A first

A gentleman I began seeing confessed he was married on our third date. Though he insisted it was just a “formality”, I have zero interest in any type of adultery, so I ran away as fast as I could. No regrets about doing so, but I am still sad as he was the first person I could see myself falling for in quite a while. Thanks again, dating apps.

Did you consider

he might have said that because either (a) he decided you weren't right for him and that was a way to get rid of you w/o having to hurt your feelings, or (b) he wanted to be able to use you for sex but keep you from trying to become anything serious and/or keep you from coming over to his place.

Huh?

You’re not committing adultery if you’re not married. Technically I suppose he is, but if he’s legally separated then it really is just a formality. My ex and I were legally separated for 5 years and both of us were in new relationships before we bothered with actually getting a divorce, and that was only because one of us wanted to get married to the new person. So I think you made a rush to judgement here that you probably shouldn’t have.

So Sad

would not tell you this on the 3rd date. Not a gentleman in any sense of the word, this dude.

I got involved with someone who insisted “ it’s been over for years” and that they decided to sleep with other people.... and boy did I learn. People can be very deceptive.

they were living in the same house for financial reasons but he had his own separate suite in the basement . Months later I saw that there was no suite in the basement and it seemed he always had to be home for the dinner hour.

Kudos for being true to you.

You deserve so much more than to play silly games with little boys. And sadly, they're a dime a dozen. A word of unsolicited advice? Ditch the dating apps. They magnetically attract creepy cheaters just hoping to latch on to their next victim.

But seriously…

Did you actually ask him if he was legally separated ? Because if he is, that’s almost as good as being divorced other than a very easily arranged piece of paper. You haven’t elaborated so I guess we’ll never know.

Legalities

Many people do not know that the government won't let you legally divorce unless you have been separated for at least a year.
