When I first started posting here on the discussion forum, I wasn't sure who I was anymore. I chose the name I used because I thought that if my H found out I was posting, he would be less offended if he knew people could tell right off I was married. Anyway, that was then, this is now. Does it confuse people when you change names? Should I announce it 1st? I just want to be something other than Dougswife, at least here.

I think it's up to you if you want to change it, and it will change on all your old posts, too, unless you re-registeer with a brand new Identity. If you go to your "home" and change it there, it shouldn't be very confusing. I've seen others just mention it in their posts at first, but you don't have to do that.
I think you should do whatever you need to do to gather your strength for this battle.
It all does get better, I promise. The pain gets easier to carry, and you decide what you can live with or without.
Keep your chin up, and take care.

It won't confuse me, but I guess if a person missed the few postings they might scratch their head.
Just a suggestion,
Put your new name in and then in your information list at the bottom, type "formally known as Doug'swife"
In the end, I have nothing to lose but everything to gain, by trying to save my marriage.
