past relationships are easy because we tend to gravitate toward the familiar. you are right in wanting to completely end your marriage before moving on. there is nothing wrong with talking and meeting your ex while the divorce is being finalized. have fun getting to know your ex again, but take it slow. try not to focus your attention on your ex so that you don't end up jumping from one bad relationship into another. good luck bro

If you do decide to pursue the relationship...take it slow..there is no need to rush into anything. Good luck to you!

They say the 1st relationship that you get into after a divorce or separated doesn't last. That's true - it's all about the possible need of getting even with the ex or to prove a point to them & yourself.

I agree with Startin_anew, take your time & go slow. You don't really know what could happen & things can change quickly for the 2 of you.

Good luck though.

First of all....seperated IS NOT single....you need to take care of that situation first! Secondly....our past always comes back to us sweetly...we remember the good and none of the bad and tend to forget why they aren't in our lives any longer. Personally, I would take care of the marriage, see if it is going to work...and if not...get out and give relief to both of you. I would also take a step back from the other ex and think it through before making any moves....and she needs to give you that time. Good luck

Deal with the relationship you're in currently before trying to move onto another one.
