I see sexism is still rife. On the other side. But seriously, it's better to please your wife than your family as you and your wife is your own unit now.

My friend just had a similar situation, though they made the mistake not to tell his parents before the wedding. As his family heard it during the ceremony, his father and sister stormed out and won't talk to him ever since. I hope it goes better for you and your family will learn to live with it. I think it is a very sweet thing of you to do!

That's a sweet (and logical) thing for you to do, OP. FYL.

You are amazing OP. It is your choice to change your name, and it is an amazing gesture towards your wife and her family. Don't be afraid to do it just because it is outside social norms.

Your not pussy whip at all

Your family still has plenty of chances to carry on their name, your wife to be, had none. I respect you for choosing to go against the grain of "normality" for in the end, her & your opinions are the only ones that matter.

A bit harsh, no? Hope your wife's family is really great to compensate for yours :)

I'd rather have my balls in my future wife's hands than my own. That's a great thing you're doing for your fiancé.

Gayyyyyyyyyy

You are a true man for making your future wife happy(: Its your choice why even tell them for pointless negative opinions? Life is too short to deal with ignorant closed minded people.
