My buddy Clinty who is a Catholic Philipino... i recall us having this discussion.
To him the idea that a girl NOT assume his last name was incredibly riddiculous and it was a HUGE big deal going aginst all tradition and blah blah blah and im sorry if she was keeping her last name, then he said there was no way in hell they were ever getting married.
i remember i was playing devil' advocate in this arguement and i was having alot of fuN! :D
It was certainly something he felt intensely about and would never budge an inch on |

Wow...if a guy breaks up over that then he must have not loved her at all.
I can tell you we've never had this issue come up. Ever.
I have some advise for those contemplating or just newly married....
The trick to marriage...is to never fall out of love at the same time.
Remember this, and you'll be happily ever after for a long time. |

In the name of tradition and family lineage i dont think i could marry a woman who wanted to drop my last name. Thousands of years of tradition should not go up in smoke just like that. If we hyphenate names what will happen in 2 or 3 generations? John Smith-Black-Jones-Brown???
no way! Its important to keep tradition and family name. Id maybe be willing to comprimise by having her keep her last name but definately not with the kids. No hyphens or funny stuff there.
Contrary to "progressive" thinking there is nothing wrong with tradition. |
so, she was the most perfect girl ever, she was smart, good looking, very nice, everyone including you loved her. You are planning on getting married and everything is great. She had one demand tho, she want the family to have her surname. Would you brake up then? :wtf: |

These kinda examples I find are very hard to properly consider... its never so black and white... and there'll be massive discussions on the issue if its REALLY IS such a big deal...
also, i throw out there... if Jayx1 or whoever refuses to budge NO MATTER WHUT on this issue, is the girl really willing to throw it all away too (bc if the bf wont budge, thats whuts happening) Both ppl really could be seen as causing the demise of the relationship
This is totally a 2way street and both parties need to figure out whuts gonna work for them! |

Actually, I see it as only one way for this to work. Both have to compromise. That's why her keeping the maiden name and then hyphenate his surname is the best compromise. If neither are willing to budge...then this relationship will never last. |
