Anonymous(45 Plus)1 yNo I wouldn’t. It’s not traditional. My family is more traditional. Even if someone want traditional, more than likely the girl is the one who wants marriage so the least she could do is take his last name.

Asker1 yWhat if you had a girl who didn’t like your family.
Asker1 yQuestion mark I meant
Opinion Owner1 yWe wouldn’t even be together. She’d be on her way out the door.
Asker1 yOk but why does my brother allow it?
Opinion Owner1 yOh his girlfriend doesn’t like your family?
Asker1 yHis wife doesn’t and she wants him to take her name.
Opinion Owner1 ySounds like your brother is more feminine. Like she’s the one who wears the pants in the relationship. So they’re already married but he still has his last name? Sounds like he’s too scared to stand up to her. Like she’s always telling him what to do.
Asker1 yYou are exactly right and I don’t like it.
Opinion Owner1 yOk let me ask you, was your father there to raise your brother?
Asker1 yYes , I don’t know what my brother’s problem is but I don’t like it.
Opinion Owner1 yOk. Now look at your dad. Is your brother similar to him as well?
Asker1 yMy dad doesn’t be allowing a woman to control him he has a voice to stuff that isn’t right.
Opinion Owner1 yOk. So your mom isn’t loud, talks back to your dad or belittles him?
Asker1 yHell no my mom doesn’t be doing that.
Opinion Owner1 yOk. Your brother leaned this somewhere. Chances are he’d be w a submissive woman as well if your dad was living w you guys all your life. On the other hand men tend to not like confrontation. So he may not want to get into it w her. He’s concerned that he may lose her. Women on the other hand have no problem arguing w their dads or moms. Men don’t.
Asker1 yOk what should I do about it because they stuff is ridiculous?
Opinion Owner1 yHonestly nothing you can do till he realizes it himself. There’s been a number of women who do the same. Take their boyfriends side over their family’s even though they can all clearly see he’s being abusive mentally n physically. May I ask if you happen to know what exactly it is about your family she doesn’t like
Asker1 yIt is really no reason for it she is just a bitch and controlling.
Asker1 yI guess she doesn’t want us around because she doesn’t like us telling my brother about her.
Opinion Owner1 yMore Han likely yes. She doesn’t want him to realize that she’s the problem because he may finally realize it n leave her. So when they got married did you all go to their wedding?
Asker1 yWe wasn’t invited to the wedding.
Opinion Owner1 yI’m sorry to hear that. I’m sorry but your brother had no balls. To not invite his entire family. He should have said no. They’ve been married how long?
Asker1 yFor three weeks.
Opinion Owner1 yOh wow. Well I don’t expect this marriage to last. She will get tired of him and divorce him. How long have they been together?
Asker1 yOnly two months and she doesn’t work anywhere and she sleeps all day.
Opinion Owner1 yWhat. Ok makes me think he must have never really had a girlfriend or something to marry the first girl after only a couple months. Like I said she will get tired of him. He’s not manly enough for her. She likes to control things right now but eventually she will get tired of it.
Asker1 yHow do you know?
Opinion Owner1 yBecause a majority of women don’t want to be the man in the relationship. Eventually she will meet a man who’s more dominant, possibly cheat on your brother. I mean would you want to be the one in the relationship who always tells your husband what to do? To plan dates, pay for the bills, etc?
Asker1 yOk but why is he putting up with him now?
Asker1 yShe I mean
Opinion Owner1 yCause she can control him. She probably gets what she wants out of him. She use him for as much as she can.
Asker1 yHow come my dad tolerates a woman that he sees is no good for his son but when it comes to his daughters a guy like that would not be allowed?
Opinion Owner1 yBecause men are raised to be protective of the women in their life. As a man if you’ve raised him right you trust he will do the right thing. But I don’t understand why your brother is like this, opposite of his dad. Has he had a lot of relationships before?
Asker1 yWho my dad?
Opinion Owner1 yNo your brother?
Asker1 yNo this is his first.
Opinion Owner1 yI see. That’s probably why he took the bait w this girl. Like I said I’m sure she will use him for so long then divorce him, probably cheat on him before than. She will get tired cause he’s too feminine sounds like it.
Asker1 yHow is she going to sleep if she has no car and sleeps all day?
Opinion Owner1 yDoes he work? He can’t be w her 24 hours a day. Women like that don’t respect men like your brother. He’s not exciting, he’s probably boring, doesn’t Stevie w her. He’s a yes ma’am type of dude that women don’t want.
Asker1 yHe goes to school and works two jobs
Opinion Owner1 yYeah that’s the perfect time for her to cheat on him. Like insistent last. I feel bad for your brother because he probably actually cares for his girl. How old is he? How old is she?
Asker1 yHe is 23 and she is 19 but how is she going to be able to cheat if she has no car though?
Opinion Owner1 yHow? By having another dude drive over to their place. Maybe even cheating there in their bed or the dude taking her someplace to cheat. These days everyone has access to just about everyone. Men are willing to nail whatever they can. I’m sure she could easily meet someone online. Maybe she even knows other dudes she went to school w that she can hook up with.
