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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I noticed that my mom still has me saved in her phone with my married name. I told her she could change it back to my maiden name. She said, "Not until it's legal!" My husband and I have been separated for more than 2 years and my divorce will be finalized in 2 days. She still won't change it. FML
Today, I got back to work. Last week, my divorce was finalized and my last name is, once again, my maiden name. Since I'm a teacher, all my students will remember me by my ex-husband's last name. I get to be reminded every day that my marriage failed until everyone memorizes my maiden name. FML
Today, my wife told me the main reason she married me is because I have a cool last name. 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 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, 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 noticed a prospective employer I had been networking with changed her last name on her e-mail signature. I wished the aquaintence congratulations on her new marriage. Her divorce was finalized this week. FML
Today, my wife is still angry with me, 11 years later, for not allowing her to give our son her surname. Damn you, your surname is your ex-husband's name. You never changed it back. How on Earth is it acceptable for my child to carry your ex's surname? FML
Today, I got a call from an ex, demanding to know why my Facebook relationship status was set as married. I got married a few months ago, and I quietly explained this to her. My wife overheard and now thinks I've been cheating all along. FML
Today, my husband is hurt and upset that our daughter legally changed her name the day she turned 18. I had to ask him, as nicely as I could, what the hell he expected when he named her Lisa and her last name is Simpson. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I don't get it either. What sort of questions would make your change your name? Unless, like, you have a ridiculous name and they were asking why the hell she took it? Or your last name is the same as her first name? Meh.

Maybe the wife is embarrassed to be associated with the OP? In which case, I really have to congratulate said OP for his taste in women.

It's sad that most women still feel the need to label themselves as their husband's property in the first place. Good for her.

It's sad that some women still think that men try to label women as their property. Not like there's thousands of years of tradition or anything... naw can't be that.

That's why my boyfriend and I are going to combine our last names :)

Yeah, what kind of questions? Like if you are gay or something? Changing her last name would just make people ask more questions. This isn't really FML

Divorce her. She's clearly embarrassed and it's extremely disrespectful =

maybe the husband is a dbag or abusive. maybe this is her first step at setting free. dont blame the wife, the husband could have done something bad. whoever's at fault, it looks like a divorce is necessary.

Divorce her, she clearly is done with the relationship, but doesn't want to take the last step.

Maybe they look alike and people mistake them for brother and sister?
