Dear christianhusband I'm going to put a different perspective on this for you that perhaps will ease the hurt in your heart. I am a woman that never took my husband's name. Why? I was born with my name. I wore it for all my life. It was part of my identity - where I came from, who I was. To change it to the name of the man I loved was ok in theory, BUT it erased my history and my identity too...instead I was then wife of (and just 80 or so years ago I would have also been property of) _______________ .
Perhaps she's not trying to get rid of your name, just reclaiming her history and previous identity. HTH. (((Christianhusband)))
