Are you people seriously comparing changing a name to prenups and DNA tests?
How do you not get the clear difference between the two?
Yes, all of them can be interpreted as a sign of lack of trust/dedication to the marriage, but if the woman trusts a man and takes his name, and things don't work out, she can just change her name back. Big deal.
If the man [especially if he earns more money] trusts a woman, marries her without a prenup, accepts what comes out of her vagina as his kid without a DNA test.........and then things don't work out and they split, that's a
huge risk. Not only is he risking losing half of his money and his future earnings to a woman who has probably already moved on to the next guy [and she probably didn't even stay married to him for that long], but if one of those kids she spewed out turns out to not be his after all, he most likely will
still have to pay for that kid, which of course she'll most likely have custody of.
The nerve of some of you women, to be trying to keep your name during a marriage. If you're one of those women, then you'd better not have one damn thing to say when the guy pushes that prenup in your face, or when he asks for that DNA test.
