Is it wrong to keep my ex-husband's last name?

It's his name so I think he has the final say. You should ask him.

You have to keep leaving her alone. If there's ANY hope for this relationship right now, it's only going to occur if you stop trying to cling to her and trap her. Read here https://tr.im/l4PaM

If she sees you as a stalker, she feels that she cannot escape you. It's absolutely IMPOSSIBLE for her to value you and respect you when this is the case. There's a good chance it's too late already, but if there's even the smallest flicker of hope in her heart for you - you absolutely must stop sabatoging yourself like this!

You need to drop off the map. Stop doing whatever you're doing. Stop trying to contact her. Yes, she will leave you alone too. Even if she does end up coming back to you, it will likely take the better part of a year before that happens. The reason for this is because she needs to develop a different opinion of you. She needs time to see that you're not the creepy, verbally abusive stalker that she had you pegged as. If she still cares, she will get in touch with you then. At that point, you may have gotten over her yourself. But either way, you need to stop trying to make something happen with your ex. This is something that you simply cannot control. Stop behaving out of desperation and let go.

My best friend did this, mainly because her kids from her first marriage have her ex's last name and one of them is still in school, so it makes it easier when enrolling her in school. Plus, she likes the last name she had, not her maiden name (her maiden name is Knack and her previously married name is Miller). To add a hyphen and put the new husbands name to it is so she can also have the new husbands last name out of respect for him. It is NOT illegal to do this. It is becoming more popular, tho. When people get married, it is up to the woman to decide what last name she wants to have (married name, maiden name, or another name), and it is the same when she gets married. I don't see this as a way to disrespect your husband, the kids, o9r her husband. I think it is a way to respect all of you.

You already have your husband's last name, so you do not need to legally change it to his last name, you did that when you married him. It is very common to keep the name you married, especially when you have children from that marriage. When the final hearing for your divorce rolls around, state that you will be keeping your married name, and that is all there is to it! (^_^)

No, I know a few people who kept their ex's last name. After a while it becomes a part of you and its not only about being married to that person in your case...its about being the same as your children and I find nothing wrong with that.

I am divorced and I kept my ex-husband's last name because of my child. It's too much hassle changing it back to my maiden name and my maiden name sounds boring and my married name sounds chic.

No its not wrong after all he was husband before the divorce and beside alot of divorce women still keep their ex's husband last name Tina Turner did it

No, it is not wrong at all. This is especially convenient since you have children and will spare them from being asked, "are you adopted?" or "are you foster children?" or "did your real mom die?" I got asked all these and more when my mom got remarried. It's especially smart if you have no intention of getting married again. God bless you. I wish the best for your family.

After breakup I was devastated. When I realized that we were truly over with no hope of ever getting back together I cried and cried. But we got married and we are now big family with a beautiful baby girl https://tr.im/bKEMp

My wife kept her ex's last name til we got married...

My step daughter wanted her to hyphenate my name on to hers...she said no.

Somehow, if she did that, I don't think we'd have made it 14+ years.
