Helloooo...just trying to figure out what to do! I am getting married in April and last night, my fiance and I started chatting about changing my last name. I am all for it except for the fact that he was married once before and she kept his last name (mainly because of laziness, it was "too much work" to get it changed back)..That got me thinking about hyphenating it so I can have the best of both worlds. I just think it's weird to share the same last name as his ex...but he got offended when I suggested the hypenation (is that even a word??) Has anyone else been in a situation like this? Am I overreacting? Should I just get over it and then we will all share his last name like one big distorted family...??
