This.  There have been a couple of threads over the last couple of years that indicate most women don't take their husband's last name anymore, at least in the DC area.  Other people get divorced and the DW doesn't change her last name back for whatever reason.  There have been threads on that here, too.  Like the one where they got divorced and he got remarried, his new wife took his last name, and the ex-wife kept his last name.[/quote]

It's funny.  I participate in an activity where there is a guy who has been a long-time member.  His first, second and third (current) wives are all a part of the same activity.  They all kept his name.  The first year or two after each divorce were a little messy, but at this point, all three are actually comfortable friends.  First and third wives are particularly good friends (they were friends for many years before he finally married wife #3).  And it hasn't happened often, but I can think of at least 2 occasions where the three wives were on a team together and they just called the whole team "Team Smith" for the event. [/quote]

Is the guy gay? Because otherwise, this is just weird. I mean, no one has to be bitter enemies, but the idea that three unrelated women are just hanging out together with their ex-husband is weird. If he's gay, and they each just kind of did their time for a payout, then I guess I get it.[/quote]

Not even close.  He's a womanizer.  He married wife #1.  Divorced her and had a long-time live-in GF (almost 10 years).  He cheated on her with woman who became wife #2.  He then cheated on wife #2 with wife #3.  Wife #2 is the only one who might feel bitter, but he married her for her money and she made sure he got very little out of the divorce.  She was bitter until she found a new guy who she is happy with.  After she was happy again, she became friendlier with the others.  Not great friends, but comfortable.

This activity has a long history of intermarriage and people still being friends after divorce.  There was one classic where a couple divorced, and each remarried and later the two couples became good friends.  The son once came up to register a team of "Mom & Dad and Mom & Dad" and everyone know who the team was.[/quote]
