We just met, so I don’t know him that well, but he was honest from the beginning. He says he’s still married because of their son, and because his wife doesn’t want to get divorced right now. Apparently, South Korea has a fault-based divorce system. TIL.

    Not sure about South Korea but I was technically married for 2 years after we separated. It was just a pain to go find a lawyer and figure out how to serve them in another state.

    We weren’t living together so it was easy I assume for my partners to confirm I lived alone when they came over…

      Was legally married for 12 years but only together for 11 months. She ran off when our son was 2 months old. Tried multiple times to get a divorce. But courts don’t like giving divorce when the another party not able to chime in. Years later she reached out ask for a divorce so she could marry another man. Told her to pay for it. And eventually she did and we got that divorce.

      But I was always up front to all the women I dated. Never was an issue.
