No, I'm not asking if it's OK for me to date while I'm married, but I know a couple of people who started dating people before the divorce was final.
Is it ever OK to date while you're legally married? Let's say the couple has been separated or one spouse kicks the other out, what's the appropriate amount of time before you shack up with someone else? And what if there are kids involved?
Despite my opinions about how marriage is a way for the government to impose their values on me and control my money, I think people should hold off dating until the divorce is final. It's closure. It's the end.
Have I been brainwashed? Am I old-fashioned? Does anyone feel differently?

I'm right there with you. I think the divorce needs to be done before dating - otherwise it's like cheating. Unless of course you're cheating with some sexy GM from a failing news station.....that's just always cool.
I'd also say that "separated" is not divorced and you should probably save the dating for a while.
I guess I also wonder about those folks--is it that hard to go for one month without a date? I mean hell, just enjoy your "me-time" and self-reflect for a while and then maybe after a little while go for that profile on match.com
