Back in May when I left my husband I didn't think I'd be bothered about returning back to my maiden name.



My Decree Absolute came through this week and now I'm not so sure.



Did you go back to your maiden name?

Does it confuse the children?



Not sure I like the thought of being a 'Miss' or a 'Ms'

Yep - I changed mine back to my maiden name after each divorce so the kids wouldn't be confused. :wah:

if you do, be sure to do it legally. My solicitor told me I could call myself whatever I wished as long as I wasn't trying to defraud people. Bad advice. It caused loads of problems years later.

I kept the name, made it easier for the children. Still keep it today, but it is hyphenated in my last name.

So you wont be B Boop anymore ?

Is our marriage legal? Is there something you need to tell me honey?

Why was she considered attractive ? I never thought so. The Pamela Andersons and Jessica Simpsons ? YUK !

I kept my married name as I feel somehow it gives me some identity with my children. When I marry again it will be hyphenated with my new name, I better not get married more than twice or it might become really long.



I'll probably only use my new name but still have both officially.

Before i met my wife Nikki, i was also a divorcee. I remember that approximately 18 months after proceedings are started, then you get a Decree Nisi. It becomes a Decree Absolute 6 months after that.

How did you get divorced so quick???

If you are proud of the family name that you were given by your parents, then you use it girl!!!

If the reason for the breakdown of your marriage was the fault of your husband, then why keep your name the same as his??? At least this way, you can now move on with your life, and join the B.A.B Club (Born Again Batchelor).

Being a Born Again Batchelor was fun for me because, up until i met my second wife, i had four different relationships on the go at the same time!!! LOL

Its just like being single, but with the added wisdom the you have gained from being married.



My Very Best Wishes To You
