[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right, being called pathetic or a man child by a bunch of lonely women on the internet is going to change my mind

If you don't hear things like this in real life, it's because people know you would respond like you have here and they don't even bother sharing their real opinions with you

She's a good wife. Just wish she changed her name. After this thread I realize I don't care much about her changing it legally, [b]I'm more interested in using our family name socially[/b]

NP here.  Why is it so important to you?  Do you think that you're somehow less of a family if you don't share the same name?  Do you feel like less of a man if your wife doesn't use your name in your social circle?  It sounds like you're more concerned with how others view you and your family. [/quote]

I spent my whole life imagining having a "Smith" family but ended up falling for someone who wants a Smith/Jones family

If I hadn't cared about it in the past, maybe it wouldn't be important to me now, but it is

To answer your questions, to a degree I'd say yes and yes

This topic will become more urgent/important when we have school age children so I'll revisit it in a few years to see if either me or my wife have softened our views on things[/quote]
