what are yalls thoughts on women not talking their husbands last name when they get married?

Anonymous 7w

i'm personally not changing my last name. but i'm still curious on what men think about it

Anonymous 7w

I’m kind of expecting the woman I end up marrying to have similar level of education that I’m going for and I feel it makes more sense for her to keep her last name so our titles don’t end up being the same

Anonymous 6w

Don't really give a shit. Her choice every time. Whatever she wants is what she wants.

Anonymous 7w

Their choice, my mom didn’t so I don’t really care that much

submission is a lost art

Might be a hot take but I just don’t care about tradition all that much, whoever’s last name sounds cooler ig lmfao

Anonymous 7w

I would hope she doesn’t take my name

Anonymous 7w

I’m not a man but it would feel kind of pointless for me personally. I’ve already changed my last name from my fathers to my mothers for personal reasons, so it would feel kind of pointless to change it again after the whole shabackle the first time. It wouldn’t be a dealbreaker or anything but I might be hesitant.

Don't care. My dad has my mom's last name, I might do the same thing just to keep the streak going 🤣 To me, it doesn't matter whose name gets picked, I just would prefer us and our kids to share a name

Anonymous 7w

My dad’s a prick so I don’t mind his family name dying out. That said I also don’t wanna force my kid to learn a 25 character last name. Beyond that I could truly care less.

I prefer it in my case

Anonymous 7w

Honestly I’d be a bit disappointed if my future wife doesn’t take my name. It’s not a dealbreaker, and I understand why some women want to keep their maiden name, but to me it shows more of a “union” or something, idk. Plus kids having hyphenated last names is always annoying af. I’m a bit old fashioned I guess

OP 7w

I don’t think you need to change it nowadays it’s usually just an addition. It’s mostly for formalities when having kids and all so everyone knows you belong to the same family. Like my parents have different last names on their ids and everything only on their passports it’s her last name and then my dad’s last name having both that way it matches.

she just kept her own last name, the one she was born with? she didnt choose her grandfather specifically😭

as someone with an unspellable last name i wouldn’t wish that on anyone either

OP 7w

Yeah… her grandfather’s name.

It would have been her maiden name which probably came from her dad not her grandpa, Grandpa may have never been in the picture and an unknown variable for all you know.

OP 7w

I’d be fine with it. I would at least like to have the last names hyphenated for the kids. Or the other option is we just pick which last name fits well for which kid.

So maybe you can be the one to show the artistry in being submissive?

I think you’re doing a fine job right now by replying to me.

If me replying to you in your head counts as submission, you must not interact with people much. Kind of an odd association. But okay!

And for everyone watching, see how #15 loses the fight and stops replying after I call him a Good boy? THAT is the art of submission.

He tried to fight back, only to submit once again. #15 once again demonstrates the beautiful art of submission.

He silently downvoted my comment without saying a WORD. Truly a man of submission.

you’re trying to do some weird gotcha and be like “ha! still a man’s name!” but like… women don’t keep their names because they want a “woman’s name” … their degrees have their last names, deceased relatives & siblings share their name, and its a legal pain in the butt… people have all sorts of reasons & it’s weird to make it a gender war thing 💀
