Today, I got married. After the ceremony, my sister asked to talk to me. I followed her and she told me that we are no longer related because we don't have the same last name anymore. FML

Today, I told my family that I wanted to change my last name to my future wife's. We want to have the same last name, and we chose hers because she is an only child, while I have three brothers. Half of my family is laughing and calling me "pussy whipped" while the other half won't speak to me. FML

Wait, is this how she thinks it works or was she choosing to disown you?

Wait...Do women change their last names after getting married, these days? That practice is coming to an end from what I have seen.

I still see a lot of people changing their last names, or at least combining the two names.

I think it's disrespectful when a woman doesn't change her name. Unless a woman's last name is prominent or a trademark to her or her families success/history, then she should just change to her husbands. No, I'm not religious - just have traditional views...but to each their own.

I think women should do what they are comfortable with and not let traditional gender roles dictate their behavior and feel as if they are disrespectful because they simply want to keep a last name.

In a lot of cultures / religions across the world , women don't change their last name . I'm a practicing Muslim and we are encouraged to keep our names because we don't automatically lose our identity when we get married .im from the West Indies and a lot of women there still keep their names also .

According to tradition, women are also basically property of their husbands. It may still be normal for them to change their name, but for it to be 'disrespectful'? To whom? Isn't it disrespectful to expect a woman to drop her family name? It should be up to the couple, it is in no way disrespectful to want to keep your family name.

Your sister is dumb

IF your sister is some kind of radical feminist who finds the marriage-name-change thing abhorrent, she should have spoken to you before the wedding, not after. But, yeah... my bet is with most everyone else here: she's an idiot.

It must be slow and stupid relatives day on FML. Does she consider herself to be related to your maternal grandparents?

Hey guys! OP here! I didn't log in before posting this, but here let me give you a backstory. My sister is 17 years old, and @#29 she actually isn't a feminist she just thinks for real that if we both have a different last name we are no longer related. Thanks for all your comments, though! And I do agree, it is quite funny, just wish it hadn't happened to me. Lol!

Was it in a mean attitude, then? I can't really tell from the FML, though it sucks either way.

Either way she's still full retard bro. I'm sorry that you share a gene pool with that.

Very late reply, but no, she looked at me dead serious. I honestly think she truly believed it
