Today, I got back to work. Last week, my divorce was finalized and my last name is, once again, my maiden name. Since I'm a teacher, all my students will remember me by my ex-husband's last name. I get to be reminded every day that my marriage failed until everyone memorizes my maiden name. FML

Sucks for you, OP. but do they have to call you by name every time? Can't they just say 'miss' ?

Have them call you Ms. (Whatever letter your ex-husband's name started with) that way it isn't as painful.

My seventh grade science teacher had the same problem. The students in the high school called her by her first husband's last name, and then she got divorced from her second husband, and remarried the father of a kid in our class. So then we called her by her second husband's name, the kids ahead of us called her by her first husband's name, and even the kid whose father she married refused to call her by her newest last name. I still think of her by her second husband's last name.

There was a teacher like that at my school. In a year or two, they'll get used to it.

This is why most teachers don't change their names. It's so confusing for students to have to start calling a teacher something else every time they get married or divorced.
