Huh, I guess everyone has their own experiences eh.
Based on my personal experience, I'd say give it a chance. My Wife was still married when we began dating. She had been seperated from her ex for about six months, but hadnt began the divorce proceedings yet because of the cost. Today when we talk about our first date, she refers to it as a "Grilling Session" where I wouldnt stop asking questions about her ex (When did he move out? How are things between you and him? Do you still have feelings for him? Does he still have feelings for you? Is he going to hit me with a large pipe when we walk out the restaurant door?). She answered truthfully and I believed her.
Despite the awkwardness, you have to ask those kinds of questions and know exactly what's going on. Her relationship with her ex *will* effect you and your new relationship, in a great many ways. Plus, if you get her to talk about it enough she'll tell you all the stuff he did that led to the divorce - a handy guide of "Things that really piss this woman off and should be avoided at all costs."
Good luck!
