is one considered "prime real estate" to move in on? 2 months? Give them time to grieve and get over the separation? Some people jump right into another relationship after they've just broken up with someone, and then residual feelings for the ex are still there, so there's always a temptation that they'll go back-!
I'm a little confused about what most people consider "appropriate" as far as moving in on someone who has recently become seaparated. And if such a situation is a "rebound" thing, where they're just going to go back to the ex-! Nobody wants to get hurt (myself included), but if one waits too long, somebody else will move in first.
If not, I say it always depends.. How long was she with her ex? How old were they when they got married?
I got married to my college boyfriend at the age of 23 (we'd been together since we were 18!).. we divorced at 26. Since then I've dated others off and on.. The men that I saw directly after the seperation and divorce were definitely "rebound" guys. I really just wanted to get out there again and be a little crazy.. and see what sex was like with someone besides my ex. So beware of this factor in the lady you're talking about.. Thus far, it's been 5 years since my divorce and I'm still single, but may have finally found the guy of my dreams... We shall see..
On the other hand, my ex-husband began dating his current girlfriend rather soon after we sperated. Right after our divorce was finalized, they moved in together!! They're still together to this day and perfectly happy and really good for each other.. So.. as I said, it's different for different people..
Factors to consider: Age, length of marriage, age at marriage, horniness factor, rebound factor.. etc..
They're not married.
How long has she been with the guy? Have no idea--I didn't ask. If she wants to tell me, she will.
I don't really want to fuck around. I get attached and, once that happens, it's tough to let go and jump into bed with someone else. If I need sex, I can wank to pornos (which is what I do--it satisfies the carnal lust factor, but I still feel lonely after). Plus, maybe I'm just too lazy to constantly be hunting for some new pussy LOL! I like the comfort of knowing it's THERE when I get home.
