[quote=Anonymous]Me- Married almost 30 years. Didn’t take his last name (and he declined to take mine). Children survived middle and high school without embarrassment over names. I’m sure we had worse sins than our different last names. I would not respect a man who was so invested in taking away my autonomy that he insisted I change my name to his and he did nothing. If he was invested in a ‘family name’ either we both change or neither. (Unless one of us had a last name like Gross or Butts or D!ck). My kids are fine. I’ve travelled overseas with them without issues. Why are they persistent myths about this? And why does it matter to a man what his wife’s name is so much that he insists she change something fundamental to her identity yet he does nothing to on a similar level?[/quote]
