Ex-Wife Refuses to Change Back to Maiden Name, Angering New Fiancée: 'I can't see it from her side because I am a grown up, not an immature child'

When you're married, it's typically for the woman to take the man's last name. She doesn't have to; she can keep her maiden name, or the husband can take her last name. It's just a standard societal custom for the woman to take the man's. But what happens when you divorce? Apparently, it's pretty standard for the ex-wife to keep her husband's last name, especially if they have kids together. And in this story, that is exactly the case. Until the ex-husband's new fiance comes along. The finance is 14 years younger and intimidated by the ex-wife. According to the ex-husband, she thinks that because his ex-wife still has his last name, she's still in love with him (eye roll).

So, the ex-husband tells his ex-wife she has one year to change her name back to her maiden name. The ex-wife is completely beside herself. She refuses to have a different last name from her kids. Plus, his last name has been hers for 14 years. She's built a career off that name, and she's not going to change it. The people in the comment section were completely on her side. Luckily for us, she provided an update on the situation. We won't spoil it for you, but it's a happy ending for everyone involved. Keep reading below.
