[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate that my wife kept her name. It's one thing I would change about her and our marriage if I could. It's embarrassing to me and makes me sad that we will never be able to send out Christmas cards from the (last name)[/quote]

I kept my last name yet always send out Christmas cards from the “Smith” Family. I also tell my friends to go ahead and use my husbands name when sending things so I receive a lot of mail to the “Smith” family. I don’t care the my last name is not specifically mentioned on the card, wedding invite, etc.  Socially we go by my husbands name and professionally I use my name. I also don’t have an issue being addressed as Mrs “Smith” by the kids teachers.  If your wife has issues using your name socially then maybe it is time for a discussion to figure out why she is so adamant to not use your name.  Her explanation may help you understand the issue but I am betting this is a control thing on your part if you are embarrassed by this. Honestly, this would be a huge red flag if my husband was embarrassed. [/quote]

This is exactly my scenario.  We are the HisLastName Family.  I answer to Mrs HisLastName if someone uses it.  It isn’t a big deal.  Occasionally someone will use my last name for my kid and we all laugh.  Because everyone who knows us knows that the cat has my last name and the kid has his.  [/quote]
