The important thing is to discuss the definitions of each with your own spouse IMHO.

A WS will typically pretend that a separation is as good as a divorce and that therefore it's not really adultery if they have sex with the OP...

Of course they may not have explained it quite that way to their BS... They know darn well that the BS isn't dating anyone because they aren't divorced yet. And they know that the BS never agreed to tolerate the OP's involvement with their spouse.

First step in any contractual agreement, including marriage:
Define the terms.

In my state, one has to be LEGALLY SEPARATED (not living together, everthing separate, no sexual contact) for one year in order to get a DIVORCE, ending the marriage.


I made it happen..a joyful life..filled with peace, contentment, happiness and fabulocity.
