I've been married for 17 years. I didn't change my name at the time and am Ms Monkey on everything, driving licence, passport, bank, tax etc. etc. My PIL were a bit put out when I said I wouldn't be taking their son's name. Ever since, if they send anything to me like a birthday card they just put 'Reg' on the envelope because they can't bear to write 'Reg The Monkey'. No problem. However, today I got two birthday cards from relatives of husband, addressed to 'Mrs Dear Husband', when they all know my name is Monkey. Why won't they accept it? Why do they ignore my name and my wishes? I might just be having a bad day because tomorrow is a huuuuuuuge birthday and I'm pissed off about it. So, AIBU to expect people to use my name?
