Separated and dating?

judged

Hi,

I am dating a woman who is separated from her husband, and my friends has made some comments about her being still married, but sleeping around. I met her at a bar, asked her out and we slept together the first night. They are not terribly impressed with her "moral" standards.

Personally, I think she is a lovely person, and she wants to move on with her life, why not? Eventually, she is planning to do the paperwork. The process can be lengthly. She does not have children with her ex so it should be simple enough.

Now, I think she is very nice, but everyone says that I should not tell co-workers or bring her anywhere. My friends are nice and supportive. They do not care who I sleep with as long as I am happy. Their point is that some people, may think of her behavior "slot" like. According to them, they are just preparing me for others. They want to make sure I am realistic and wait until she decides to get divorced before introducing her to others outside friends.

What do you think? how would you judge a person who is separated but sleeping around?
