You Are Now Alone
So your spouse is gone, and you are alone.
You don't know if they will come back and seek reconciliation or not. And,
you are lonely. Should you date while you are separated? I know that
dating while separated is accepted, even encouraged, in our society. But,
most of those who are dating will never be reconciled. They will be
divorced. Dating is a prelude to remarriage, not therapy for
reconciliation.
Certainly you need friends. You need people
who will care and help bear the load, but the dating context is not the
best place to find such help. You are extremely vulnerable. Your own
emotions are up and down. It would be easy for you to get infatuated with
anyone who treats you with dignity, respect, and kindness.
Unfortunately there are those who would
take advantage of you. Pretending to be concerned about you, they are busy
satisfying their own desires. Your well being is best served by seeking
friendships with long term trusted friends of the same sex. Dating while
separated is not a step toward reconciliation.
