Saw a similar questioned asked on a first wife board once. On that board the majority were keeping their married name because they had kids and thought it would be easier for the kids. So far, this board seems to go for the maiden name more often. So, asking more into the question...If or when your ex re-married (if it were before you did) would it bother you to have the same last name as wife #2? Do you think to some extent by keeping the same last name as your ex you feel some sort of connection to them or is the irrelevant?

The reason I changed my name back was because I did not want to share my name with OW. They got married in December. It also was a marker for me. I felt like a new person. It's not a step everyone should take, though. Only if you are comfortable with it and your kids are too. I feel better with my maiden name. I feel like my own person again.<P><P>------------------<BR>Blessed be.<BR>****************<BR>Keridwen<P>Keridwen_7@yahoo.com

I hadnt thought of it as my to keep a connection. I just thought of it as my daughter and I are a family so WE have the same name.<P>I have no idea of his feelings on the matter.<BR>I know I want my own identity therefore no MRS.MISS or MS, I also dont want my maiden name of Tecklenburg, although my dad would like it because he had 4 daughters, maybe I will make up a new one.<P>As I was wife no 2 for stbx, at the moment he has no intention of remarrying anyone, or is that a lie too. He did say he will never remarry.<P>Maybe with time I will remarry then of course my name will change. Otherwise it is just something to think about and given time who knows
