My xh does not deserve someone like me carrying his name around. The trashy little ow can have it...I want mine back! Step 1: Fingerprints on Monday that will be sent to the FBI Stay tuned....

He didn't really mind.... This May is going to be the best May of my entire life. I'm changing my name and going off to pray in India (just like the movie)!!!

It is amazing how something like that changes your entire perspective. 2 years after ex left - I went on a spiritual journey with a group led by my counselor to the Amazon jungle. It really cleared my head and I focused on what I really wanted. Josh came into my life a few months late. I felt I manifested him. There were other things happening to me at that time too that had special meaning and gave me hope for a brighter Tommorrow. Wishing you the best & can't wait to hear about it. On the name change - I feel the same as kml Barb

My fianc� kept her X's last name as she is raising her three children who bear his name and believed it would make life easier. Now as we wed she has given great thought to the matter and decided to return to her maiden name, what she had planned to do when her children got older if she remained single. She has asked how I feel about her choice and we discussed it as recently as last night. I'm totally OK with it as I feel the choice is hers to make and I am confident in our relationship and marrying the person she is, not her name. "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet..." "The answers are within you" (can't remember who). Unfortunately, so is the bullshit.

I do thinks it is rather funny that people just assume I dropped his name. It is my own unique last name and I have had it as long as I didn't now. kat Me-53(and learning!)

My friend said since my last name is hyphenated right now to just start using only the maiden name portion. I think I will!
