a frienship with a man who is still married, but is going to be divorced?

I am sure that I want to marry again, and I miss having a partner in my life to share things with. But I feel that most women would be afraid to "take a chance" on a "married" guy.

Ladies, please tell me your feelings on the matter?

Peter

Hi Peter! :waving:

I'm sorry if what I say isn't what you want to hear. :( But when I see "Separated" I automatically leave their profile. It's that quick. I guess it's better to have that as an option so it doesn't promote lying, but it wouldn't bother me if they didn't allow "Separated" people on this site. But of course, some would rather "Divorced" people not be here either! Haha! Everyone's different.

It's honorable you're keeping her on your insurance. :applause:

Welcome to the forums! :purpleangel:

When I see "separated" on a woman's status, I usually head the other way. I wouldn't want to come in between a couple. Separated, in my eyes, is still married. But, like T said, everyone is different.:glow:

I'm with T and Chevy. When I see "Separated," I leave the profile without bothering to read the rest of it.

The way I see it, if a couple is still married, I'm not at all interested in the guy. He might be the greatest guy, and he might have very honorable reasons for not being divorced yet, but he is STILL married and therefore unavailable.

When I see "Separated" on a man status.....I leave the profile because for me "Separated" is still married and I don't want to come in between a couple....

What you are doing for you wife sounds very noble but I avoid individuals with the status of separated. I honor marriage and believe in the principle of sowing and reaping too much to get in the middle of someone else's marriage.

Although you are doing a very nice thing by keeping her on your insurance, personally, I run when I see "separated."

That means the two people are still legally united in marriage, whether or not they live together, etc.



I refuse to come between a man and his wife, so until the status reads, "divorced", I don't go there.



Besides, to see "separated" also throws up red flags, such as, "He can't be over her yet", "Maybe they will reconcile", etc.

well i mean, if you want me to be honest biblically speaking "seperated" (neither single nor divorced but inbetween) is adultery to me IF I go with a man with that status.



Either he's Single, or He's completely divorced (and in what way he's divorced as well... not just someone who's divorced i'll go with, if hes never commited adultery against his wife, and if he didn't leave her but she left him, then I would consider it.). Nothing in between... hehe kinda like the "either your Hot or your cold. nothing lukewarm. thats how i see it.

Hi Peter,



It is so sad to me when i see 'separated', that it causes me to stop and pray, not only for this man's marriage, but for all marriages. This has grieved me so much that I have placed at the beginning of my profile a whole section just for separated and divorced people. Their are issues surrounding this, that must be dealt with or this person will cause another person to be drawn into the pit with them. There is a season for everything and the season of 'separation' is not to be looking for someone else, but should be utilized to see if you can save your marriage! i run the other way for both of us, because he is not thinking about anyone but himself and his wants. I am sorry, but this issue is non-negotiable, no matter what the reason! I pray I am never in that situation or worse in a divorce; how my heart hurts to even think of it. I will continue to pray for those marriages as I run across 'separated' men.
