I would certainly call off an engagement or file for divorce over a hyphenated name. Now I’m not married and never will be, and I don’t have kids that I know of and hopefully never will, but a hyphenated name is not something I’d be able to tolerate. Like I said, you simply have to draw the line somewhere.
Ok this is flat out crazy and frankly I don’t believe you. You don’t get to the point where you marry someone and commit to kids and then back out of everything because of a hyphenated name.
Unless you’re a deadbeat I guess.
“Mommy, where is daddy going?”
“Daddy is leaving and you’ll never see him again.”
“(sobbing) Whyyyyyyyy?”
“Because you have two last names.”
Give me a break.
Oh wait you love hyperbole. Ok.
