[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 1469507, member: 852"] His last name... I don't have any problem with that. I figure there's enough families out there where parents and kids have different last names that it shouldn't be a big deal for school etc. If I were to add his last name and have two last names... Dr MM maiden name married name... that would probably eliminate any potential confusion on that end. No, I feel both are important... but after working the last 15 years to get into vet school, get through vet school, work as a vet, etc, that's a pretty big part of my identity. It is going to be a huge piece of work to change licenses in two states and all the associated paperwork. We get married and I go from Dr MM my last name to Mrs his last name, that's a significant change. He was Mr his last name before and he'll still be Mr his last name after. Why should all the changes happen to me? lol. He asks why I don't want to be part of "us" - I do - I just don't want to give up the part that is "me" in the process of becoming "us." Does that make sense? Anyway, I do appreciate y'all's input. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
