If you and your spouse have been seperated for a few months but have not gotten a divorce yet. Then you start a relationship with someone else. Is it cheating or not? I dont think that it is cheating because you are seperated and no longer together. I know that some people would think it is cheating because you are still married and not yet divorced. What do you think and why? What if you were in this situation?

I think your moving on. You have a life on your own now, your not even living in one roof with him, your living in separate life, and I think you just want to have your own life, your own choices, and start a new life if that is the case. But I think you should settle your devorce also at the same time. Just for you to have a peace of mind and can do anything that you please to do. I don't think it's cheating cause your alone now, but I think you have to end somethings by having devorce. I don't think I have to clarify anything to anyone why like this or that. Let them think what they wanna think, it's your life,and you make your own life, and take the consequences of your actions. Have a nice morning!

It lies in the eyes of the beholder you can have your own view points on these but you wont be in a position to make another person agree to your point of view. It also depends on the level of commitment you had with the person you want to be separated from. For a relation to develop there should be something extraordinary you found in the other person which your old lover was lacking in, i also think a person should be patient enough till he/she gets a Divorce.

I also think you are cheating!If you want to together with others you should tell her/him and make a decision about you two. I think if I were in this situation I will tell the trueth and make a decision.

NO! I don't think it's cheating because you are seperated, but you must make sure that both of you know that. Because if you and the other person don't understand that your seperated and can data other people then the other person can say you cheated. Some people just need a little time to be by there self and don't won't to breake up.

Yes Yes Yes, is cheating. By law, definitely will get into court case. =P To start a relation, it require times and lots of observation as this is not the first time, people will always learn from mistake and not to get hurt again. Thus it must be started earlier some times some where, might also started before the separation.
