His Ex-Wife Continues To Use His Last Name Even After Getting Married And Divorced For A Second Time, And His Current Wife Thinks He Should’ve Forced His Ex To Stop
This 43-year-old man and his ex-wife both got married early on when they were just 24-years-old.
They initially met at college when his ex was an exchange student. Then, he and his ex entered a long-distance relationship, and he visited her for a year in her home country.
Eventually, they also decided to tie the knot, and his ex-wife became a permanent resident after they got married. However, just three years later, they got divorced after his ex cheated on him.
He claimed there were no hard feelings, though, since he also cheated on his ex-wife once before.
“We stayed amicable after the divorce, too, and handled the divorce ourselves through one of those kits,” he recalled.
“We basically became roommates.”
Anyway, following the divorce, he wound up meeting a new woman, and they dated for about seven years before they got married.
However, his wife is still pretty upset about one thing tied to his previous marriage– the fact that his ex-wife kept his last name.
Apparently, even after his ex-wife got remarried, she just hyphenated his last name with her new husband’s surname. Then, once his ex got a second divorce, she just went back to using his last name again.

“Personally, it doesn’t bother me as it’s nothing that I can control,” he admitted.
His wife, on the other hand, doesn’t see it the same way. She believed that he should have been more “forceful” and made his ex-wife drop his last name.
Now, he realizes that his ex-wife can play some sly games. For instance, she got married to her second husband on his parent’s wedding anniversary.
“And it was the same year my wife and I got married, and it seemed to have come out of nowhere after we got married,” he added.
Regardless, he doesn’t think he had any say over the last name that his ex-wife used.
But still, with his wife upset with him, he’s unsure if not forcing his ex-wife to drop his last name was really the wrong thing to do.
Do you think it’s strange that his ex-wife continues to use his last name? Regardless, do you agree that he couldn’t force her to stop? Or do you believe he should have tried?
