[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are women expected to do it a show of commitment to the marriage and family, and love for their husbands? I don't know. Why are men expected to buy a ridiculously expensive engagement ring? I guess some traditions are just worth keeping, am I right, ladies?[/quote] I kept my name and do not think it should be expected for men to buy engagement rings. My (now) DH did buy me a very modest one...cheaper then our rent 12 years ago. I didn’t really want it...as I had tried to tell him. I like and do just wear my band. Though, I do see your logic that if a man springs for a ring that changing a wife’s name could be perceived as an similar show of commitment to the marriage. FWIW...I don’t mind being occasionally referred to as “the Smiths” or “mrs. smith”....but if I get a letter addressed to “mr and mrs HisName Smith” I will push back. [/quote]
