The divorce is mutual agreement and underway as they drifted apart and stayed together for kids. However, a divorce is stressful and they have things to sort out.

When you find out a guy has been married before, do you hit the brakes? Worry that he may have too much…baggage? I tell you what: You should be far more afraid of the dudes with zero baggage.

Dating a separated man can be super challenging. The best answer I can give on dating a separated man is that — it depends. There are so many variables and things that can come up in this situation. How much can he handle living in the flux of still being legally married , but not in a romantic relationship with his wife? For some men, this is a huge burden and they need time to heal. That usually cannot happen until the divorce is final, which can take years.

Baggage Claim: Why You Shouldn’t Date A Separated Man

I was newly single and in my mid-twenties, and after weeks of being told that it was time to put myself back out there, I decided that there was no harm in using Tinder. That was my first mistake, especially since I hadn't been in the dating game since before Tinder even existed. It's safe to assume that most people can present themselves in a way that looks normal on Tinder. It's easy to whip up a few seemingly innocuous lines, slap your most flattering photos up there and swipe away. If you come across as a normal human being and not an over-sexualized creep during the first conversation, well, then you are already ahead of the curve.