Asker1 yShe isn’t cheating soon enough for me I wish she hurries up and does so the relationship can end already.
Opinion Owner1 yI get how you feel but that’s the worst thing that could happen. Your brother is going to be devastated. Have you talked to him?
Asker1 yNope does no good I have to pretend to like her. But I don’t know why people marry people if they only planned to use them.
Opinion Owner1 yShe’s obviously got some issues. I just hope things don’t turn out too bad for your brother. He has feelings. She’s going to hurt him. But I hope that you’re there for him if things turn out this way. He’s going to need the support.
Asker1 yI would like for him to be with a different girl.
Opinion Owner1 yI know you would. I’m sure all of your family would. But he’s a her right now. He has to realize it himself, that she’s a big mistake. Until than it’ll continue to be that way for however long. I don’t foresee their marriage lasting.
Asker1 yWhat if she gets pregnant?
Opinion Owner1 yThan he will probably be screwed than. She’s going to use that kid as a paycheck to get Chris support from him.
Asker1 yMy parents don’t know if she will leave him or not.
Opinion Owner1 yI’m sure she will. She will get tired of it. Like I said women tend to not like men like that that they can boss around. She may like it now cause she gets what she wants but eventually she won’t like that
Asker1 yI don’t see why a man would like a masculine woman.
Opinion Owner1 yA majority of men don’t. That’s why I asked about your dad. If he was masculine, take charge kind of man or if your mom ran all over your dad. Because more than likely the son will learn that from his parents relationship. So he will display those characteristics that a girl who is dominant will most likely key in on n go after.
Asker1 yMaybe because they are too young that’s maybe why.
Opinion Owner1 yNo. Sounds like he really cares about her. Like you said first relationship so he probably doesn’t want to mess it up. The girl’s mom is most likely the same way.
Asker1 yYou are right about her being like her mom.
Opinion Owner1 yBet her mom’s single too. Probably divorced at one time as well
Asker1 yI’m not sure about divorced but she is single and she is living with them.
Opinion Owner1 ySerious? Damn I feel sorry for your brother. He found an evil girl. Bet you the daughter and mom argue a lot. How about you? Married?
Asker1 yNo I have a boyfriend
Opinion Owner1 yOk. Well I wish him the best. I hope things don’t turn out too bad. Sounds like your brother is a hardworking man. He doesn’t deserve this. But he has to realize that. He’s kind of blinded by his feelings for her right now.
Asker1 yWhat do you think he is doing now?
Opinion Owner1 yI’m not sure. Isn’t he working right now? Is that what you mean?
Asker1 yHe might
Opinion Owner1 yIs she pretty? His wife? Wondering if she’s using her looks to too to get away w treating him the way she doss
Asker1 yShe is average looking.
Opinion Owner1 yOk. Hard to determine what that looks like. But regardless I hope things turn out ok for him. Just hang in there. Be there for him if he needs it.
Asker1 yDo you ever wonder why it has to be you that has to put up with sorted stuff?
Opinion Owner1 yWhat do you mean? Like stuff in my life that may not be going right? People’s problems and things?
Asker1 yLike there is always some type of problem with people all the time.
Opinion Owner1 yThat’s life. Everyone has some sort of problem Some may be more problematic than others. But we all have problems. I don’t mind trying to help people w problems. But the hardest thing is getting people to listen w out getting mad, offended.
Asker1 yThe last part I agree with you on.
Opinion Owner1 yIt’s hard for people to really take a look at their self and think, maybe I’m the problem. But I try. Some do listen. Some, especially w women tend to let their emotions take over
Asker1 yPeople are self centered like with some people you are just living in their world.
Opinion Owner1 yThere’s a lot of self centered people. But what can you do? Nothing really. Do you have other brothers and sisters?
Asker1 yOne sister
Opinion Owner1 ySo do you mind if I ask a little about you? Like what kind music you like? Movies? Favorite places to travel?
Asker1 yRock music, horror, sci fi, comedy, I like North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida
Opinion Owner1 yI like pretty much all music. Especially rock, metal, rap n country along w a lot of other things. I was stationed in North Carolina in the Marine Coros. Been to a lot of places in the states as well as overseas

What Guys Said
1 yYeah, a name is meaningless and arbitrary. If I really liked her and if this is what she wanted, I would let her change my full first and last name, and everything in between

1 yWe discussed hybridizing our names but she didn't care for the combos so she followed convention (which is A FUCKING STUPID CONVENTION). If she kept hers or even wanted the kids to have hers IDGAF.

1 yNo, but I wouldn't want her to change her last name either, it's her identity.
00 ReplyIf she has much more money than me maybe, normally it should be the other way around.
00 ReplyWe don't do the taking name thing where I live.. and even if it was a custom here I wouldn't care about it at all.
00 ReplyNo. And I don't force her to take my surname either, it's her choice to decide.
