Interesting thing about that is that, while it’s still common practice, a lot of more left-leaning women did away with taking their husband’s name years ago
Yeah my wife and I just kept our name. Its funny because over the years we sorta wish we would have done the traditional thing as it would make a variety of things easier but now apparently its becoming a brilliant move.
yeah its more problematic for official stuff really. like being in the hospital. Its not much but like you tend to have to make it more clear your the spouse.
yeah it was a slow burn annoyance and she gets annoyed by it more than I but it took like 20 odd years to be like. This is sorta annoying. EDITED - hey so im rethinking and it started at about the 10 year mark and built up over time but as I said its little things. My wife has a lot of medical issues though so we might have more nuisance around it than the typical couple.
We all got our struggles. Ours are shitty and I’m sure you guys have shitty ones too. Fucking life is shitty. All we can do is try to help our people out when we can.
My mom never took my dad’s so I grew up with that being the norm, so I took it step further and my partner and I are not even married despite being together 11 years.
Yeah my partner and I didn’t get married until 8 years deep, and that’s going steady. We were fucking on and off for years before. We did it to appease our family. Never had any kids thank the hole in the ozone.

My wife did the same, but for unofficial stuff, she uses my last name as hers.

ID with the same address usually solves this for me.
a little conversation usually does but sometimes, if she is conscious, they have to verify with her and it can take a bit if they are to busy.
We got married ten years ago and she didn’t take my name. I’m very much cool with it, and it’s got easier over the years.

Left leaning women are also far less likely to get married to begin with.
The article actually points all of that out, it will be Republican women who mostly are disenfranchised by this.
In a sort of twisted way that could result in a blue wave if they disenfranchised ~half of their own voters and not the left.
They’ll presumably remedy this by giving husbands extra votes on behalf of their wives and children, as in Franco-era Spain.
My wife didn’t take my last name and I’m so glad.

Tbqh i don’t know if we are ever gonna get married, just because it’s not the main priority, but I do make sure he’s my beneficiary for most things.
I took my spouse’s name because I hated my old one.
But I will happily be a class representative for the lawsuit against this bill.
Power to you!! Totally get wanting to change your name, people have plenty reason to do so!
