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

Today, my boyfriend asked me to marry him, saying that the only thing he would change about me is my last name. I later told him that I wanted to keep my last name after the marriage. I'm now single again. FML
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’m getting married. My friends are all telling me that I’m not a “true feminist” since I’ve opted to change my last name to his. My last name is “Belcher.” FML
Today, I was talking to a new friend when I told him my last name. It’s hyphenated. He then left and declared me to be a "stuck-up bitch" who thinks she’s "too good to take a man’s last name." This is the name I was born with. FML
Today, my wife told me the main reason she married me is because I have a cool last name. FML
Today, my boyfriend said that he doesn't have to marry me because we coincidentally have the same last name. FML
Today, for what seems like the thousandth time, one of my new friends has cut me out of their life after I told them my last name. It’s hyphenated and I’m a woman, which means I'm “automatically” a stuck-up bitch. I'm not married, I was born with this last name. FML
Today, my father gave me his blessing to be married on one condition: that I keep my maiden name when I marry. My fiancé thought it would be "epic". My last name will be hyphenated to Cobb-Webb. FML
Today, my wife changed her name back to her maiden name. Why? So people would stop asking questions about us. We have been married for 15 years. FML
Today, my father-in-law decided to disown myself and his son, because my husband decided to hyphenate his last name. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your family are idiots and it's also not "the cutest thing ever" hearing that about my own relationships with other guys it's like being told "my relationship is real your's is cute in that you think it is" Good for you The logic is sound you want the same last name and you have brothers to carry on your family name if you don't do it this way then her family name dies with her. It's admirable what you are doing I commend you. People need to get over themselves. My step sister and her decidedly non asian husband, hint she isn't asian either, took a Japanese surname when they got married and no one gave them static about it.

that is a wonderful thing you're doing for your new wife, enabling her to continue her family name. very kind and thoughtful. don't let others make you feel bad or ashamed of for being gracious enough to do something that a lot of people are too short sighted to even consider doing for someone they love.

Don't listen to them. I like your decision. I might take my significant other's last name because mine is hard to pronounce and spell.

Haha that's hilarious just go traditionally and change her name to yours

I disagree with your reasoning but not necessarily with taking your wife's name. If your last name is Terwilliger and hers is Kickass, change it!

Looks like some ties need to be cut. There is nothing wrong with that at all. If they can't be a family and support you, they need to leave and not let the door hit them on the ass on the way out of your life.
