[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's even passive aggressive.

[b]THEY DON'T CARE. AT ALL.[/b]

They just don't give a fig about your name. They don't care if it's your own, his or hyphenated. And 'respect for your choice'? Gimme a break. You are expecting too much attention to be paid to your little idiosyncrasies.

Cash your check and move on.[/quote]

Actually, it's the opposite. They are showing that [b]THEY CARE A LOT.[/b] And they're being very passive aggressive about it. So, you want me to believe that DH's family met his girlfriend, then she became his fiance probably after a few years and all that time they had no problem remembering her name. Somehow, the minute the marriage certificate is signed, they "forget" her name?

For all you people who say it's too difficult to remember your (female) family members names, how do you handle new coworkers? Do you never meet new people? You never make new friends? This is so confusing to me. Do you also insist on calling your married friends who changed their names by their maiden names? Do you just make up names for people as you go? I don't understand how you get through life like this. How do you keep your jobs/friendships? I'm genuinely curious. [/quote]
