Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I’m considering a divorce. My father-in-law has never liked me and is very vocal about that, names like "bastard" and "prick" are common. My wife is normally very headstrong and takes no nonsense, but she lets him treat me this way so she must agree with him. The wedding was only a year ago. FML
Today, my stepfather decided he was no longer part of our family, and refused to come to family dinner, all because we're all women, and he isn't. FML
Today, my father in law drunkenly announced at dinner that he wished my husband had married my best friend. No one stuck up for me. Not even my husband. 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, 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 boyfriend said that he doesn't have to marry me because we coincidentally have the same last name. FML
Today, my father-in-law decided he was going to just completely take over our engagement party, so now my fiancé just wants to go to Reno and get married there. FML
Today, my father called me to ask what my middle name is. He apparently needed to know it to remove me out from his will. FML
Today, my dad, who lives hours away, called and told me he was getting married. Today. As in this evening. Guess I'm not invited. FML
Today, I mustered up the courage to tell my son that I would not be attending his sixth wedding. He responded by cutting access to my grandson. FML

I knew a guy who changes his last name when he got married because he never liked his last name and his wife only had sisters so it would have been the end of their last name. His parents were cool with it, but last I heard his paternal grandmother still sent stuff to his wife as Mrs. and then her husbands unmarried name out of spite. Some people freak out about this stuff.

Sounds like you're both better off without him.

Why is he suddenly changing his name? Apparently you are already married as you didn't cite him as your future F-I-L. Maybe it's just something spiteful that hubs is doing? I don't know enough to decide if he deserves it or not.

I would to. Why marry a guy if your not going to take his last name. Just be Domestic Partners then

If the only reason you can think of for getting married is taking someone's last name, or them taking yours, please don't get married.

At least he hyphenated! A very nice gesture.
