Jon Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I'm normally quite in favour of thread necromancy, but in this instance.... why? I believe ender4 is the guilty party here. :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 It's an ancient thread but I'll answer anyway. I'd like my wife to take my name (when I find a wife that is!). But if she really didn't want to then I wouldn't force her or make an issue out of it. ditto. Wouldn't be that bothered, if she really didn't want to. Plus, my surname is Arseface. :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieB Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I don't like having my ex husband's name but for the sake of the kids I kept it, it's awkward divorcing with kids. If I ever get married again I won't mind being Mrss...so & so.. but for business purposes it will have to stay as it is using my ex husbands because that's how I'm known. One thing I would say to anyone who's with someone long term & not married legally is for goodness sake MAKE A WILL!! If anything happened to one of you the other party has no rights under the laws of intestasy unless assets are held as tenants in common or jointly.

VillaEire Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I got married recently and my wife is taking my name......gradually. I suppose it is a hard thing to get used to for a newly married woman. She just can't get her head around it yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colhint Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 If they do object, suggest dropping a few of the other traditions aswell, like a big expensive white dress if they are not really a virgin or expensive engagement and wedding rings, that is, if the tadition thing isnt that important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hev Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I did and even though I'm divorced now, I have kept my married surname. If I were ever to remarry, I would expect to take their surname (unless it was something awful I suppose) - guess I'm old fashioned in some ways.

Pelle Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I'll probably take her name if I ever get married. Petersson is too common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
