I am due to get married next year. I've been married before, and have my XH's surname. I like the name and I've used it now for nearly a decade. I still like and keep in touch with his family. I didn't swap back to my maiden name because it was a faff, I didn't like it, and I'm published with XH's name so professionally it makes sense to keep it.
My DP would like me to take his surname. I've been very open about discussing it and so has he. I'm not sure I want to for all purposes. I'm considering sticking to my current name.
What would you do? I don't know why I'm so attached to XH's name, as I'm neutral about him and we have no contact at all.
