Okay, here is my somewhat unique situation. I am the one who is filing for divorce and have already moved out three months ago. We both consider this to be a happy and amicable divorce and we've had a handful of long discussions about why it hadn't been working for either of us the past several years--We both discovered this at different times. Neither of us had any affairs--in case anyone is wondering.
I still want to remain friends with her and she wants the same. We've already split up all our personal property and vehicles WITHOUT a single argument.
We never had any children together, or any other children in the home, so none of those issues exist for us. All our friends and family say we both look and act happier now than we did late last year.
All the paperwork is ready to go and I'm filing the petition in two weeks. Oh, and because of the lousy economy, neither of us wants to ruin our credit ratings so there is literally NO drama here at all.
Is there any reason why I can't or shouldn't date during my happy divorce?
I'm not looking to jump into a relationship any time soon. I just want to remain socially active and be positive and optimistic. Thanks...
