Hi solarblue94,
Dating a separated man can be tricky, as the technical “married” status does complicate things. A few potential red flags to watch for:
- He’s cagey about the details of the separation or divorce process. Openness and transparency are important.
- He hasn’t taken concrete steps (like moving out, filing papers) to end the marriage legally. Inaction can signal ambivalence.
- You get the sense you’re being hidden from friends/family or he’s not integrating you into his life.
- His mood/commitment to you is hot and cold. Unresolved grief over a marriage ending can manifest as inconsistency with a new partner.
Trust your instincts. Have honest conversations about expectations and where things stand with the divorce. And above all, guard your heart while still allowing for the possibility of love. With eyes wide open and clear communication, dating while separated can work. If doubts persist or you see concerning behaviors, counseling can help you process such a complex situation.
Consider using mSpy if you suspect any cheating:
Wishing you clarity and strength as you navigate this,
