Is It Okay To Have A Relationship When You Are Separated???

The first thing I dont understand is why you are still married after 4 years of seperation? If you have been apart that long why would you even stay married? Its...I cant even think of a word to discribe it. As far as the age difference goes five years isnt much at all. If you arent ready for a relationship than tell him that no means no and if he keeps pushing you for something you dont want than obviously he isnt your friend. Staying true to yourself is very important dont ever do things that you feel are wrong to please someone else.

I don't see anything wrong with it. I dated not long after my ex husband left me before I divorced him. I mean what would be wroung with it. This guy might be the right one for you I would at least met him. It's up to you though. I just know I did I think because I was so mad at my ex at the time also.

Of course, women who are separated have lives too. We need someone to lean on, cherish and love us.... if we are hurt by someone we love before, maybe the second time around is better... Don't lose hope, everyone of us has a special someone that God has set aside for us. But if you are not ready.... don't rush things that you would regret later.

If you don't think you are ready, don't let him push you. Stick to what you want, and don't be pressured. When Mom and Dad were separated, both were in new relationships before the divorce was final, but they were OK with this because there was a divorce in progress. Do you intend to stay separated from your partner, or are you going to get back together? If you are going to stay separated then a relationship is OK, as long as you are comfortable with it.

Assuming you are planning on a divorce, then why not. If you feel you are not ready for a relationship, why can't you just be friends with this person. I would think that a good friendship is a good basis for a relationship and when yu feel you are ready, you could be ahead of the game, because you would be past the awkwardness of the first date. As for the age difference, be friends before you make a decision, As for me, I was in your place at one time and yes, he is about 5 years from me. We were friends for a long time before the relationship progressed,

I think it's ok for you to have a relationship if you're sure that you and your ex doesn't have a chance to be together again. And if you really are not ready to commit to a relationship yet, then don't force yourself. How are you feeling about this guy that is trying to court you? Have you talked with him for a long time, does he know your current position. What do you think is his motive for asking you out? Maybe he thinks he can have a go with you, if you get m drift coz maybe he thinks you're loose coz of your situation. Or maybe he really likes you and want to get to know you and see if a relationship between the two of you can progress, stuff like that, what's your gut instinct telling you about this guy? Nowadays, people don't really tend to judge or mind about age gaps and/or age differences among two people who are in love. What matters is how much or how little the love between the two of them are. So I think you shouldn't worry or think about your age gap too much, what is important is the maturity, you and this guy have in order to pursue a real relationship
