Not having been married/divorced with kids I can’t speak to your response very well; but it would appear to me that you are no longer family with the ex. You are family with the kids and he is family with the kids, but not to each other. But like I said, I only say that having not lived through it.

And I totally agree with your second point, about it being her choice. I never said otherswise. It just wouldn’t make sense to me for her to make the choice to keep it. That’s all. To each their own though.

Wow, b, the similarities are striking!

I too hated my last name all my life and was only too glad to switch to my husband’s name. It’s alliterative, easy to spell and pronounce, and works well with my first name.
