holla at me	NOOOOOOOOOO WWWWAAAAAYYYYY................... That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. I don't think that is possible because seperated means chance of being together again not anything permanent. I don't believe that should be able to happen and if she does then I don't think you should stay with her anyways if she wants a druggie instead. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

leahtastic	An engagement is the official declaration of saying you intend to marry someone. You cannot marry someone if you are already married without a nice spell at Her Majesty's pleasure. You may want to consider trying to cut the ties between you for your own sake or you are going to get tangled in a horrid mess unfortunately. If you want to be there for her as a friend that is your choice but to try anything else in this situation would surely be confusing and you did separate for a reason surely? Hope this helps.

ChaCha	No, you are still legally married to her. So if she marries him she'll be a polygamist. Even if you had signed the divorce papers you have to go through a waiting period (usually 6 months) before it is finalized. She would not be able to marry him until everything is final.

angel739902	YES. technically she can get engaged but she cannot actually marry someone else. Engagement is a promise of the upcoming marriage. Marriage is a legal contract. She is soon to ind out just how much paperwork it is going to take to undo the first. She may reconsider marrying the second time or take a breather in between. Was this answer helpful to you?

hot chocolate	Hello??? What is this? BIgamy?? Heck no! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jodi M	Sorry but I must be blunt with you. She does not love you, does not respect you, is using you. She is not worthy of your love. She is sleeping with a drug addict and you both. Consider what she may be bringing into the bed with her HIV or STD's. Honestly you can love someone that does not mean that you have to give up your dignity and self respect. Engagement is not a legal contract, you could be engaged to 12 people and it doesn't matter. She can and will and has been doing what ever she wants. You must send her packing, you will never be happy waiting for her to pick you. She is picking everyone but you. Sure she sleeps with you once in awhile, she probably just does that enough to keep you on the line. To keep you interested so you don't move on. I bet you give her money and support too. She is using you. There is a woman out there (not your wife) who would love you the way you love her, go find her. Divorce your disgusting wife, love is not enough! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

The Nana of Nana's	Yeah, but you can't get married. And it would sound rather stupid to say that you are married to one man and engaged to another. The best thing is to wait until the divorce and then make the engagement public. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Adie	Yes. You can get engaged to as many men/women as you like, just you can't marry more than one. The problem I see with this is that "engaged" used to be termed as "engaged to be married" and if there isn't the intention to get married why get engaged? Or is it a case of being engaged as opposed to being vacant (a bit like a public toilet)? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

caspatrust	It depends on your belief system. If you are asking this question especially on yahoo you I would say go ahead what would stop you. Its not against the law. If you consider your self Christian I would say go ahead, you have already committed adultery. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

usmchawkeye	obviously she can but it is not right by any means. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kimberly T	Big NO Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

babyashlie	Well for everyone that is saying he can get engaged no he can't because its not him. Its his wife that is engaged to the other man. If I were you I would sit down with her and explain that you still love her very much and find out why she made you leave. If she doesn't love you anymore then I would move on and find someone that does love for you. Its her lose not yours and I believe you are a man of your word go file for divorce and find the right one for you and never let go of that love. She will find out in the long run she was the one that blow it not you. Be yourself and be honest with her that is all you can do. Something else I would not be having sex with her if she is seeing someone else, even if he is a druggie he could have some kind of decease get out while you can. If you have kids together then you need to take them with you, don't let her have them because of her boyfriend. GOOD LUCK your going to need it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

brian k	engaged yes, married no. It's called polygamy. Illegal in most states except Utah. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

stonefishno1	nah, just shag 'm Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

hoffjob64	Yes she can get engaged while still married to you, but can't remarry until divorced. On another note, boy she's getting her cake n eating it, isn't she!!!. You need to tell her you want a divorce, she's got you wrapped around her little finger. You so need to get over this woman. If you got back together it would always be in the back of your mind, "is she having another affair". The real question here is what are you going to do. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tigerman	ahhhhhhhhh i don't think so. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

luvlisteningtomusic	You can get engaged while you are still married the problem is you will have to get divorced first before you marry him. I would be embarrassed to tell my friends and family I was engaged when I still haven't divorced my first husband. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sharlala	ummm...NO..becasue obviously she doesn't know WHAT she wants Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

HAPA CHIC	I guess anyone can say their engaged but to get married while your still married would be a crime and not allowed Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ndemo	don't think so Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

onelonevoice	An engagement is just a person saying that they intend to marry someone at some point. It is legal for her to not only announce an engagement,but to accept a ring from the guy. It is a lousy thing to do to you, however. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ricodog	Of course she can but she can't legally marry until she is divorced Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

megajen2000	Would not have thought so last time I check it was called Bigamy if she gets married that is. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Canyonfly	Yes she can but not married...Don't worry she probably is just going through a phase and will realize what a jerk he is and come running back ...Just give her some time. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mattb77	100% NOT legal Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Curious	I think you should be asking - "how long before I pick something up from sleeping with my separated wife who is sleeping with a druggie". Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ontheotherhand	Well, I can sympathize,. but gotta be honest. GET A DIVORCE- NOW. All you're doing is letting her yank your chain. A woman who gets engaged isn't trying to get back with you. Doesn't her engagment tell you that? Give it up- it's over. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

night	If she wants to, why not? Just make sure you get the divorce pappers signed before you get married again. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Joy	Honey, If she did not want a divorce she would not date or get engaged to another man. Sounds like she picked a loser with a drug habit to get engaged to, Why on earth would you want to subject yourself to whatever disease he may be giving her that she may be giving you. Aids kill and drug users are more susceptible to aids than anyone else. Take my advise and leave that alone Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

songkaila	Huh? If she doesn't want a divorce, no, she can't marry anyone else (except maybe in Colombia - supposedly they were thinking about passing such a law a while back). So how can she get engaged??? But since she married you, she should indeed stay that way. You guys have made a permanent change in your relationship by sleeping together. When you married, furthermore, you promised to keep yourself only unto him until death you do part. Presumably, you also became independent of your parents before you did this. So she is an adult, and is responsible for her actions(1). Now, she has not done this. It appears she is committing adultery, apparently without repenting. You do not have to get a divorce, but in this situation it is at least morally permissible because though it shouldn't have happened, she has in practice destroyed your relationship by going off with this other guy(2). Bottom line: You are still doing the right thing by keeping your promise. I wouldn't consider the situation absolutely hopeless unless she actually does marry the other guy. After all, God can help you rebuild your relationship(3). So for the time being, do what you can to repair your relationship and get back together. If all else fails and she marries him, then you are morally free. May God bless you Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
