[quote=Anonymous]My family does this, as do my in-laws. It's incredibly rude and passive aggressive and I pull no punches with them on it. Whenever DH gets all huffy about it ("why are you making such a big deal out of this?!") I start calling him by my last name for a week and eventually he'll apologize. No such luck with the rest of them. It's been 17 years, my parents finally reverted back to addressing me by my actual name, but my brothers have not. Nor have my in-laws. My SIL (DH's sister) is absolutely adamant that I must go by my DH's last name, that is shows commitment and one family and all that BS. She's on her second marriage (two weddings in 8 years!), so I used to address things to SILFirstName SIL'sExDHLastName. DH has since taken over addressing all things to her.[/quote]
