Changing Names or NOT : )

My ex and younger wife would LOVE it if I changed my name. For some reason the new wife doesn't want to share the name with me! Since it has been my name for over 20 years (I'm kinda used to it), I've decided to keep it! If it annoys them, well thats an added benefit!

love this

Name Change

I also didn't want to keep my ex's name, but instead of changing back to my maiden name from 25+ years ago, which was difficult to pronounce and spell, I took my grandmother's last name and feel like a new person!

I've been debating about changing my name back to my maiden name. I wasn't going to do it at first, because my children are young and might be confused. Then I figured, if he doesn't want me, why should I want his name? It's just a daily reminder of who I'm NOT anymore. I talked to the kids about it and they were okay with it. So, I'm going to change back and find myself again.

Looks good...

I'm the same way. I live in a REALLY remote place from civilization, so it's nice to not feel so removed from the reality I'm living..

good stuff

I like each of your POV... above because you're expressing it! More women should know about this site. It does help to quell the anxiety of loneliness ---

I changed my name back

But it's nice to see the discussion over it. For me, I just felt I needed the liberation. Keeping my ex's name seemed to weigh on me. It was a bit of an anchor for me moving on beyond that part of my life. I would suggest to any woman to move on, and start fresh

I'm 31, and divorced

It's nice to see other in my age group talking about divorce. I've felt a little isolated. No one in my social network of friends seems to be in any way close to what I'm going through, which makes it hard to reach out and get feedback from friends. I mean, there love and support has been great, but none of them have been through it. I'm not blaming the, I'm just saying it's nice to actually think there others going through what I'm going through... anyway... thanks for supporting the cause, so to speak .... Jamie

I like it

The "D Word"

What an awesome show! I'm looking forward to seeing what the women have to say. Divorce is so different for people in their 20s and 30s, esp. if you don't have kids. Looks like fun...
