Am I the asshole for refusing to change it?"
For context, “My ex-husband, a 38-year-old man, has been dating this woman for three years.
My ex and I were married for 12 years and have been divorced for five years.
We have three kids together who are now teenagers.
“This has been the case until last year when his girlfriend moved in with him.
He told me I could askanyoneabout this situation, and everyone would agree with her.”
So, nowu/ThrowRAHappyLivingwants to know if she’s the asshole for refusing to change her last name.
Safe to say, people had maaannnnny thoughts, and we’re pretty much exclusively on her side.
One personwrote, “Not the asshole.
“u/ThrowRAHappyLivingactually tried this as a solution, but it did not go over well.
Many others provided solutions.
The future new wife and you won’t have the same ‘married name.'”
It honestly makes sense to have the same last name as your children.”
She said he apologized and admitted he was in a bad spot to make his fiance happy.
For OP’s sake, I hope that’s a wrap on this drama.
I’m genuinely curious if this has happened to anyone else!
