chphan Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Okay straight to the point. If you are looking at a profile and it say separated. What does that mean to you? I usually avoid it because it seem like trouble down the road on a possible ex and someone still being attach to their ex.
oaks Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Okay straight to the point. If you are looking at a profile and it say separated. What does that mean to you? It means: fewer guys will be chasing her, so if she's attractive I'll get in touch. If it gets as far as a first date I'll be sure to ask her what "separated" actually means in her specific case, since everyone is different and I don't want to assume. Some varieties of "separated" I wouldn't want to get involved with, and some I don't have a problem with.
phineas Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 To me it means at any time they can just drop me to go back to their spouse. If their legally separated for insurance purposes or some other silly nonsense, well it depends on how long. I know people who have been separated for years & don't plan on divorcing or getting back together.
carhill Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 If you are looking at a profile and it say separated. What does that mean to you? IMO, it's more important what it means to the person putting 'separated' in their profile. As an example, when I did that, my exW and I hadn't cohabited in eight months and divorce filings were on record at the courthouse for a roughly similar period. For all intents and purposes our M was over. A couple months after that, exW moved her BF into the home she would receive in the divorce and they still cohabit there over two years later. Myself, after a brief stint of dating as a result of that OLD profile, I moved on to other things in life. Like I said, better to find out what it means to them.
FrustratedStandards Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 To me it means "Having problems in current relationship".
