It would be a shock for anyone if they were suddenly forced to change their name after nearly two decades.
After so much time, it’s become a core part of your identity: you’ve probably built your social life and career around it. So, it seems unfair to suddenly demand someone make the change. It’s doubly unfair if there’s a written agreement that they can keep the last name after the divorce, like in u/ThrowRAHappyLiving’s case.
Sure, it might be a tad awkward when the entire family gets together during the holidays at first, but it’s nothing a bit of lighthearted humor and a dash of good manners can’t help with. Having the same last name is only a problem if you let it become one.Generally speaking, when a couple gets divorced, it’s a good idea to talk about whether or not it would be all right for the person to keep their partner’s surname if they’d changed it.
“Creating clear boundaries is another important aspect of the process. Just because you’re parting ways doesn’t mean everything has to be a battleground. Lastly, consider seeking help from a counselor or mediator. You don’t have to do it alone,” they said.
