My soon-to-be-ex-husband and I split seven months ago after being together for 3.5 years. I struggled for several months, went to therapy (which I'm still doing), hid in my house for a while, started going out, repainted my kitchen, and am now finally feeling like I'm actually ready to move on. It hasn't been an easy road, but I've been doing things by myself and for myself, just being with myself, and I don't believe any relationship into which I'd get now would be a rebound.
I'm serving as a surrogate mother right now, and because of the pregnancy, I'm not allowed to file until the baby is born. There are papers stating the baby will be relinquished to its parents, my ex-husband will sign them, etc. The divorce is uncontested, and we have agreed on most things. There may be a little hashing to do, but nothing major. No custody issues, no property issues. He has moved to a different state.
Is it okay for me to date, even though technically papers have not been filed, knowing that the divorce should be finalized in March? I ask because I met a guy I really like, and I'm not sure how to proceed.
