we've been arguing lately because I originally said I would but then changed my mind.
I like my name, I like being Mrs X because it reminds me of my mum. I said so and why wouldn't he take my name and he got all angst because that's not how it works and we're not giving them grandkids so he doesn't want to take away his parents name and we're not having kids so he's the last and there's nobody to carry on the name....
frankly I think that's a ridiculous argument - every thing he's said about why I should take his name is equally an argument as to why I should keep mine.
there is no Mrs X anymore, my mother's gone and my sister changed her name. I like being Mrs X. I don't see how it's so insulting that I should want to keep my own name, I'm wearing a wedding ring, it's not as though I'm not Mrs and people don't know I'm married or something.
