[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I kept my maiden name. We didn't end up having kids-if we had I'm not sure what we would have done.

I live in a more conservative area than DC and I've had some people (including a friend) judge me for not changing my name. It's funny, because this friend is divorced-she didn't change her name back after the divorce and plans to take her fiancé's name when they get married. She has told me several times that she thinks it's important that couples have the same last name (her passive aggressive way of telling me that that she doesn't approve of my choice). Whatever. That's cool if that's what she wants to do but don't judge me. [b]When she gets into that I just make a general comment about how people need to do what they feel is best for themselves (which I believe)[/b]. I think her judgey-ness comes from insecurity and she's a good friend in other ways so I try not to let it get on my nerves.

It's odd to me that people have so many opinions about how others live their lives. [b]Live and let live[/b]:).
