Marriages where wife took husband’s last name last 60% longer (Canadian Study)

[Shadow King]

No.

My observation is independant from the results of those studies.

Those studies are "a bunch of nonsense" because you don't like the results.

 

[African Peasant]

No, it is not.

Not really. You just don't like the results.

I like the 'result'

But it's not a reason to give a pass to a bunch of nonsense that people call study today

 

[Shadow King]

No I like the result

The study is still trash

Those studies are "a bunch of nonsense" because you don't like the results.

I’ll be damned if my girl has a choice in any matter

I didn't even know if this was a thing. I've never heard of a female getting married and not taking her husband last name, even the doctors I know. If you're not taking my last name let just shack up and skip the marriage part.

seems logical that people who care less about traditional marriage are more likely to end their marriage sooner.

Eh…there are plenty of cultures where the woman doesn’t take the man’s last name..so this is a narrow view of what a “traditional “ marriage is

A woman can’t legally change her last name in some countries

I remember my wife was on some “I don’t know if I want to change my name” shyt. I told her that shyt was non-negotiable and she better get her mind right.. needless to say she got in line.

Hope she doesn’t read this shyt

I think this is looking at it from an Anglo/English speaking POV where it is more so the norm for the woman to take the husbands last name.

Is it Spanish and/or Brazlian culture where there is a combination of family names or something of that nature?

But in those cases they would still be technically following tradition right? I feel like the crux of the issue is when people try to halfway commit to a tradition. Its a clear sign that they are not fully committed to that tradition.

at least that's what i suspect might be the correlation. Not that you need to change your name for a healthy marriage. But that its a clear red flag for the type of person who is only so so about it in this particular culture.

Brazilians take both parents’ names at birth.

Spanish women tend to keep their maiden name.

Fair. I’m more so acknowledging that that this a very North America-centric study before the Coli predictably starts talking about how every man in the world with a woman that has her maiden name is a bytch

Women may not change their names but they might have 2 surnames anyway and the paternal name is first. The children follow suit.

Nobody has their grandmother's family name.

A lot of Latinos combine name.....you know, the culture passport brehs like to run to

Loyalty doesn't come with a name, it's in you, not on your ID

 

[ThrobbingHood]

A man is jumping in front of a financial bullet getting married, but taking a man’s name is too much of a sacrifice for some? @CouldntBeMeTho

 

[ThrobbingHood]

What's the rate for men taking a woman's name?

I’ve seen this happen in real time. I literally hit the
