writes:A man that I have been seeing over the past month has been seperated from his wife for 3 years but only got divorced officially 3 weeks ago. He seems fine and happy to move on but do you think it is too early for him to be dating someone else? I have never dated a divorced man so I'm not sure what is normal. Any advice much appreciated.

 Nope...it wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference to me. It's a good idea to forget anything that happened between him and his ex. You have started out on a clean slate with him and you'd expect him to do the same for you and not judge you on past mistakes.
If you make mistakes together then you can deal with them as they come up but anything that has happened before you met should be ignored.
(Saying that, if he had major probs in the past like gambling, drinking, cheating etc...then you just need to keep an eye that those don't cause problems in your relationship. Everyone deserves to have a second chance, so just see how it goes)

I haven't asked him why they divorced but a friend told me that she cheated. Does that make a difference?

No it's not too soon. The actual divorce happens when a couple actually parts. The paperwork that follows years later is just a formality and most people have moved on before this happens.
I wouldn't worry about it, if alls well, just go with the flow and enjoy x

 Since the divorce was final 3 weeks ago the decision to divorce was a lot further back I would assume.
I would be a little cautious, but many people disengage from the marriage/relationship way before the talk of divorce comes up.
Do you know why they divorced?
