Would like some perspective on this please.
I’ve been with my partner for a number of years and I’m only just going through the process of divorcing my ex. Several reasons why its took so long but money was a factor.
(I was separated two years before I met my new partner, he was not an affair)
Anyway, he feels very strongly that I should not be keeping my married name after the divorce. Says it’s ’another man’s name!’
However, it’s been my name now for a long time. I HATE my ‘maiden’ name! I like my name now, it’s my children’s name (young adults now) I also have to write my name for work many times a day. It’s just who I am now!!
I really don’t want to go back to my old name but my partner is so worked up about the prospect of me keeping my married name after divorce.
Thoughts please as I’m losing track of what’s reasonable.
