reader, anonymous, writes (30 September 2010): As a man who has gone through a divorce, I can say with certainty that I would not date a woman who is just going through one herself. In fact, I wouldn't want to date a woman that just recently had her divorce finalized. The reason is because it takes some time to heal and adjust after a divorce. I spent six months on my own after my divorce, rediscovering the single life and getting reacquainted with living on my own, both the good and bad aspects of it. I think that made a huge difference when I reentered the dating pool, as I had myself together, my confidence was restored, and I wasn't dealing with any residual emotional baggage on my own part.

When I met my girlfriend, she was going through a sticky divorce. It didn't bother me. But then my girlfriend had moved away from him and was really rebuilding her life, so it was obvious that she was over him and the divorce. It just depends on your situation (whether you have children, how bad the divorce is, whether you're really over the ex husband etc) and it depends on the man. Some men will see that a woman is going through the divorce and will go for it because they know she's worth it. Others will run a mile. So it depends on your situation, and it depends on the man.

 having been in this situation myself I can say that it's not really a problem except for the fact that you do get caught up or involved in the argument. it's unavoidable, so it's not much fun from that point of view. But if you are developing a relationship with good prospects it may well be worth it.

That's just too risky, since alot of people play that card and like to live in no man's(woman's) land so they can be with both men(or both women, or both). I wouldn't bite until it was all over.. but that's just me.
