Question.

Part of the reason why I want to keep my last name is because I find it patriarchal and controlling for the man to force his name on the woman.

However, my husband says that is NOT a good reason to keep my last name.

I am torn because part of me feels controlled but part of me feels that he is right.

Suggestions or food for thought? thanks!
