Woman Stands Her Ground When Ex-Husband’s New Beau Demands That She Change Her Surname: ‘You need to move on’

Welcome, women of the WWW. In the West, it is most common for women to take their husband's last name in place of their own surname after marriage. Some women nowadays consider this to be a rather archaic tradition, opting instead to keep their original last name or to simply tack on their husband's last name to their own - either with a space or a hyphen. If you do go the more traditional route, it can take a while before you begin responding to your new name, remember to introduce yourself with it, and finish updating all of your legal documents. However, after a few years, you become used to your new name, and it becomes a part of you.

In our story today, a woman who decided to keep her ex-husband's last name after their divorce due to logistic reasons and the fact that they had separated amicably, is later approached by him, demanding that she revert back to her maiden name. While her ex voices the demand, it is actually his new, insecure fiancé who is at the heart of the unnecessary drama. Get the full, juicy details down below.
