I still see a lot of people changing their last names, or at least combining the two names.

I think it's disrespectful when a woman doesn't change her name. Unless a woman's last name is prominent or a trademark to her or her families success/history, then she should just change to her husbands. No, I'm not religious - just have traditional views...but to each their own.

I think women should do what they are comfortable with and not let traditional gender roles dictate their behavior and feel as if they are disrespectful because they simply want to keep a last name.

In a lot of cultures / religions across the world , women don't change their last name . I'm a practicing Muslim and we are encouraged to keep our names because we don't automatically lose our identity when we get married .im from the West Indies and a lot of women there still keep their names also .

According to tradition, women are also basically property of their husbands. It may still be normal for them to change their name, but for it to be 'disrespectful'? To whom? Isn't it disrespectful to expect a woman to drop her family name? It should be up to the couple, it is in no way disrespectful to want to keep your family name.

Was it in a mean attitude, then? I can't really tell from the FML, though it sucks either way.

Either way she's still full retard bro. I'm sorry that you share a gene pool with that.

Very late reply, but no, she looked at me dead serious. I honestly think she truly believed it
