Date online while separated..

It's been six months since our separation..not much had gone to any better ways with the whole situation with my stbx except I am still trying to start a new life with my children, moving to new place, and just doing as much of a normal activities i can do to let go some of the stress..but just recently I started to check in to this dating site online..just to check it out and see what people actually do or deal with..and  i found it very interesting and thought it would be okay to just meet new friends..and as soon as I posted my profile, I've gotten messages everyday from all kinds of single men wanting to get to know me and be in contacts for chats as friends..I just thought that since I don't try or want to have any real dating or meeting someone new in reality , I just wanted to see how it feels to meet and talk to someone new and understands what you're going through, and it makes me feel good i guess..so because I am not oficially divorce yet, Is it wrong that I am doing this? Is this mean it's like cheating on your husband? I'm going to file my divorce soon, is this gonna affect anything if he or someone finds out I am into this dating online? You have to know, I have no intentions of getting into any serious relationship at all with any of these nice men i've met..it's just all about friends and having someone to talk to is what my intentions are..

I would "look" not "touch".  Have fun looking, but wait until the divorce is final until you date.  I agree with Sheilah that relationships can happen very quickly.  Just enjoy the looking and keep doing what you have been doing such as focusing on the children and your new home.

I would stay away from the dating sites right now.  From what you wrote in your "story", I would worry about how "Mr. Controling" would react if he found out about it. 

Plus, even though you don't have any intentions of getting into a serious relationship, it can happen very quickly and easily, especially if you have been unhappy for a long time.
