[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3173617, member: 13624"] I know a few women who have kept their last names after marriage, or chosen to hyphenate. One, a very good friend of mine, kept her last name after her divorce twenty years ago, and continued to keep it after her remarriage five years ago. She also had a thriving accountancy practice built under than name. A change of name would throw away thirty years' worth of name recognition and goodwill. I have no qualms whatsoever in saying she absolutely did [I]not[/I] fail to "fully 'accept' the marriage from the very start." And yes, there was a prenup, too. In some ways, there had to be--many professions restrict ownership of equity shares in professional corporations to members of that profession (only lawyers can own equity in a law firm, for instance), and he isn't an accountant. They also both have adult children and family properties that are intended to go to their respective families, not necessarily children who came along decades later. There can be many reasons for keeping names and making business arrangements. It doesn't necessarily signal a lack of commitment, just acknowledgment of reality. [/QUOTE]
