When my husband and I got married a couple of years ago I decided to hyphenate my last name with my maiden name-husbands surname but my husband decided not to change his. His parents often refuse to acknowledge that I have a different surname which is frustrating but they do lots of annoying things so I just chalked this up to them being awkward. However, I have noticed that other people do this as well and I have to keep correcting them (and then feel like I am being pedantic). The latest issue is that we are moving house and I have been the one to interact with the estate agents and organise everything on our side. I have filled out numerous forms with my surname and have my surname as part of my email address. Yet when I received the first official and legal document from them today they have got my name wrong and referred to me as Mrs husbands surname (I won't even get into the annoyance I feel as my title is Dr!). AIBU to expect people to get my name right??
