I think there is a distinction between dating and engaging in a relationship. I think casual dating might be o.k. I started seeing my current husband while going through a divorce with my first husband. We dated about 3-4 weeks out and began living together almost immediately. I will say it made that divorce almost painless for me. I now, however, am feeling it double-fold as I am getting a divorce from #2 after almost four years. In hindsight, it was a bad idea. I wasn't ready and was convincing myself that this new relationship would save me. I overlooked so much and am paying for it now.
