Not at all.

It bothers me a bit that he didn't take my name, though.

Dh got used to it quickly.

If people send a card to us, or something, it's just Mr. and Mrs. Goobster.

LOL

Re: If you didn't change your name when you got married

DH despises the fact that I still have my maiden name on my SS card and my bank account and credit card.

My name on SS is Gina Middle Maiden Married. The woman at SS said I would regret it, why do you care? I asked......
DMV wouldn't let me do that though.

No. He even thinks it is very funny when people call him Mr. (my last name).

DH didn't care what I did as long as I didn't hyphenate. It would have sounded like a had mouth full of marbles if I had hyphenated our last names. Chat Icon

Re: If you didn't change your name when you got married

Yup. I recently finally made it two last names and he still isn't happy. He really wants me to just take his and I'm the only in-law who hasn't, I'm the black sheep.

No, DH doesn't care. Although, I think his family may have some issues with it! I think DH just gets a little annoyed when he gets Mr. Mylastname.

Re: If you didn't change your name when you got married

No, it doesn't bother him at all. In fact, he has said that it would be weird if I did change my name. It's been mine for so long...and changing it wouldn't solidify us any more than we already are.

I'm not sure, but he keeps bringing it up

Maybe b/c I always tell him I'm waiting to see if the marriage sticks before I change it Chat Icon Chat Icon

he actually made a comment that its"customary", but I'm not sure if he was kidding

He is a very traditional guy

But, I just don't see why it matters

Re: If you didn't change your name when you got married

I hyphenated, and DH understood my reasons for wanting to... our children will have his last name and that he felt strongly about...

Honestly, our names dont sound fabulous together, but legally I wanted to have my name in there too- so cards and informal things I go by his last name...
