This is a question that only you will have the answers to. I personally feel like it's best for you not to jump into a new relationship right after you just got out of another one. Everyone's predicament is not the same when it comes to a breakup. Also it just depends on how long you were with your previous partner. Just listen to what your heart is telling you and if it's sending you mixed signals then take some time to work on finding yourself and trying to figure out when it's best for you to move forward with someone else.

There really is no specific time you have to wait to date someone. Whenever you feel most comfortable and ready is a good time :)

You should wait until your partner has either been acting suspicious, or no longer to proceed to love you anymore, or you should tell he/she we should see other people, and try to avoid the tears and pain, but if you wanna go through stages of heartbreak i suppose you tell your spouse.
