2. No but a lot of people call me by my wife's last name

Edited on Wed Apr-18-07 09:22 AM by taterguy

I moved into her house and all the utilities, etc are in her name.

I'm more amused than insulted by people that assume we have the same last name.

I just realized your post was directed to GLBT. Sorry for the intrusion of a het.

3. We have talked about both changing our names to something different

But that seems awfully confusing.

5. I don't plan on getting married....

but if I were, I wouldn't want to do it. I'm still bitter about a straight marriage, so I'm a firm believer in keeping things separate.

6. No.

But I might hyphenate it later. I always thought I would would do that. But after my dad died, I wanted to keep my name as is.

With both my brother and father gone, I want to keep my name.

10. True true ...

Just here, getting married is a reality, so it's hypothetical. But IF I ever do, I will probably keep our own names.
