Today, I told my family that I wanted to change my last name to my future wife's. We want to have the same last name, and we chose hers because she is an only child, while I have three brothers. Half of my family is laughing and calling me "pussy whipped" while the other half won't speak to me. FML

There is no shame in taking your soon to be wife's last name. Eventually your family is going to have to accept that. You are still going to be the same person just a different last name.

I've never seen a marriage where a man gave up his last name be successful. In each case the woman cheated since she was the man of the relationship. Good luck.

You're a hero for standing up to tradition and your family. Don't worry, they'll have to accept it sooner or later. At least you can be proud you saved the illustrious name of the Kuntz family from oblivion.

It's an unusual choice in our society, but if that's what you both want to do - go for it!! And I feel for you that your family won't support your mutual decision
